## Resource

A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded when five-year-old autistic girl Saylor Hayes was found dead in the water—without her Project Lifesaver tracking band, a device law enforcement says could have saved her life. The band, designed to be cut off, not removed, is water-resistant and uses radio frequency tracking, which works better underwater than GPS. Authorities allege the parents interfered with the search, leading to child endangerment charges. The autopsy showed pulmonary edema, but no trauma, leaving the cause undetermined. The Project Lifesaver program, active since 1999, is available through certified agencies at a cost, and officials urge families of vulnerable individuals to enroll for safety.
