Investigators say they have new information bringing them closer to finding who killed a 10-year-old Iowa boy.
This month marks four years since Xavior Harrelson vanished from his mobile home in Montezuma. He was just days away from his 11th birthday.

Special Agent Kedley says more people have been coming forward with information over the last year and a half which has lead to new details, search warrants, and interviews to help them connect the dots.
“Myself, Chief Deputy Kivi, the whole investigative team are beginning to understand a few more of the dynamics and the elements that lead to Xavior’s death and then the dynamics immediately following Xavior’s death that help paint a picture for why it’s taken so long for us to get this clear picture,” said Kedley.

“Even in the last few months we’ve sat down and had conversations with Ms. Harrelson. She spoke with us early on. So there’s never been a time where she was uncooperative,” Kedley said.
Xavior’s inner circle revealed another theme for the investigation, drugs. His mom Sarah was
sentenced for selling meth in 2023. Her former boyfriend James Lowe was described as a step-father figure to Xavior. Lowe also has a history of drug use and was the center of a federal firearms
search of a home in New Sharon just weeks after Xavior’s body was found.

“Our number one goal is the truth about the death of this 10-year-old boy. People are just going to have to trust us really that we are doing everything we can and there are reasons we can’t share that information,” Kivi said.
Xavior’s own family still doesn’t know how he died.
