Zoey Rose Guerrero Pena, 2, was found in a neighbor's home on Friday morning after she managed to escape her crib in Manchester, New Hampshire, Thursday night
A two-year-old girl managed to climb out of her crib overnight, sneak out the back door and make her way into a neighbor's apartment in freezing temperatures.
Zoey Rose Guerrero Pena was last seen asleep in her crib Thursday night at her grandmother's house in Manchester, New Hampshire, only to be reported missing hours later at 3:30am.
After officials launched a search that included dogs and a helicopter in wintry weather, little Zoey was found safe inside a nearby apartment on Friday morning.
The neighbor said she awoke at about 9:15am, saw the child inside and immediately contacted the police.
Manchester police and firefighters searched for nearly six hours for the toddler overnight as temperatures were in the teens and snow was on the ground.

Her father, Randy Guerrero, said to WMUR-TV: 'Seventeen-degree weather. She's out here for ten minutes, you think she's gone. We couldn't find her.'
Zoey's mother, Geraldine Pena, said to the station: 'I was out here screaming for five hours, nonstop. I didn't go in. I didn't stop. I was determined to find her.'
Police believe Zoey somehow escaped her crib overnight, in order to make her way out of the house. She was only wearing a pink one-piece sleeper.
Pena, from Nashua, New Hampshire, said her daughter was in good condition. She was not at the Manchester home when her daughter was reported missing.
She said to WMUR-TV: 'I want to thank everyone from the core of my soul. People who don't even know us were out in the cold trying to help. I want to thank them so much.'
Manchester Police Lt. Brian O'Keefe said they are still investigating how she got outside of her home and into a neighbor's.
The toddler was taken to hospital to have her conditions checked out and her mother later released a statement that said she was doing fine
