Body of missing autistic teen found after 3-day search
April 27, 2021 GMT
PAULDING, Mich. (AP) A three-day search for a 17-year-old boy missing in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula ended with the discovery of the teen’s body, authorities said Monday.
The Ontonagon County Sheriff’s Office didn’t immediately reveal the circumstances of Cam Besonen’s death. Nor did they say where and who found the body. The search for Cam was centered near Paulding.
Cam, whose family said was autistic and non-verbal, was last seen Friday. He was wearing a long-sleeve shirt and jeans, clothes that don’t offer much protection in cold weather. Jill Keeley-Besonen said her son had no sense of direction or how to yell for help.
After a long, intense weekend in which several law enforcement agencies and hundreds of volunteers battled snow and freezing rain to comb acres of dense forest, the body of the missing teen was found.
It was a heartbreaking end to a search in which so many in Michigan had held out for hope for Cam Besonen, a 17-year-old boy who had autism and as a result was unable to call for help. Cam s body was found about an hour ago, his mother, Jill Keeley-Besonen, posted to Facebook Monday evening. Thank you to all who participated in the search. He is with Jesus!
