Missing toddler found after two-day search

OHIO (WLS) -- A toddler was found after a massive two day search after she wandered out of her great grandparents' Ohio home.

Monday morning there was a happy ending to a harrowing ordeal for the family of Rainn Peterson.

Rainn was found alive just over half a mile from where she first disappeared.

Her great grandparents first reported her missing just after 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, telling police she had wandered out of their Ohio home where she lives with two other siblings.

Crews searched on ground and in the air, joined by hundreds of volunteers. As the search expanded into Pennsylvania, Rainn's worried family pleaded for her safe return.

But just before nightfall Sunday, a volunteer on a four-wheeler spotted the child sleeping in tall grass and called 911.

Both the caller and the operator were stunned.

"You're okay sweetheart I swear you're going to be okay," the volunteer says on the 911 tapes.

"Is she -- is that her I hear?" the operator responds.

"She's just crying," the caller says.

"OK I hear her. Oh, I just got goose bumps," says the operator.

"Oh god me too," the volunteer says. "I couldn't give up on this kid. Thank God."

Authorities took Rainn, wet and cold but otherwise unharmed, to the hospital as police investigate how she went missing in the first place.

"We have the FBI down there, they want to see any information we're going to get out of her, then reunite her with her family," said the Sheriff.

Relatives and neighbors alike are breathing a sigh of relief.
