Edina police say the body of a missing 2-year-old girl was recovered early Tuesday afternoon in water adjacent to the city’s Rosland Park.

Officials had been searching for Iklas Abdullahi Ahmed, who had wandered away from her family during a park outing Monday afternoon. Authorities said she was at the park with her father and siblings and wandered off when her father took another child to the bathroom.

Authorities launched a search for the girl lasting overnight Monday into Tuesday that involved more than 150 people at one point. On Tuesday morning, police noted the girl was autistic and nonverbal and that she had an attraction to water.
