Divers looking for Colorado boy, 6, find body in frozen pond
AURORA, Colo. — Divers looking for a 6-year-old boy who apparently wandered away from his suburban Denver home on New Year’s Eve found the body of a child in a frozen pond Tuesday.
The body has not been identified yet, but authorities notified David Puckett’s family because they suspect it is that of the boy, Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz said.
Bloodhounds looking for David didn’t get good results, but a dog that can track scents in the air pointed authorities to the pond in a park Monday just a few minutes’ walk from the boy’s home, Metz said.
The area had been searched extensively, but not the water because there was no sign of a break in the ice, the chief said.
