Missing boy's mom: 'I could feel his fingers slipping' away

  • By BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press

The mother of a 5-year-old boy missing in floodwaters from California's epic winter storms says she thought it was safe to drive across a creek flowing over the road she drove to school every day. Lindsy Doan says she was surprised when the current swept her SUV off the road. Doan says she managed to get out of the flooding vehicle and cling to a tree but the current swept her son from her grip. More than 100 people, including National Guard troops, dive teams, dogs, drones searched San Marcos Creek for a fourth consecutive day Thursday.
