Found Deceased IL - Bryeon Hunter, 1, Maywood, 16 April 2013 *Arrests*

Bryeon Hunter was leaving a McDonald’s with his mother near 5th and Main Street, when three men grabbed them.



They will continue their search Wednesday in Thatcher Woods and the Des Plaines River.




IIRC, the river is directly behind the back of the McDonald's parking lot. :(


Now I am wondering when the last time anyone besides mom saw Bryeon alive and well. How did they get to McDonald's? It seems like a bit of a long walk with a 1 yr old to McDonald's. Plus the intersection where the McDonald's is, is a busy one.

The mother then went to the 300 block of South 10th in Maywood and called police


The Maywood police station is located at 125 S. 5th Ave.


Will come back and add a map shortly, as well as carry this to the current page.
 
WBBM am radio just reported Bryeon's body has been found. Waiting for more info.
 
Oh goodness :( I would have taken that little guy, given him all the time in the world to potty train. It takes time and patience! Heartbroken over this.

Maywood police chief says investigators searching for missing 1 y.o. boy are still "piecing this together" http://bit.ly/13jbEpZ

When asked if he believes the child is alive, Curry said, "I'm not optimistic."

Me too. How can anyone hurt a child with eyes that just melt your heart.

:(
 
These stories just rip my heart out. RIP sweet boy.

A = McDonald's.
B = Where abduction allegedly occured
C = Where mom went to call police
D = Maywood Police station

Note the proximity between the location of the alleged abduction and the police station. Your kid gets abducted right near the police station but you walk blocks in the opposite direction to call them?

:furious:

WBBM radio is talking about the bombings, the arrest in TX and the weather. Nothing more about Bryeon at this point.

Back of mom's #Maywood home, river, forest preserve searched for missing toddler after suspects cleared http://abc7.ws/XGF9BA

K-9 units were searching the area behind his mother's west suburban Maywood home Wednesday. They're also searching a forest preserve and part of the Des Plaines River.
 
I'm so upset about this! So many of us on FB were wondering why an Amber alert wasn't sent to our phones. The helicopters were circling over my area yesterday looking for this baby. He's a baby. The grandmother said he isn't even talking yet. Uggghhhhh. I just want to scream at my desk!

Heading to Maywood on this weird story that reeks of suspicion and tragedy. Search continues for abducted 1-year-old

.
 
The source says the body of a child believed to be Bryeon Hunter was recovered from the Des Plaines River near Maywood on Wednesday morning.

This is not an official id, yet.....

:(

Why?

The source says the body of a child believed to be Bryeon Hunter was dumped into the Des Plaines River near Maywood. Police on the scene are still searching the area on Wednesday morning.

Earlier, the source said the body had been recovered.....

Police are also questioning Bryeon’s father.

Sounds like they jumped the gun on reporting that the body had been found.

Poor lil guy. :(

I will NEVER understand!!
 
Thank you for the updates everyone. Sounds like mom fessed up the river as the dump site and now they are still searching.

I'm concerned about recovery possibilities. They are saying the Des Plaines river will reach flood stage by Friday morning not far south of Maywood, in nearby Riverside. They are sandbagging further north along the Des Plaines.

I had to bump this beautiful child's photo again.

I am so so sad. Praying the searchers can recover him. :please:
 
Ugh... had a bad feeling about this from the get-go.

Hopefully his body can be recovered today.

Maywood police confirm they now believe a missing child 1-year-old Bryeon Hunter is dead: http://bit.ly/15fRPUo

Police search river for body of missing child

Maywood police confirm they now believe a missing child is dead.

They are searching the Des Plaines River for the body of 1-year-old Bryeon Hunter.

A massive operation is under way, as recovery teams from across the western and southwest suburbs seem to be focused on a particular section of the river off Lake Street near the corner of First Avenue.

Investigators appear to be working with very specific information, but so far detectives have released very few details about what they know or do not know.

snipped

In the meantime Maywood police continue to talk to the missing boy’s mother, Lakeshia Baker. Some relatives have voiced concern — they say she has been at the Maywood police station since 5:00 last evening.

There has been no word from police that the boy’s mother is a person of interest and she has not been charged with any wrong-doing.
