Body found in search for 10-year-old girl swept away by rising water in Texas, officials say
Briefly

The search for a missing 10-year-old girl in Brenham, Texas, tragically transitioned into a recovery mission when her body was found by a dive team. The incident occurred as the girl and her sister walked home from school during heavy rain. They crossed a bridge when rising waters trapped them, and despite heroic attempts by a neighbor and a police officer, the girl was swept away. Officials noted this behavior was typical for the girl, as the creek was normally navigable, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the situation.
A dive team located the girl's body at about 10 a.m., officials said in an update.
A male neighbor was able to grab the girl initially, but the water was too powerful, and she was swept out of his arms.
