The Belleville News-Democrat reports that a Washington County judge granted guardianship of Sailor Gutzler to her half-sister Kasie Dlubala and her husband Daniel, of Nashville.
Sailor made national headlines when she miraculously survived the crash and walked alone in icy darkness, barefoot and bloodied, to a rural Kuttawa home.
Sailor's parents, 9-year-old sister and 14-year-old cousin were killed in the Jan. 2 crash as they returned from a Florida vacation. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Court guardian Julie Kozuszek wrote in a report that Sailor was doing well in school and involved in extracurricular activities while living with the Dlubalas. The guardian wrote that Sailor expressed desire to live with the family. The ruling was made Jan. 30.
