Florida deputies find missing person trapped in quicksand

This short but incredible compilation of footage from 25 February 2026 shows Sheriff's Deputies from Putnam County, Florida locating and rescuing a missing person. While that may be par for the course for most Sheriff's Departments, most don't deal with their subject being buried up to their neck and shoulders in what's described as quicksand. The subject, Andrew Giddens, had gone missing on Valentine's Day after a bad breakup. He was finally located when an employee of the clay pit nearby spotted the truck and found him a short distance away, concealed by the grass and depression of the terrain. Giddens had previously been spotted in the area taking a walk, but received a trespass warning without anyone connecting the dots.
