Searchers found a missing infant inside a dog crate buried underground, according to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon. The rescue is the subject of a WACH FOX 57 news report posted by LOCAL 12.

Reporting from near the search staging area, Kei'yona Jordon explains that deputies heard crying beneath the ground. Koon describes searchers beginning to dig once they realized where the sound was coming from. More than 100 people had taken part in the search.

The upload drew about 71,000 views in its first 15 hours, far beyond the Cincinnati station's usual start for a Short. Its focus is the discovery: the sound that alerted deputies, the digging that followed and the rescuers' effort to reach the infant.
