Searchers Recover Missing Girl’s Body
Searchers have found what they believe is the body of Teketria Buggs in the Brazos River, about 2 miles from the 12-year-old girl’s home where she was reported missing Dec. 3.
The Orchard girl’s body was discovered at about 1 p.m. Thursday by a four-person team from Texas EquuSearch and a cadaver dog, specially trained to detect human remains. The dog and team members were in a boat in the river.
EquuSearch Director Timothy Miller said he and a Fort Bend County Sheriff’s investigator were at a bridge on F.M. 1489 about a mile upstream from where the team was searching, when the team radioed they’d made the discovery.
“He cried, I cried, and then we shook hands and said ‘yes, we did it’,” Miller said.
