UPDATED: 12:04 p.m. Crews in Lycoming County found the body of a child Tuesday morning. The discovery was made not far from where Logan Mitcheltree, 9, disappeared on Saturday afternoon.
It is a sad ending to a massive search that involved hundreds of volunteers. The tragic discovery was made just after 8:00 a.m. by a Bureau of Forestry search member. He was setting up grid marks for the day's search. That worker caught a glimpse of something orange. It turned out to be a backpack near the body of a young boy.
Investigators now believe the body is that of Logan Mitcheltree.
A South Williamsport spokesperson says there is nothing suspicious about the death.
The boy was last seen Saturday afternoon at his South Williamsport home. Searchers turned out by the hundreds to brave the bitter cold and search for the missing boy.

A very SAD STORY.
No parent should have to bury their child.
Heartbreaking.

Dear God, You are the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and You, who spoke us into existence can do anything, Lord. I pray that You take good care of this poor child's soul and that he is now whole and happy in Your magnificent Presence, now and for eternity. Father, I also pray that You lay Your loving hands upon the parents of this child and give them solace. Father, every time something bad happens in Your world, You open doors that good may come of it. I trust in Your magnificent love and grace that You will also touch the hearts of those who seek You for comfort. In the name of Your Son Jesus, our Savior and King, I beg you to hear my prayers.
Amen

This is so tragic. I can only hope the elements of nature killed this poor dear child and not some freak human.
GOD SPEED DEAR LOGAN....

"This is so tragic. I can only hope the elements of nature killed this poor dear child and not some freak human."Poor little kid. It's been very bitterly cold in PA the past couple of days. If he got lost, it's very believable that he'd perish in the elements. We're further south, but it was 13 degrees yesterday morning.
