Those are some of the emotions that Jonathan Dean felt after being told his child was found safe. A search for missing 5year old Henton Dean has been concluded after the child was found 1 mile away from his home.


“Like, just, you know, it's a flood of emotions. You can't just describe one. It's like every emotion that you can do. The human can imagine. I'll feel it right now.” stated Jonathan.


The search for the missing 5-year-old included people from the community Lauderdale and Bailey Fire Department, MBI, Homeland Security and more. The Director of Lauderdale Management tells us more about this morning's events.

"So we sent a couple of teams in on foot to do some searches. We were working our way back down one of the roads near Grissom Road, where we got a phone call and a neighbor right down the street saw the child in her front yard," stated Odie.


Outside and alone for approximately 17 hours father, Jonathan jonathan tells us how his son says he made it through the cold rainy night.


"He said whenever he started shaking. So the dogs kind of got over and kept him warm. So,the dog was in the real heroes they kept. They probably kept them alive."


After being found and reunited with his family Odie Barrett, Director of Lauderdale Management tells us the condition the child was in.


"He was in great condition, great spirits. He was smiling. He was thirsty, but overall, he was good."


Henton’s father says he was very touched by the community and by all the people who came out to help find Henton.


“It's just this is just a great community to live in, and it's a great place to live. And you can't ask for better neighbors in this.”
