Three boys who had gone missing earlier in the week were found dead Friday in the trunk of a car parked near the yard where they were last seen.
The bodies were discovered shortly before 7 p.m. by the father of one of the boys.
A neighbor, Carmen Cilla, said she saw David Agosto open the trunk of the maroon Toyota and collapse to his knees screaming. Police rushed to the scene and immediately cordoned off the property with yellow crime scene tape, draping white sheets over the tape to shield the car from view.
Yolanda DeNeely Aguilard, an aide to Mayor Gwendolyn Faison, confirmed that the bodies had been found. She had no immediate information on how the boys died.
The boys "? Jesstin Pagan, 5; Daniel Agosto, 6; and Anibal Cruz, 11 "? had vanished from the yard next to Anibal's home on Wednesday evening. About 150 law enforcement officials, including officers on boats, in helicopters, on all-terrain vehicles and using tracking dogs, had been searching for them Friday in a three-square-mile area where the boys were last seen.
