LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Searchers found a child's body Wednesday near the area where a Chidester boy disappeared more than a week ago, police said.
Chief Deputy Joe Strickland of the Ouachita County Sheriff's Office told The Associated Press that searchers discovered the body around 11:45 a.m. near the home of 3-year-old Dominick Arceneaux. Strickland said searchers found the child's body in a "body of water," but he didn't know if it was White Oak Lake. Dominick mother's trailer sits at the edge of the water near a bar along the lake in southwestern Arkansas.
Strickland said the body has yet to be positively identified, but deputies have called off a Morgan Nick Amber Alert for Dominick, who disappeared Feb. 10.
"The body has not been positively identified ... but it fits the description," Strickland said.
Steve Frazier, a spokesman at the FBI's Little Rock field office, said he had no information about the recovered body.
Previously, police, National Guard troops and search dogs scoured a one-mile radius around Dominick's home without coming across anything. An extensive search of the nearby lake turned up no sign of the boy, leading an FBI agent to acknowledge investigators were "grasping at straws."
Tuesday, police stopped motorists driving on Arkansas 24 near the boy's home, handing out fliers and asking a battery of questions with hopes of finding the boy.
The boy's parents, who are separated, have largely declined to comment to reporters.
