After 13 hours of searching, Houston firefighters and teams from EquuSearch, a company specialized in searching for missing people, located the little girl trapped in a pool pipe that was supposed to let water out.
According to the complaint, the girl was “violently sucked into an unsecured open space 12 to 16 inches into the pool’s drainage system.”
