According to the three-year-old boy, Casey Hathaway from North Carolina, it was a friendly bear, who looked at him, as he was left to fend for themselves in a cold forest, with temperatures close to minus degrees in two days.

rescue workers found the crying boy in some bushes. Cold and wet but in good condition Thursday night. He had been missing since Tuesday.

Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s fabricated, but the state of North Carolina’s forests are home to several black bears. Sheriff Chip Hughes said after the rescue to the NEWS CHANNEL 12, to the little boy ‘said that he had a friend in the forest, there was a bear, who was with him’.

Three-year-old Casey is now reunited with her mother Brittany and his sister, who can be seen in the background of the image. Private

the Same claim was subsequently mentioned by the boy’s aunt, Breanna Hathaway, on Facebook.

‘he said He was hanging out with a bear in two days. God sent him a friend to take care of him. God is a good God. Miracles do happen’, has the aunt written on his Facebook.

– He is a survivor, said the sheriff of the little boy on Friday, with reference to the fact that the rescue party had had to wade through life-high water to save the boy, which is just 66 centimeters tall.

He left the living from the forest, with only a few scares, and he would just like to have some water and her mother told Chip Huges.

In connection with the Casey’s pathless disappearance three days before, had his grandmother been looking for him for 45 minutes before she called the emergency services. Here, she said according to CNN the following:

‘He wandered around in the woods, and we can’t find him. The other two children came home to the house, but left him in the woods. He is gone somewhere in the woods, and we can’t find him’.

there was a large-scale search operation started with the participation of the police, the FBI, NCIS, US Marine Corps, and lots of frivllige. Divers were also sent down to investigate the nearby ponds in the area. At a time were the weather conditions so bad that the police refused the volunteers to participate in ettersøgningen.
