The police kept changing things from murder to suicide. After reading all the newspaper articles and how the boys clothes were folded and some ripped, I will never believe this little boy killed himself.

I didn't find any other family information or anything on the web about this little boy. I had come across one newspaper article and I just had to blog it. This little boy was most likely murdered and forgotten and that just doesn't sit right with me. I am hoping a family or other researchers can help fill in the blanks.
