A 3-year-old boy was found in rugged Missouri woods Wednesday afternoon, 50 hours since he wandered away from his rural home three miles away, authorities said.

A construction worker who had volunteered to help search for Joshua Childers stumbled on the 3-foot-tall boy in the hilly terrain of Mark Twain National Forest, Madison County Sheriff David Lewis said. Joshua had slipped out of his house near Arcadia, in neighboring Iron County, more than 50 hours earlier, wearing a T-shirt, sneakers and a pull-up diaper.
