An unaccompanied 5-year-old girl from Honduras was found in Texas last week after crossing illegally into the United States, authorities said Thursday.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said the girl was found in Eagle Pass. She had a plastic bag with her birth certificate and an address in the U.S. where she was presumably headed.
Six days earlier, the child was found alone by three women in Piedras Negras, Mexico, across from Eagle Pass, who helped her cross into the U.S.
She allegedly told troopers her father was in Honduras and that she was traveling to reunite with her mother in the U.S. An investigation revealed that the mother had died three days prior.
