MAITLAND - The body of a young girl was pulled from a murky Central Florida pond Sunday morning, and a small boy was found clinging to life a few feet away.
But police are baffled by the circumstances surrounding the incident and the reason no one reported the children missing.
Police think the girl is 1 or 2 years old; the boy is thought to be about 5. They were found by a fisherman, whose identity was not released.
"One of the things that concerns us the most is why haven't the parents come forward and said, "Hey, we're missing our child,"' Maitland Deputy Police Chief Gary Calhoun told the Orlando Sentinel.
An autopsy will be performed on the girl today. The boy is in critical condition at Florida Hospital-Orlando, officials said.
The boy managed to tell investigators that his name is Randall, but police do not expect to be able to interview the child for several days.
The pond where the children were discovered is in an office park, miles from any houses or apartments, meaning it's unlikely that the children wandered to the pond on their own.
Divers searched the pond Sunday and will resume today, but the search could take several days because of the murky waters.
