A Chicago family believes a boy who was found sexually assaulted and suffocated to death in a North Side park earlier this month was lured by a person on a telephone chat line.
The body of Michael Williams Jr., 14, was found naked in a park in the 2700 block of North Lake Shore Drive. His cell phone was found in the 4400 block of North Lake Shore Drive, both locations more than 20 miles away from his South Side home, NBC5's Kim Vatis reported.
"It was quite disturbing, but at least I got closure, because I couldn't sleep when I first heard about it, thinking that somebody had him, torturing him or whatever," the victim's father, Michael Williams Sr., said.
Williams said he believes his son was using the chat lines because his cell phone bill was extremely high. He said his son had never been to that part of the city before, and had no reason to be there, Vatis reported.
"I think they should just shut them all down, because where they have stuff set up for teenagers kids and teens to talk on, it's just a setup for people who want to commit crimes against children," Williams said.
Police aren't saying whether the phone chat lines were directly linked to Michael Williams Jr.'s murder, but are looking into his phone records during the course of the investigation.
The younger Williams was a junior deacon at his church and was about to begin the eighth grade at Vernon Johns Community Academy.
