Wow. I can't even imagine.
Wow. I can't even imagine. What a tragedy for the teacher's family, the school, and the community. Thoughts and prayers to you all.
Creepy
Creepy to see them combing through the woods I've biked around a number of times. Kind of a neat place, and the Peabody-Newburyport rail trail is nearby. Not sure I could bike through there without thinking about this.
Eagerly awaiting more facts. Just so sad and confusing... Seriously, just... just what the hell?!
Actually, the article states
Actually, the article states that police did not confirm that the missing teen is the suspect:
"Blodgett would not confirm that Chism was the teenager who was the suspect in Ritzer’s slaying."
That is true
Maybe there is a second 14-year-old in Danvers who disappeared at the same time as him and was then found at the same time as him.
Update: Just one kid
And he's being charged as an adult.
And the DA actually has to waste their time
deciding whether or not to prosecute a murder suspect as an adult. How about prosecuting a murder suspect for who they are - a murder suspect.
