00:00The search for the missing little girl Remy had the town hold their collective breath.
00:04Eventually, a volunteer managed to find her in the cornfield, but it would not be the
00:09joyful reunion that he expected, because Remy was not alone.
00:12There was something behind her, and the volunteer knew that had to take immediate action.
00:17This little girl was not out of the woods just yet.
00:20When Quinlan, a volunteer in the search and also Remy's uncle, took a search dog out
00:25into the vast cornfields, he finally managed to find his little niece, but he could barely
00:31believe in what state he found her.
00:33Was he too late?
00:34There, Remy was, lying motionless on the ground.
00:37For a second, he thought that something might be really wrong, but then Remy slowly started
00:41getting up as if she had just awoken from a deep slumber.
00:45Quinlan was ready to pick her up and hug her, but then he saw it.
00:48Quinlan took a step back, away from Remy.
00:50The search dog he had followed started to growl.
00:53There was something behind Remy.
00:55But why had Remy made her way so deep into the cornfield?
00:58Why had she not responded to all the calls, and what did Uncle Quinlan see behind her?

01:12Timber Elliott was in the middle of getting her to-do list for the day wrapped up.
01:15She had started out with minor chores, and was now busy cleaning the house when her young
01:20daughter Remy walked in.
01:21Remy was three, and like most kids her age, she got restless easily.
01:25Remy asked if she could go play outside.
01:28At the time, Timber thought nothing of it, a decision she would later regret.
01:33About an hour passed, and Timber was finally ready with all the house chores of the day.
01:38She called for Remy to come inside for dinner and started plating up the table.
01:42But when a minute passed without Remy coming running into the house, Timber started feeling
01:48a little bit worried.
01:49About an hour later, Timber had finished up her cleaning and was wrapping up on dinner
01:54preparations.
01:55It was now time for Remy to come back inside and get a nice clean-up before eating dinner.
02:01However, the unexpected occurred.
02:04Timber called for Remy to come inside for dinner, but her calls were left unresponded.
02:09Timber began to worry.
02:10She could feel the stress of the day mixing with her anxiety.
02:13She did her best to calm down as she rehashed the details of the evening in her mind.
02:18Remy had come in the kitchen and had gone out to the backyard and likely trailed off chasing
02:23a bird or small animal.
02:25It would not be the first time Wanderlust had gotten the better of the toddler.
02:29Feeling a little more focused with the scenario she had painted, Timber hurried out the house
02:34into and into the streets, searching for her little daughter.
02:37She called for Remy as she walked down the small community, but still no response.
02:42Now, a few more moments had gone by, and Timber felt truly alarmed.
02:47Timber had been out for about 30 minutes when she noticed that she was no longer alone.
02:52Some neighbors had heard her pleas for her daughter and came out of their houses to check
02:56on what was going on.
02:57At his point, Imber could not deny the feeling in her gut.
03:00Something was definitely wrong.
03:02Her daughter was missing.
03:04Timber was shaking with worry.
03:06Knowing without a doubt that her worst nightmares were now a reality, had her very shaken up.
03:11Timber dialed 911 while he neighbors who had come out earlier made their rounds down the
03:17block, informing as many locals and enlisting help in finding the little girl.
03:21Not long after she got on the phone with 911, Timber's neighbors had managed to rally more
03:26locals and the group of searchers had increased.
03:29It didn't take long for them to garner that the little girl was nowhere in their small town.
03:34They realized that they would need to search the fields for her.
03:37The truth was, Timber lived in a small town that was entirely covered by vegetation.
03:42Other than the vast forest behind their farmland, the town also featured a plethora of extremely
03:48large cornfields.
03:49The town was well known for those fields, and a large part of the town's economy was dependent
03:54on it.
03:55They searched the large forest for the young girl, hoping she would be found quickly,
03:59but it resulted in no luck.
04:01The members of the search group had been out for hours, walking and yelling out Remy's name
04:06but received no response.
04:08Soon, they all began to fear the worst case scenario, the cornfields.
04:13Everyone worried that the young girl might have made her way to the dangerous cornfields.
04:17Not only were the cornfields thick, they were very difficult to maneuver, and it was quite
04:21easy to lose focus and get lost in them.
04:24Many members of the search parties feared navigating it so late in the night.
04:28The search crew huddled together in worry.
04:30It was very clear to them that they would not be able to handle the search on their own
04:34for much longer.
04:35Especially when the cornfields were involved, the last thing they wanted was more people
04:39going missing.
04:40They would need professional help.
04:42Lucky for them, it was right on the way.
04:44Help came just in time and in the form of police officers and their tenacious scout dogs.
04:50Timber felt like she was in a daze.
04:53Her mind felt foggy with fear as she searched for Remy.
04:56But the appearance of the search dogs made Timber pause for the first time since she realized
05:01her daughter was missing.
05:02The sight of the search team and their dogs made Timber think of fat health.
05:06The family dog, Timber realized that the dog was also missing.
05:10Could the dog be with her daughter?
05:12The police split the search party into groups while the volunteers began to search the edge
05:17of the fields.
05:17The search dogs were giving Remy's clothes to sniff in hopes that they would pick up
05:22Remy's scent.
05:23It seemed once the dogs caught Remy's scent the search was truly on.
05:28However, they didn't seem to catch a break.
05:30Instead, it seemed the dogs would have no luck in picking up the young child's trail.
05:35As the hours passed, the worry amongst the group seemed contagious.
05:39Timber was sick and besides herself with worry.
05:42However, she shook her head.
05:44She was determined to stay strong and focused.
05:47She had to be resilient for her little daughter who needed her strength more than ever.
05:51She did her best to believe in the process.
05:54There were now search helicopters roaming the air and searching the fields as the last bit
05:59of sunlight faded.
06:00Those on the ground had flashlights, but it seemed to matter less as the hours went on.
06:05The whole group agreed that in a few more moments, there would be very little they could
06:10do.
06:10As it got darker and darker, it was harder to see even with the blaring lights from the
06:15flashlights.
06:15They would have to resume in the morning.
06:17Timber was utterly distraught, but she knew that the group was right.
06:21She nodded as she listened to John Kopp, a close friend of the family, as he explained
06:26the dangers associated with searching at night for the young child.
06:30It was already like searching for a needle in a haystack with daylight aiding them.
06:34Timber listened to John and the other members of the search party.
06:37However, she could not take their advice much further than calling off the search.
06:42Timber was so riddled with fear that she could not close her eyes for a moment and instead
06:47stayed up contemplating where her little daughter might be.
06:50While others rested, Timber found herself growing even more desperate to unite with
06:55her young daughter.
06:56At the break of sunlight, the young woman was out and waiting to begin the search for young
07:00Remy once more.
07:01To her surprise, Timber found that she was not the only one who shared hat eagerness, as countless
07:07other had woken up to rejoin her in the search.
07:09The large group was rested and eager to begin their work.
07:13Breaking down into organized groups and sections, they were all emotionally and physically ready
07:18to take on the search campaign for the young child.
07:20By 6 a.m., the search party had each received their day's assignment and headed back out to
07:26the fields in search of the toddler.
07:28As Quinlan stood a few steps away from Remy, the search dog started growling fiercely, the
07:34tension in the air palpable.
07:35His heart raced, and his mind raced even faster.
07:39Something was wrong.
07:40Remy, though motionless at first, slowly began to stir, as if waking from a deep slumber.
07:47Quinlan instinctively moved toward her, ready to scoop her up in his arms and bring her to
07:51safety.
07:52But then he saw it.
07:53Something was behind her, lurking in the shadows.
07:56Quinlan froze.
07:57The search dog continued to growl, its fur bristling with tension.
08:01Whatever it was, it was closer than he had anticipated.
08:05The thing behind Remy wasn't just a shadow, it was moving, shifting as it drew nearer.
08:11Quinlan slowly backed away from Remy, scanning the surroundings, trying to understand what
08:16was happening.
08:17Why hadn't Remy responded to any of the calls?
08:20Why had she wandered so deep into the cornfield, and what exactly was following her?
08:24Just as Quinlan was about to step forward again, something unexpected happened.
08:29The creature behind Remy emerged from the shadows a large, bloodied stray dog, trembling with
08:35exhaustion and fear.
08:36It was clear it had been in some kind of fight.
08:38Its wounds were fresh, its body weak.
08:41The dog, covered in dirt and grime, had been following Remy for an unknown reason, possibly
08:47in search of help or safety.
08:49Quinlan, now realizing the situation wasn't as dangerous as he feared, took a cautious
08:54step forward.
08:55The dog growled again but seemed to calm down as Quinlan spoke gently, his voice low and
09:01steady.
09:02He had been prepared for something much more sinister, but the truth was far more tragic.
09:07The dog had been lost and injured, much like Remy, but it had found its way to her.
09:11Hey buddy, Quinlan whispered, kneeling down.
09:14You're alright now.
09:15The search dog, now more relaxed, stopped growling.
09:19Quinlan turned his attention back to Remy, who had started to sit up, looking confused but
09:25unharmed.
09:26Quinlan quickly called for the rest of the search party to approach.
09:29The dog was no longer a threat, but Remy needed to be taken to safety immediately.
09:34He carried her carefully, making sure to stay close to the injured dog, which followed them
09:39for a while before disappearing back into the cornfield.
09:42As the group made their way back to the town, Quinlan couldn't help but wonder how Remy had
09:46ended up in such a precarious situation.
09:49The cornfields were thick, and it was easy to get lost in them.
09:52But there was more to the story, questions that would need answers.
09:56Why had Remy wandered so far from home?
09:58And what had led her to the edge of danger in the first place?
10:02Despite the relief that Remy was safe, Quinlan couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that something
10:07more was hidden in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered.
10:10This was just the beginning of a mystery that no one could have anticipated.
10:13.
