A Cherry Hill police dog tracked one of the boy's scents near the Delaware River by Farragut Avenue but the trail went cold. Variables such as the weather could have confused the animal, authorities said.

Officers acting on a tip from an 11-year-old girl - a classmate of Anibal Cruz - began searching the woods near River and Farragut avenues around noon but found nothing.

"I just want to think that they are sleeping in an abandoned home or an abandoned car," added Jennifer Calo, Anibal Cruz's aunt, who clutched two cell phones on Thursday in hopes of receiving good news from relatives or police.

That was quite a red flag quote.

They should be able to tell if the kids were placed in the trunk AFTER their death easy enough. I imagine their fingerprints would be ALL OVER the inside of that trunk in their struggle to get out.
