Juvenile to Face Murder Charge in Diaz Case
Investigators rule out further arrests in the Clarksburg murder of seven year old Conrad Diaz II and charge 13 year old Frank Edward Antrobius of Laurel Lanes in a juvenile petition. Proceedings will stay in juvenile court with closed hearings. The case followed Diaz’s June 24 stabbing that drew a large local and state police investigation and rewards offers, with witnesses emerging through police work rather than voluntary testimony.
