Third Missing Boy Found Dead in West Virginia Mountains
In Davis West Virginia the frozen body of 9 year old Eston Carr was found on a mountainside completing a search for three boys missing a week. His 7 year old brother Robert was found dead Monday and 16 year old John Helmick was rescued Sunday but critically ill with pneumonia. The boys left their mountain town to visit the Carr home late last Tuesday as fog and snow caused them to become lost amid rugged terrain and 150 volunteers searched day and night.
