NEOSHO, Mo. (AP) – Officials have found the body of a 12-year-old girl who was
swept away in Shoal Creek last week at the Lime Kiln Park in Neosho. The
Missouri State Highway Patrol tells Springfield station KYTV the body of
Kaylin Brown was found by a recovery team Sunday night in the creek. The girl
was swept away by rushing water last Wednesday after getting caught up in the
hydraulic current below the dam. Rescue crews had to suspend the search on
Thursday and Friday because of severe storms and rising water. A man who had
tried to rescue Kaylin, 34-year-old Trevor Hicks, was pulled from the water by
rescue crews on Wednesday. His medical condition was not immediately known
Monday.
