A two-year-old girl who went missing in a cornfield in Huron County on Tuesday night has been found safe.

Police say Susanna Martin was located in a hay field adjacent to the cornfield she had been playing in by an area land owner shortly after 10:30 a.m.

She was in good condition, but was taken to hospital as a precaution and released shortly afterward. She had been missing for over 14 hours when she was found.

Her uncle Frank Martin says "She had a little scratch on her legs, but she was okay. She was smiling." He adds that family was very happy when she was found.

Five children were reportedly out playing in a cornfield surrounding the property around 8 p.m. However, when the children returned one of them was unaccounted for. Family members searched the property, but were unable to locate the girl and contacted police around 10:30 p.m.

An OPP helicopter was involved in the search from the air, as officers and K-9 units set up a perimeter and searched the grounds at the rural property on Whalen Line east of Centralia, Ont.

"We were concerned," OPP Const. Kees Wijands says. "A lot of us are parents, grandparents…were were using heat sensing equipment to try and locate the child, again with the thickness of the corn that made it very difficult."

It turns out the little girl had made her way through an 80-acre corn field, through a soybean field and into Gerard Steenbeek's nearby hay field.

"When she saw me she kind of got up a little bit on her knees and she reached out her arms and she started crying - and I just grabbed her and held her close and she quieted right down and I just held her," he says.

A rescue helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Trenton was also used in the search.

Whalen Line between Elimville Line and McTaggart Line was closed by police during the search but has since re-opened.
