January 4th, when the winter storms were at their peak a young boy, Timothy Gardner son of a single mother Janice Gardner, went missing. Now in the throes of spring, he's been found. The body of the young boy was found stuffed inside a covered outdoor jacuzzi in a near by neighborhood house of the Gardner family. His body showed injuries matching blunt trauma to the head and forcible manipulation of the body, leaving him still alive when the heavy tarp and mat were put back over the jacuzzi, leaving him with only enough air to beat against the sides for five minutes.
The body was found when the neighbors owning the jacuzzi decided to open it up for an upcoming party. It was reported that Mr. Dern was so overcome by the awful stench when he opened it that he fainted on the back porch. Mrs. Dern quickly called the police. There is no reason to suspect the Derns, but Janice Gardner is currently under investigation. The police psychologist suspects that the heavy storms and the burden of single motherhood brought Janice Gardner to a deep depression. One onlooker at the scene merely said, "It was an offering to God."
