A young girl who was reported missing from her home in the US state of Texas has been found dead.
Athena Strand, 7, went missing on Wednesday in the town of Paradise, sparking a vast search involving multiple law enforcement agencies and members of the local community.
Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin held a press conference on Friday evening saying he wanted to "send out condolences to the family of Athena Strand".
Sheriff Akin became emotional as he announced that a "body had been recovered" in the search.
"It hurts our hearts to know that that child died," he said. "So much so, that she is on her way to the medical examiner's office, and there's a Texas ranger in front of her, and there's a Texas ranger behind her".
Athena's body was found a few miles away from her home, police said
