KSBW covered the boy's face with a black circle because he is a minor and has not been charged

Maybe it is just the way the image looks, but he looks like a very large kid , esp for 15. Or it might be my weary eyes?
Maybe it was a tragic accident and he hid her, afraid to get in trouble. I'm holding on to hope where I can find it. Anyone else?

The tone of the presser info pretty much ruled that out in my mind. :-(
I shouldn't have.I didn't watch it.

Considering the timing of his arrest to the announcement her body was found, I have a hunch he confessed. JMOI wonder if this 15 year old boy may have found Maddy's body and LE handcuffed him to take him in for questioning on suspicion. Was it something he said which made LE believe he was involved, or did he lead LE to Maddy's body? Did he witness something or know something and LE want to secure him away from anyone else's influence to question him further? But I wouldn't think they would handcuff him though, just tell him they need to talk to him at the police station. Not looking good for this young man. If he's guilty and murdered Maddy deliberately and maliciously, I hope he gets tried as an adult. None of this young offenders nonsense. JMHO.
And 8 yr olds are so trusting. My daughter is 4 yrs younger than my son. I always had to remind her that his 'friends' were not necessarily her friends. And just because a boy played hockey or soccer with her big brother---that did not mean he was her friend or that she could walk with him or trust him, even. And that is hard to explain to an 8 or 9 yr old without ruining their lovely view of the world. :cry: I am sure that Maddy thought this neighbor boy was her friend.
