Authorities find body of 4-year-old Alabama boy missing since New Year's Eve
Johnathan Boley's body was found two miles from his home after a two-day search involving over 160 volunteers; his father faces explosives-related charges unrelated to the disappearance.
- On Wednesday, Johnathan Everett Boley, 4-year-old boy, was reported missing after last being seen at 11:30 a.m. near Highway 195, prompting a search in heavily wooded Jasper, Alabama.
- Reportedly with his 6-year-old brother and the family's dog, Johnathan Everett Boley disappeared, and the mother, who moved to Florida last year, returned Wednesday evening to assist investigators.
- Sheriff Nick Smith said crews used helicopters with thermal detection and canine units until 3 a.m., then resumed Thursday, while the family's dog was last seen on a neighbor's game camera on the afternoon of the 26th.
- During the search, explosive devices were found on the father's property, and he was interviewed by the FBI; Sheriff Nick Smith said the explosives charge `has nothing to do` with the missing-child investigation.
- Search teams covered over 500 acres Thursday with mutual aid from 126 first responders and 161 volunteers; neighbors reported explosions for weeks including one about 4 a.m., but Sheriff Nick Smith said he "can't say" there is a connection.
