Sheer terror is what Nancy Jimenez says she was feeling once she realized her four year old niece Catarina was missing from her bed. Catarina was spending the night at her aunt's for the very first time.
"My husband was sleeping, so he's all like "she's sleeping". He never thought she was going to get up in the middle of the night and walk off."
Deputies say, that's exactly what she did.
Good samaritans found Catarina around 2 a.m and called police. Today Jimenez is counting her blessings.
"Time is of the essence, especially down here in Florida because this child happened to be in the roadway, there is so much water, there are so many things that could have happened."
Scary statistics tonight.
When a child is abducted 44 percent die within the first hour. After three hours, that number jumps to 76 percent and after a full day, a startling 88 percent. Jimenez knows she got lucky.
"I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful."
