Officials say the body of a small child, believed to be a missing 1-year-old girl named Kaylee, was found today in a slough in a remote area of Sacramento County.

The body of a small girl was found in the Georgiana Slough Sunday afternoon nearly a week after a father and her young daughter were reported missing in the area, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department. The baby was found a third of a mile north of where Kyler Jackson was found, he said. They were believed to be headed home toward Sacramento, but family members said they never arrived.

Turnbull said search crews have identified a metal object under the water Saturday night, but it’s not confirmed what it is. A Stanislaus County Sheriff’s dive team resumed searching for the teenagers Sunday morning.

Coincidentally, this happened shortly after Jackson’s body was discovered, just before 7 p.m. Saturday evening at the Brannan Island State Recreation Area.
