Desperate Search Efforts Unsuccessful: 9-Month-Old Baby Conrad Sheils Missing After Violent Pennsylvania Flash Flood Claims Lives of Mother and Sister
Officials in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, have suspended the search for a 9-month-old baby named Conrad Sheils, who, along with his mother and 2-year-old sister, was swept away in a violent flash flood earlier in the month. According to USA Today, the tragedy occurred when fast-rising floodwaters engulfed the family’s car near the Delaware River, resulting in six fatalities. Conrad had been missing since July 15, and after an exhaustive search, authorities announced on their Facebook page that they were unable to locate him.
The family was on their way to a family outing when the creek’s banks swelled and submerged the roadways. Conrad and his sister, Matilda “Mattie” Sheils, were separated from their family members while attempting to escape the flash flood. Conrad’s mother, Katie Seley, 32, was confirmed dead a day after the incident. Her husband, mother, and 4-year-old son were able to safely escape.

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office subsequently verified her passing as an accidental drowning.
