Upper Makefield Township Police Department(UPPER MAKEFIELD, Pa.) A search for a 9-month-old boy who was washed away in a Pennsylvania flash flood 12 days ago with his mother and 2-year-old sister has been suspended after authorities said Wednesday they "exhausted" all attempts to locate the child s remains.
The Upper Makefield Police Department said the search for the baby, Conrad Sheils, has ended after a massive effort to find him involving hundreds of search-and-rescue workers was unsuccessful.
"With broken hearts, we regretfully announce that the active search for Conrad has concluded," the police department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon after notifying Conrad s family.
Conrad was swept away in a deluge that hit Bucks County on July 15. His mother, 32-year-old Katie Seley, and his sister, 2-year-old Matilda "Mattie" Sheils, were also washed away in the flood waters and drowned, officials said.
