Five-year-old Jenysa Alleyne has been found alive.
The child went missing at around 5pm on Friday, triggering a desperate search by villagers, fire officers and members of the Hunters Search and Rescue Team.
Jenysa is autistic and cannot speak.
That search ended at around 7.50am when team leader Vallence Rambharat spotted the little girl sitting on the banks of the Caroni River, six miles from her home.
