Gracelyn Vick, a 6-year-old girl from Saucier, Mississippi, was found dead near her home after being reported missing while playing in her front yard on April 13. The Harrison County Sheriff's Office confirmed that her body was located around 6 p.m. following a six-hour search involving local law enforcement and community volunteers. The investigation into her death is ongoing, with authorities stating that it is too early to determine if foul play was involved, and an autopsy was scheduled to help clarify the cause of death.
