Rescue team and law enforcement cleared a search scene in Monroe after a toddler was found dead in a creek near his home on Friday.
Grayson Hill was last seen by his parents around 12:20 p.m. at the 12700 block of Woods Creek Road. They called 911 around 12:40 p.m. to report he was missing.
About 60 to 70 volunteers helped Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office in the search.
The father was with the search team when his son’s body was found.
“Dad contacted us, he wanted to come out in the field and help,” said Lt. Rodney Rochon with Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. “What parent wouldn’t want to find your own child and that’s how the father wound up with him.”
The Sheriff’s spokesman says it looks like the parents may have turned their head for a split second, and he was gone.
