A mystery arose from the rescue: The police officers who entered the water say they heard a voice calling for help.
The mother was dead, but the officers said that they heard an adult's voice calling to them.
"The four of us heard a distinct voice coming from the car," Warner told CNN. "To me, it didn't sound like a child's voice."
The voice gave the rescuers a surge of adrenaline needed to push the vehicle upright, he said.
The mother was dead. The child was unconscious, but her eyelids were fluttering, and the rescuers knew she was alive, Warner said.
It's one of those things that doesn't have an explanation, he said about the voice.
"It felt like I could hear someone telling me, 'I need help,'" DeWitt told CNN affiliate KSL. "It was very surreal, something that I felt like I could hear."
Tyler Beddoes, a third officer at the scene, said the same.
"All I know is that it was there, we all heard it, and that just helped us to push us harder, like I say, and do what we could to rescue anyone inside the car," he told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."Share
