Jessica McClure was born on  March 26, 1986, fell into a well in her aunt's backyard in Midland, Texas, on October 14, 1987, at the age of 18 months.

For the next 56 hours, rescuers worked to free her from an 8-foot (20 cm) well, about 22 feet (6.7 m) below the surface.

The story drew worldwide attention and was later featured in the 1989 ABC television film "Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure".

Jessica McClure Parents, Reba McClure And Lewis McClure are now divorced. 

Reba, also known as Cissy McClure is now Cissy Porter. Her wedding was privately done and was written on the door of the church of Christ where the wedding took place that no cameras should be brought inside.

McClure is 21 years old now, married since January 2006 to Daniel Morales and a college student. But she will still be the “Baby Jessica,” a 58-hour rescue drama that dictates the attention - and emotions - of the city, the nation, and the world.

Jessica has not done much in nearly 20 years since that day. When she does, she says she doesn't remember her grief.

There were also some casualties related to the rescue. In 1995, Robert O'Donnell, one of the medical personnel who played a key role in pulling Jessica out of the well, committed suicide. Psychologists suggest that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by the rescue.

34 years ago today, we watched rescuers pull Jessica McClure out of well she fell in two days earlier.
