Minn. Boys Missing Since Nov. Found Dead

[DeclinetoState]

(AP) MINNEAPOLIS A volunteer search team found the bodies of two young brothers encased in ice on the Red Lake Indian Reservation Sunday, more than four months after they disappeared, authorities said.

Tristan Anthony White, 4, and Avery Lee Stately, 2, had been missing since Nov. 22. The two boys, who lived on the reservation near the Canadian border, disappeared while playing outside their home.

"Today our worst fears were confirmed," said FBI agent Ralph Boelter.

The boys were found about a half-mile from where they lived. Authorities have not determined whether foul play was involved, Boelter said.

The lake was initially searched by divers in November as part of a massive search in the days after their disappearance. That search was called off five days after the boys vanished, and Boelter said rescuers resumed on Sunday in hopes the warmer weather would help.

Boy.

2 and 4 yrs old is very young to not have a watchful eye on them at all times. So sad.

That's what I was thinking. My son is 6 and he doesn't go further than I can see when he's outside. Usually I sit out on the porch if he leaves the yard. and I make him stay where I can see him from the window even if he is in the yard.
