ST. ALBANS — Wardens and troopers found a 5-year-old St. Albans girl, who had wandered away from her backyard four hours earlier, about a half mile from her house this afternoon.
Morgan Lawler’s family reported her missing at 9:30 a.m. She had been playing in the backyard of her home at 158 Bubar Road with the family dog.

Searchers who found Morgan Lawler return her to her home this afternoon.
Authorities responded in force, with two aircraft, a state police canine unit and many searchers. The wardens last week successfully located a 12-year-old boy missing overnight in Dresden, who was found cold but unharmed in a smelt shack.
Wardens found the girl uninjured in the woods over a half-mile from her house. The dog had returned home on his own, the warden service said.
