“Delray Beach police divers renew search for clues identifying kids' bodies found in canal - News-Press” plus 1 more |
| Posted: DELRAY BEACH — Divers from the Boca Raton Police Department joined Delray Beach police and fire-rescue this morning in a renewed search of a canal for any additional clues that might lead them to the identities of two kids' bodies found stuffed in luggage in the brackish water. The divers are preparing to go into the waters of the C-15 canal near Congress Avenue, and plan to push their search as far west as Military Trail today, according to police department officials. The Boca Raton Police Dive Unit has lent Delray a remote-controlled submarine, and the use a side scan sonar machine to be used underwater by the divers, the officials said. Since around 9 a.m., police have been out trolling in boats. Delray police spokeswoman Nicole Guerriero said they are not searching for another body, but for evidence in the case of the kids found Wednesday. "We have no reason to believe that there are more bodies in the water," she said. After Wednesday's horrific discoveries, at 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., detectives are attempting to learn how the children - both of whom are African-American - died, and to track down who dropped them in the water. The girl had been shoved into a black duffel bag. The boy was folded into a suitcase. Both had been placed in the long, wide C-15 canal that divides Boca Raton and Delray and stayed there until Wednesday, when a passerby spotted a strange little buoy bobbing near the city's south side. Police divers went into the water twice, 61/2 hours apart, and emerged cradling little bodies, children who had died and were cast off like old shoes, investigators said. The bags were found about a half-mile apart in the canal near Avocet Road and Carl Bolter Drive. The canal stretches between U.S. 441 and the Intracoastal Waterway and flows under almost every major north-south road in Palm Beach County. The water flows east or west, depending on the tides. "We're taking this personal," Guerriero said this morning. "We want to know who these kids were; and who could have done this to them." (Page 2 of 2) She said police are still waiting on cause of death from the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office. Meanwhile, the department has "received countless tips and phone calls from neighbors who see suspicious items or people," she said. Here's what detectives know: They found the girl about 9 a.m. Wednesday. They said she appeared to be between 6 and 10 years old. She was dressed in short sleeves, dark pants and blue Polo sneakers. Her hair was arranged in beaded braids. They found the boy about 3:30 p.m. in a soft, black suitcase, a half-mile west of where the girl was discovered. He appeared to be between 10 and 12 years old. He wore dark blue or black pants but no shirt. Neither child showed obvious injury. Neither carried any immediate clues to his or her identity. Detectives were investigating the deaths as homicides, and they believe, for obvious reasons, that the killings were related, Guerriero said. "We're devastated. Someone is missing these children," Guerriero said Wednesday. "Someone knows these children, and we need to know who these kids are." No children fitting their description had been reported missing in the area. Detectives had no immediate way of telling how long they had been in the canal. The bodies "had been affected" by the water but were intact, Guerriero said. As forensic investigators scoured the bodies for clues Wednesday night, detectives were working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and reaching out to the state Department of Children and Families for help. And residents of the neat, middle-class neighborhood were reacting to the news with a collective shudder. Juanita Brodeur, who lives near the canal with her four children, ages 8 to 19, said the discovery unsettled her family. "This is scary," she said. "My kids were like, 'Can we sleep in your room tonight, Mom?'" Anyone with information about the children can call Delray Beach Detective Peter Sosa at (561) 243-7828 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS (8477).

| 'Take Me Home Tonight' Stars Teach The Kids About The '80s - Musicwire Posted: MTV News caught up with the cast, we asked them to explain to the younger generations what the '80s were all about — check out the embedded video to really get a feel for their trip down memory lane. "It's like 'Glee,' " Faris said with a laugh. "Is it like 'Glee'?" Fogler questioned his co-star. "I don't know," she said, second-guessing herself. "How would you describe that decade to them?" Fogler followed up, taking over the interviewer job. "It was a time when the music was so influential and the style, it was so specific to the '80s," Faris explained. "You know, the big bangs and the shoulder pads and the jelly shoes." "It's in your face!" Fogler interjected. "No one really apologized for what they were wearing or doing." Faris agreed: "Yeah, women wore a lot of super high-waisted bikinis — which men, I think, still kind of like." "They do, because you saw more of the pelvis than you normally would," Fogler explained, adding that the trend should make a comeback. Grace and Palmer took a different track in describing the '80s. Grace chose to call out several famous music videos from our MTV archives in order to "describe" what was happening during the decade. "Let's play a couple of [music videos] right now," Grace instructed, proceeding to name his favorite '80s artists and their hit songs. "Duran Duran, 'Girls on Film' — go! OK, 'Hungry Like the Wolf,' go to that video," he said. "That is the opening-credit scene [for 'Take Me Home Tonight']. OK, now we are back. Now, do 'Video Killed the Radio Star,' " he said. "The first video ever played on MTV. This video was going on when I was watching MTV." "He's good!" Palmer added, not able to comment properly on the happenings back in the day, since she was born in 1986. What are your favorite '80s videos or trends? Tell us in the comments!
