UNTIL NOW HAD BEEN UNDERWATER. THEY NEVER MET JAMES HUTCHINSON OR NYLA LATIMORE, BUT THESE VOLUNTEERS FELT THE NEED TO HELP FIND THOSE TWO BOYS. IT JUST FELT LIKE THE THING TO DO. I’M A MOM AND SITTING AT HOME. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO. SO I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT HERE AND HELP SEARCH. IT’S THE THING TO DO. I MEAN, IT’S I’M RETIRED. I CAN’T SIT AT HOME AND WATCH IT. SO THAT’S WHY I’M HERE TODAY DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS JOINED NORTH SEARCH AND RECOVERY AND OHIO LANDSAR TO BEGIN SEARCHING 86 ACRES IN LAWRENCEBURG SOME BY FOOT OTHERS BY HORSE. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MAIN AREAS THAT WE WANTED TO GET TO AND WE ABSOLUTELY WE COULD NOT GET TO IT. WE COULDN’T EVEN GET THE WATER CADAVER DOGS IN THERE UP UNTIL RECENTLY IT HAD BEEN UNDERWATER. IT’S AN AREA CALLED THE OXBOW, WHICH IS A BROAD FLOODPLAIN NEAR THE CARROLL CROPPER BRIDGE. THAT’S THE BRIDGE WHERE MIDDLETOWN POLICE SAY SIX YEAR OLD JAMES WAS THROWN INTO THE OHIO RIVER BY HIS MOTHER BRITT. BOSNI AND HER BOYFRIEND JAMES HAMILTON IN FEBRUARY INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY TIED A CONCRETE BLOCK TO HIS BODY BEFORE THEY THROW HIM IN INVESTIGATORS IN HAMILTON COUNTY. SAY THREE YEAR OLD NYLO WAS TOSSED IN ABOUT 17 MILES UP RIVER BY HIS MOTHER’S BOYFRIEND DESHAWN BROWN IN DECEMBER. WE’RE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL WE SUCCEEDED OUR MISSION AND IT’S TO BRING THOSE BOYS HOME. AND IN ADDITION TO LOOKING FOR BOTH JAMES AND NYLO CREWS ARE REALLY SEARCHING FOR ANYTHING OF INTEREST AND KIND OF LITTLE BOYS CLOTHING SHOES SOCKS ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BELONG TO EITHER CHILD REPORTING LIVE IN LA
