(CNN) -- A baby who had been missing for days was found alive late Wednesday in a box underneath the bed of the child's baby sitter, Florida authorities said early Thursday.
The sheriff of Washington County in rural northwest Florida carried the 7-month-old girl into the early morning news conference.
"This is Shannon Lee Dedrick. We found her safe; we do not usually get the happy endings that happened here today," Sheriff Bobby Haddock said.
