By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow March 5 at 11:42 AM The Carrico sisters were getting impatient.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office released this photo of Leia Carrico, 8, left, and her sister, Caroline Carrico, 5, as they sought the public's help in locating them. Most importantly, the girls applied this most vital survival tip — when they realized they were lost, Caroline and Leia stopped walking and waited for help.
About 30 minutes after their hike conversation, Caroline and Leia’s mother realized they weren’t playing in the yard. Over the next couple hours, their parents formed their own search party, authorities said, calling neighbors and scouring the area around their house for clues. “I wasn’t hopeful after the first night,” Carrico told ABC News. “I constantly heard my kids screaming for help in my head.”
In the darkness Friday, Leia told ABC News that her little sister “cried the whole night.” She encouraged Caroline to think “happy thoughts” about their family.
I hope they brought a switch back with them because I would hug kiss and beat they asses for wondering off and getting lost after I told they ass 'No.' Hard head makes for a soft behind.
This is probably the 3rd child-lost-in-the-woods story this past year. Are these parents pulling a Hansel & Gretel, then suddenly getting a 'conscience' when the kid is a trooper? Read the original book! They live!
Very brave and smart little girls. 💙💜💛💚
Several days old, what WaPo slow news day?
How did they get lost in the woods?
So nice to read a good-news story for a change.
These are things schools need to teaching! Not proper pronouns, not two mommies and daddies or making children little radical activists!

House set to vote this week on gun reform billsThe House will vote on two gun control measures this week. While they should pass the House, their fate in the Senate is up for debate. With Capitol Hill jammed, big business is stepping up. Stephanie Ruhle is joined by Dick’s Sporting Goods’ CEO, Ed Stacks, to discuss his choice to change the way his company approached gun reform after the Parkland shooting. It is legal, cheap and easy to make your own guns at home with no serial numbers or registration, and new technology makes it easier every year. The Genie is out of the bottle and it won't go back. Nothing is going to change that. Yawn
