The body of Brandon Crisp, the 15-year-old Barrie boy who fought with his parents over video games, has been found.
Police said early this afternoon that hunters found the body near the Fourth Line in Oro-Medonte Township northeast of Barrie.
The teen was last seen Oct. 13 after he ran away from home when his parents took away his Xbox console because of what they said was his addiction to the online game “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Sgt. Dave Goodbrand of Barrie Police said this afternoon that police have to work with the OPP and medical examiners before they can officially confirm that the body found is Brandon's.
However, students at Brandon's school, St. Joseph's High School in Barrie, were told the sad news at a special assembly this afternoon.
Many were in tears as they left the school.
Goodbrand also said that Brandon's parents had been notified. “They’re obviously distraught by the information,” he said.
Police had said that a woman saw Brandon on two occasions along a trail several kilometres from his home on the night he disappeared, and she noted the boy appeared to be having trouble with his bicycle.
His abandoned mountain bike was found in the area Oct. 20.
As the weather grew colder and snow began falling, police began a massive aerial, marine and ground search effort in the Shanty Bay area — about four kilometres from Brandon's home — near where the body was found today.
Hundreds of volunteers also aided in the search, but no trace of the boy was found at the time.
Police had received more than 1,000 tips, but failed to find any meaningful clues to the boy's whereabouts.
Two local media companies, including the Barrie Advance, where the boy’s mother works, had put up $20,000 in reward money for information to help locate the teen. Software giant Microsoft, which manufactures the Xbox, later increased that amount to $50,000.
Brandon's disappearance prompted a huge outpouring of support from across the country.
A Facebook group with nearly 22,000 members was created, and within a half-hour of the news of the discovery of the body, there were already 100 messages of condolence.
Early this afternoon, on the east side of Oro-Medonte Line 4, an OPP helicopter made low, tight circles over a cornfield. It is an area believed to have been canvassed extensively during various search efforts.
Forensic officers set up a command post at a farmhouse, which backs onto the cornfield.
Police offices on four-wheelers were canvassing the surrounding woods and fields.
