A 2-year-old girl who went missing in Coke County last Thursday, was found safe following an extensive overnight search involving multiple agencies. The child, identified as Janey, disappeared around 9:30 p.m. Thursday near her family’s home along the Coke–Runnels County line. Her father reported her missing shortly after, prompting a large-scale search effort.
Texas DPS, local sheriff’s offices, Texas Rangers, drones, helicopters, K-9 units, and community volunteers scoured the area through the night. After nearly 12 hours, a DPS helicopter crew located Janey stuck in a mud hole roughly half a mile from home. She was dehydrated and bitten by insects but otherwise unharmed. After treatment at a nearby hospital, she is now recovering at home. Her family called her rescue a miracle and thanked all who helped.
