SIX LAKES, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – The worst fears of a “Missing Endangered Child” in Montcalm County were realized on Thursday afternoon.
Beau Brennan Belson was last seen around 2:30 PM on Wednesday outside of his family’s residence west of Edmore, playing with other family members. A lengthy search into the evening hours for the five-year-old boy, described as autistic but able to communicate, ensued without success, and authorities had to turn down numerous volunteer requests to assist in the effort, saying that the volunteers were hampering rather than helping the search.
Just before 1 PM on Thursday, searchers found the body of the child in a body of water near the residence. An investigation into the circumstances of this incident is ongoing.
