Horrible. I wouldn't want to be the step mom....
WISE COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) — A two-day search in rural Wise County amid cold temperatures led to the discovery of Athena Strand's body. The 7-year-old was first reported missing from her father's home on Nov. 30.
At about 8:00 p.m., her body was found about 6 miles away from her home.
Police set up a perimeter with crime scene tape around a car.
So far, they've not released any details about what may have happened to her. Earlier this week, Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin said they believe Athena likely ran away but did not rule out foul play. "It could be any number of things and we're looking at all those possibilities."
Officials were also concerned about the weather conditions. Hypothermia - a medical emergency in which the body's temperature drops below 95ºF - can occur at external temperatures as high as 40ºF.
Athena was last seen at her father's home on County Road 3573 in Paradise, Texas, wearing a gray long sleeve shirt with white flowers, blue jeans with white flowers on the pockets, and brown boots.
The Wise County Sheriff's Office said they received a call from her stepmother reporting her missing after the two had an argument while her father was not home. Police said she spent "about an hour" looking for her before contacting the sheriff's office.
An Amber Alert was issued for Athena on Thursday and several hundred volunteers came out to Wise County to aid in the search.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
