Police had gone up and down the basement stairs several times while searching a home in the Saugerties, New York, area Monday for any trace of 6-year-old Paislee Shultis, who had been missing for more than two years.
Roughly an hour and a half into the search, one detective took a closer look at the wooden staircase. "He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was something about the staircase that bothered him," police Chief Joseph Sinagra told CNN.
Det. Erik Thiele pointed his flashlight at the spot where a stair met the riser, Sinagra said. Thiele saw what he believed to be a blanket, and police began to disassemble the staircase.
