Florida authorities were searching for a baby girl missing on the Panhandle on Monday.
Seven-month-old Shannon Lea Dedrick was last seen on at her Chipley home on Saturday. She was described as 2-feet tall and 11 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
Her parents reported her missing from their home at 11:23 a.m. on Saturday. Shannon is believed to have disappeared between 3 a.m. and 11 a.m., according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
