Two Kids Found Safe After 7 Hours In The Woods

Two 11-year-olds were found safe after spending part of the night in the woods.

The Maine Warden Service reports Cooper Bowden and Neveah Woodard, both from Plymouth, went outside to play Saturday at approximately 6:30 p.m. Twenty minutes later, their parents noticed that the kids were no longer in the yard and started yelling to them. When they didn't answer, the parents notified Wardens and Maine State Police.

A Police K-9 was brought in to aid in the search, along with several volunteers from the Plymouth area. The pair was finally located at around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, approximately three-quarters of a mile away from their house. Officials say both kids were cold, but otherwise fine, and were returned to their parents.
