That poor boy. I'm sorry about this.

That the boy died accidentally is believable. The overpass is not far away, and he died from falling injuries. The boy probably knew about the construction site and visited there before.

Kids do weird things. He was 13, and boys start to change at that age. Maybe he started doing more roaming around the woods? Maybe he saw a movie recently that got him inspired to do adventurous things? Who knows?

What I'm saying is that you don't have to think the boy ran away to think he ended up at that overpass on his own. From what has been said, there doesn't seem to be any good reason to think that a crime was committed here either.

I find it very odd that the bloodhounds were not able to track him from his home to that site.

I thought that's what bloodhounds do.

maybe he was mad about something... what kid never ran off (not to run away in terms of never coming back, but to get away to vent some steam?) Lord knows I did, go off, and come back in a few hours. Not proud of it, but I did it, and so did nearly every teenager I know at one point or another. I admittedly know nothing about this case, and I am very sorry for the family and I will keep them in my prayers.
