Divers on Wednesday found the body of a 2-year-old girl who had been the subject of an Amber Alert after she disappeared from the dock at her family’s lakeside home.

The sheriff’s department said it appeared that Trinity Nicole Casey had drowned.

Her body was found about eight feet from the dock on Lake Wylie where she was last seen the evening before, during a family barbecue.

Police issued an Amber Alert early Wednesday after the girl’s aunt said she had seen a man driving in the neighborhood about the time Trinity disappeared.

The little girl’s family had moved to South Carolina from Illinois just a few days earlier.
