Remains Confirmed to Be Those of Missing Autistic Boy
Authorities have announced that human remains found at a Queens beach last week belong to Avonte Oquendo, a 14-year-old autistic boy who had gone missing nearly four months ago. The search for Avonte came to Crown Heights in early October, shortly after he had gone missing, but was called off after the reported sighting of him turned out to be unsubstantiated.
