This is so odd. The local news just said the autopsy is done, but no cause or manner of death could be determined. WTH
I wonder how they know that he 'was placed there.'
"A source close to the investigation told NBC10 that Brendan didn't walk alone to the area where his body was found and was "definitely placed there."
This happened about 15 minutes away from me so I've been following this one closely. It's so odd they couldn't determine manner of death from the autopsy. I hope the toxicology tests reveal some answers.
Well, if we believe the media, the tox on Lamar Odom was done almost instantly...wonder how long it will take in this case.
First, I want to say :welcome: to WS. Too bad it is under such tragic circumstances though.
I am wondering about the tox tests as well. It might be unfair for me to make this assumption, but the following statement makes me wonder if Dad has a history of past drug use:
"According to Camden County College spokeswoman Susan Coulby, Creato attended the school from Fall 2011 to Spring 2014 and was registered as an addictions counseling major. He did not complete a degree."
I am sure there are many addiction counselors who have never had drug issues---but I have never met any.
Well, if we believe the media, the tox on Lamar Odom was done almost instantly...wonder how long it will take in this case.
He was alive and at a hospital where results can come back within an hour so we can't really compare the two. I would hope they would push Brendan's tox screen through quickly due to the circumstances but I'm not sure what the policy in NJ is like. I would hope it's not the usual time frame that families have to wait after the death of a loved one for a tox screen bc that can be a few months.

here's a photo of the police tape. I'm not sure of the exact house. the only apts i'm aware of are right beyond the stop sign to the right. I live a few minutes away from westmont and walk cooper river almost everyday. its unimaginable...
I'm new here, but have been reading here for years. But this case prompted me to sign up. As a mother to two 3-year old boys who lives in the NYC tri-state area, this case hits way too close to home. I have been thinking about and researching this case as soon as I heard about it. That poor baby boy. He didn't deserve this....he must have been so scared.
I agree about the addictions counselor angle. I know many people who go in that field have struggled with addictions issues. I feel I can say that because I have a past history of having to go to detox/rehab/AA due to a sleeping pill/benzo addiction many years ago. (I have been one of the lucky ones who made a full recovery and has not had a relapse....my two boys keep me going! )
Anyway, I wanted to come here and say I listened to the 911 call. I definitely think that DJ sounded way too calm for someone reporting his baby boy missing. Thankfully, I've never been in that situation, but I would be freaking out/crying/pleading that someone come help us immediately. And, there was one point when it sounded like he was talking to a woman in the apartment and made the 911 operator hold on. He then says to the other person, "He's out.....no, he's not in there." Or something like that. Sorry, I don't have the exact words in front of me right now because I'm at work and they block a lot of sites. Anyway, was he starting to say "he's outside" because he knew that he was? Just something that I picked up on immediately.
Poor Brendan. I am heartbroken for that poor little boy and his family. I want to make sure I follow this case to the end so there is justice for him.
Thanks for reading my thoughts.
Three-year-old Brendan Creato disappeared from his family's apartment in Cooper Street, Haddon Township, wearing only his pajamas, neon socks and Mickey Mouse slippers.
The boy's grandfather said Brendan had gone missing between midnight at 6am.
hmm.... would a child put on his slippers over his socks if he wanted to slip out of the house and go outside??
