Norwalk Boy Feared Victim of Foul Play
Norwalk deputies strongly fear foul play in the disappearance of 10-year-old Charles Houghton from his Norwalk home nearly four weeks ago. Detective Sergeant Tom Kelly said the case is unlikely to be an accidental death, noting the body would likely have been found in the extensive search. Charles is the son of Mr and Mrs Charles A Houghton of Excalibur Drive. The search also targets 11-year-old Rodney Fields of Lakewood, missing since last Thursday, with a lead involving a Corona restaurant and a Seal Beach police officer’s brother-in-law turning up only as a possible sighting.
