want to thank your entire team at the Levy County Sheriff’s Office. Cedar Key Police Department and the community of Cedar Key for their unwavering support. We extend that indebted appreciation to FWC to the citrus and Marion County sheriff’s offices to the Coast Guard, both out of Miami and St. Pete. And so many others who responded from other agencies with resources and prayers.”
“The support and immediate response from law enforcement, the community, local fisherman and first responders came together seamlessly. We are greatly touched and still in awe of the overwhelming and rapid response from everyone who came out the night of the 17th and the morning of the 18th, even before the sun started to come up to continue the search for our girls, which ultimately led to their rescue.
“Hours later, both girls were immediately treated by an amazing rescue team for dehydration and for hypothermia as they get their strength back and expect a full recovery. They will be monitored by the team of doctors and nurses here at the hospital and hope to go home.”
“We would like to ask that the media continues to accept information from the Levy County Sheriff’s Office as a reliable source and respect the family’s wishes for privacy.”
Letter to the sheriff signed by the Aponte and Bryan families.
