LET’S GET BACK TO THE OTHER NEWS
RIGHT NOW, INVESTIGATORS SAY THE
VICTIMS IN THE OAKLAND COUNTY
CASE OF THE MOTHER AND TWO
CHILDREN ARE TOO YOUNG BOYS.
THEY WERE FOUND IN PONTIAC. THE
INVESTIGATION IS CENTERED AROUND
WOODED AREA OFF OF GILLESPIE
AVENUE AND BRENT STREET NEAR
BAGLEY. ROD MELONI, IS THERE
LIVE WITH THE LATEST AT THIS
HOUR ROD? IT’S AN EXCEPTIONALLY
SAD STORY OUT HERE IN PONTIAC.
NOW WE’RE NEAR CRYSTAL LAKE NEAR
THE PONTIAC COUNTRY CLUB, AND
THIS IS THE WOODED AREA THAT WE
BELIEVE THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
WAS. WE HAD AN EYEWITNESS SAY
THAT THEY WERE OUT HERE
YESTERDAY, AND THEY RECOVERED A
VERY SAD AGAIN SITUATION. A
MOTHER SON, PERHAPS THREE YEARS
OLD, ANOTHER SON, NINE YEARS
OLD, APPARENTLY DEAD OUT HERE.
IN THESE WOODS NEAR THE LAKE.
THEY APPARENTLY FROZE TO DEATH.
THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT ALSO
APPARENTLY RECOVERED A 12 YEAR
OLD GIRL WHO REMAINS IN THE
HOSPITAL. NOW WE HAVE VERY
SPARSE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT IT IS
THAT WE HAVE HERE, BUT ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE DO KNOW IS
THAT THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH HER
CHILDREN WALKING AROUND THIS
AREA NEAR GILLESPIE AND BRANCH
IN THE CITY OF DETROIT. MAKE
THAT THE CITY OF PONTIAC AND
THEY WERE DOOR KNOCKING AND THIS
WE KNOW BECAUSE WE SPOKE TO A
CHARLES WITHERSPOON CHARLES
LIVES IN THE HOUSE THAT IS JUST
BEFORE THE CUT OFF OF WHAT USED
TO BE THE OLD LAKESIDE HOUSING
PROJECT HERE IN THE CITY OF
PONTIAC, WHICH HAS LONG SINCE
BEEN TORN DOWN, AND NOW THE
NATURE HAS TAKEN OVER AND
EVERYTHING IS OVERGROWN. WE HAD
SKY FOUR UP EARLIER TODAY TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THINGS AND GET A
FEEL FOR WHERE THINGS ARE. BUT
LET’S HEAR FROM CHARLES
WITHERSPOON TO SEE WHAT HE HAD
TO SAY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. HE
BELIEVES IT WAS EITHER YESTERDAY
OR SATURDAY LATE SATURDAY, WHERE
THIS WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN CAME
AND SPOKE TO HIS NEIGHBOR. THERE
WAS HUNGRY. I SAY, WELL DONE.
WHAT YOU DO WITH, SHE SAID. I
DIDN’T LET THEM IN. BUT HER
BROTHER, ARTHUR, HE? SHE SAID HE
TRIED TO GIVE THE YOUNG LADY
SOME MONEY. AND SHE WOULDN’T
ACCEPT IT, SO THEY LEFT THEIR
AND THEY COME DOWN AND WALKING
WALKED UP LIKE SAID SHE THOUGHT
THEY’D COME OVER HERE, BUT THEY
WALK STRAIGHT ON UP THROUGH THE
POWER. NOW CHARLES TOLD US THAT
THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT WAS OUT
HERE AND WE HAD THE EVIDENCE OF
THAT HERE WITH THE MEDICAL
BLANKET NEXT TO THIS ABANDONED
VEHICLE, WHICH HAS BEEN CUT UP
WHETHER THAT MOTHER WAS LOOKING
TO PERHAPS SEEK SHELTER WITH HER
CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE WILL
STEER. WE’RE STILL WAITING TO
FIND OUT MANY QUESTIONS TO BE
ASKED MANY QUESTIONS TO BE
ANSWERED. SHERIFF MIKE BOUCHARD
WILL BE HOLDING A PRESS
CONFERENCE IN 2 30. WE WILL BE
THERE AND TALKING TO HIM ABOUT
THIS, AND SO WE’LL HAVE FULL
COVERAGE TO GIVE YOU THE FULL
LOAD OF WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT
PERHAPS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE IN
A SIMILAR SITUATION. WE’LL HAVE

SAME IN ANN ARBOR, 37 HOWELL 34
ADRIAN AND THOSE WINDS ARE AT
ABOUT NINE MPH COMING OUT OF THE
SOUTHEAST, BUT THEY’RE GUSTING
UP TO 20 MPH, AND THAT HAS BEEN
FACTORING INTO A LITTLE BIT OF A
WINDCHILL FOR TODAY. THROUGHOUT
YOUR AFTERNOON, THOUGH, WE WILL
TOP OUT IN THE UPPER THIRTIES
AVERAGE THIS TIME OF YEAR WOULD
BE RIGHT AROUND FREEZING, SO WE
ARE LOOKING AT MILDER CONDITIONS
