Bodycam video shows K-9 officer finding missing person
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office released an officer's bodycam video on Tuesday showing the final moments of an intense search for a missing senior citizen. Authorities say K-9 Officer Buzz was instrumental in the search.
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. - The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office commended one of its K-9s and deputies for a heroic effort rescuing a missing woman.
Deputies said K-9 Buzz helped with an extensive search.
Body camera footage shows Buzz leading deputies in a wooded area. Buzz and Sgt. Noah Sprague found the woman in a ravine near a rising river.
"I found her, I found her," Sgt. Sprague could be heard telling dispatch.
The creek is located behind her home.
"Just stay put! We’re gonna come find you. This is the sheriff’s office, OK?" the sergeant can be heard yelling to her. "We’re going to get you some help, yes ma’am!
"She’s about 20 feet down an embankment," Sgt. Sprague said telling dispatchers. "She is responding to me, we just got to get to her somehow."
The sergeant can also be heard giving some much-deserved affirmation to his partner.
"Good boy, Buzz! Good boy!" he told his partner.
