Found Deceased IL - Andrew Freund, 5, Crystal Lake, 17 April 2019 *Arrests* - #2

I think we all new from the start how this would end.

Yes we did.....I'm unbelievably sad but relieved that he was found so soon. There are many children that are never found and someone clearly knows where they are.

Where is the father right now? I have not read anything about his location at this time, have any of you? IMO, she talked.

Has there been any reports today of the whereabouts of Andrew Sr.? Is he at the police department also?

Zanny short for Zenaida "Zanny" Fernandez-Gonzalez

Thank you.

What happened to the Presser?

 

[Whiteorchids]

Is it possible he died from starvation?

Per WGN-TV, the 1PM presser will last 10 mins and neither the CL PD nor the FBI will be taking questions.

EDIT to add . . . The location of parents (and their status) is unknown.

As I expected since ongoing investigation. They never give details at the pressure as to not compromise the case. Ugh.

IIRC, I think the term was coined during the Casey Anthony trial.

“Zanny the Nanny” = Xanax.

I don’t think they’d “waste” their Xanax on anyone other than themselves. These people, from reading the police reports, seem like a massive train wreck. Police being called repeatedly because someone “stole my prescription”....One police report refers to Rx “strips.” I assume that’s suboxone, which they could have been taking, or selling for $ for their illicit drug of choice. JMO.

But if, in fact, AJ is dead, I hope he didn’t suffer in the process. Meanwhile, I’ll wait for the presser.

Watching HLN right now.
Good point, we don't know how long AJ was missing before the 911 call was made.

I asked Tricia if the mods could start a new thread

 

[nyvictoria]

Does anyone know if AJ attended school?

 

[bmacmillan1]

Nohh...
Was just hoping against hope as we all were.
Left with this terrible sadness for AJ and a helpless anger at this mother and father.

Never mind just found out that presser was moved to 1 pm.

My mom had a drug addiction and I love her very much. She’s a good person and I know she would never have chosen to go down that path. I have empathy for addicts. It’s not a choice and there’s normally also underlying mental illness that walk hand in hand with addiction. That’s why I’ve been saying since day 1: the biggest criminals here are DCPS. It’s not the parents, IMO. They had SO many warning that these parents were unfit and still did nothing to remove them from the home. As much as I have empathy for addicts, the child’s safety comes first and it was as clear as day that those children were not safe. So yeah, I blame the child protective services the most in this case.

I understand what you are saying. But it is hard to say it is CPS's fault that AJ was born with opiates in his system. Or CPS's fault if AJ was malnourished because his parents didn't feed him enough. I think the parents should have some accountability and responsibility for their own dire actions. JMO

I think that is a distinct possibility; that he died as a result of complications due to neglect. So heartbreaking.

 

[k8ling0087]

this is sooo sad. I cannot wait to go home and hug my boys tonight. This breaks me.

 

[nyvictoria]

does anyone have a link for the presser?

IIRC, Casey Anthony used chloroform to make Caylee sleep while she partied. "Zanny" was what she called the nanny, Zenaida Gonzalez.
