BRADENTON - Born with Autism, Kesia Kearse, 5, never really talked. Still, her parents knew she loved water, because she'd jump in it every chance she got.
"This particular day, she did something she'd never done before," remembered her grandmother, Bea Lovely.
While visiting Lovely's house in Bradenton along with her father and brothers Monday afternoon, Kesia unlocked a sliding glass door.
Minutes later, neighbors saw her disappear, submerged in a backyard retention pond. They dove in to try to find her.
Kesia's family didn't even know she was missing.
"I'm looking at all these people trying to save somebody, and little did I know, they were out there to save my granddaughter," Lovely said. "My hair's standing up right now. I'll tell you, that was a devastating feeling."
