Significant Leads in Missing Boys Case
A man is said to be in police custody after bodies, matching the descriptions of two of the five missing boys, were allegedly discovered on a Grand Bahama beach Sunday.
While police remain tight-lipped, rumours spread in Freeport and crowds gathered at Rand Memorial Hospital and the home of 13 year-old DeAngelo McKenzie on Pioneer's Way. DeAngelo was the third boy to vanish.
According to the reports, morticians at Restview Memorial Mortuary were called by police to a remote location in Barbary Beach, where it is believed a body was found in the bushes.
Police are attempting to positively identify the body and a 23 year-old man is assisting police in their investigations. The man has apparently admitted, during interogation, to kidnapping and killing six young boys.
Police Commissioner Paul Farquharson said he would wait until, "we get something substantial," before gathering the press together to inform them of the progress in the investigation.
