NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A child was found dead in East Tennessee following a statewide Amber Alert on the Fourth of July in her disappearance.
"We have a heartbreaking update on the search for Serenity Kinsey," a spokesperson said with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. "A dive team located her body in the lake near her home a short time ago. Our hearts go out to her family during this difficult time."
The young girl is Serenity Alanna Marie Kinsey, who is nonverbal with autism, according to the TBI. She lived in Dandridge, which is a half hour east of Knoxville.
There is no other information available at this time.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
