Child Dies In Crevice
In New Mexico, the search for a 4-year-old boy came to a sad conclusion after searchers discovered the child’s body inside a deep, narrow hole in a neighbor’s backyard. The boy was reported missing on Saturday and was initially the subject of an AMBER alert. A renewed house-to-house search had just started Sunday when a detective discovered the 14-inch-wide hole. Searchers later sent a camera down inside the hole, confirming the child’s body was about 30 feet down. (Bacon, 2012)
