SAVANNAH, Ga. - Authorities searched Wednesday for a 6-year-old boy who vanished after he went out to play nearly a week earlier, and police arrested two men on charges
they lied to investigators by claiming to have buried the child's body.
David Edenfield and Donald Dale were charged after leading officers during the night to a spot where they said the boy was buried near the mobile home park.
"They took them out to show them where the body was buried, but they could not locate the body," said Capt. Jim Nazzrie. "We don't know whether they're just telling crazy lies or if they know something."
Edenfield is the father of a convicted sex offender considered a suspect in the boy's disappearance, Nazzrie said. George David Edenfield lives across the street from the boy's grandmother, and has told police he played a role in abducting Christopher Michael Barrios who disappeared March 8...
On Monday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued a Levi's Call, the state's equivalent of an Amber Alert, for Christopher. Typically, that's only done in a known child abduction case.
"The only thing that makes any sense is he was abducted," Police Chief Matt Doering said Tuesday.
Investigators say tips from George David Edenfield and his mother also have failed to lead them to the boy.
The younger Edenfield has been jailed on charges he violated his probation, which prohibits him from contact with children under 18. His mother, Peggy Edenfield, has also been arrested on charges of giving false statements to police.
"He's made four, five or six different statements, all conflicting," Doering said Tuesday...
Rodriguez said she had warned her grandson to stay away from the Edenfield home after she found her neighbor's name on Georgia's online sex offender registry.
"I told him, 'Christopher, they're not nice people. Stay away from them,'" Rodriguez said.
