N.C. boy found dead next to pit bull
ANDERSON CREEK, N.C. -- A 3-year-old boy reported missing from his home was later found dead next to a pit bull chained in a neighbor's back yard.
Authorities would not confirm how the child died or that a dog attacked him, but Sheriff Larry Rollins said Wednesday that he had "trauma to the body."
Rollins did not identify the boy, but said he lived in the Anderson Creek community, about 15 miles north of Fayetteville, where his body was discovered late Tuesday.
The child's mother said he wandered from home around 4:30 p.m. and that she called 911 to report him missing about two hours later. A responding officer found the body shortly before 8 p.m. in the next-door neighbor's yard, authorities said.
"He was found right there in the area of the chained dog," Rollins said.
A deputy had to shoot the dog to reach the body, the sheriff said.
A second dog confined elsewhere on the property was not involved; it was being held at the county animal shelter, Rollins said.
"All the kids knew they were mean dogs back there," said Jason Walden, who lives on the same street. The victim had been playing with Walden's 6-year-old son earlier Tuesday afternoon, Walden said.
Deputies were interviewing the dog's owner, neighbors and the boy's mother. No charges had been filed Wednesday, but Rollins said a search warrant was obtained.
"We're just putting the puzzle together to find out exactly what did happen," Rollins said.
The boy's father, who was deployed in Iraq, had been contacted by Red Cross officials, and was coming home.
