6-Year-Old Abducted In Ga.

The Glynn County Police Dept and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued a Levi's Call -- Georgia's version of an Amber Alert -- on Monday afternoon, March 12, 2007 for Christopher Michael Barrios Jr.  Christopher is a 6-year-old African-American and Hispanic male, 3'6" tall, 65 lbs, brown eyes, short black hair and silver caps on upper and lower teeth.

Police searched the mobile home of registered sex offender George Edenfield Monday night, March 12th, working off a tip from Edenfield's family that the boy was inside the trailer.  But Christopher was not found.  Police say Edenfield was in jail on a violation of probation charge, where he'd been since the day after Christopher disappeared.

Christopher was last seen wearing a blue or green long sleeved shirt with a white t-shirt underneath and long black pants. He was last seen on Horseshoe Lane in Brunswick, Ga. on Thursday, March 8th, 2007 at 6:15 p.m.

Police Find The Body Of Missing 6-Year-Old

Glynn County Authorities have found the body of 6-year-old Christopher Barrios, Jr., who had been missing since March 8, 2007.

Police already had Christopher's neighbor, George Edenfield -- a convicted sex offender -- in custody on parole violations.

Now George and his parents, David and Peggy Edenfield, have been charged with murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, enticing a child for indecent purposes, false imprisonment and child molestation.

They've all also been charged, along with family friend Donald Dale, with concealing the death of a person and tampering with evidence.

A Sick Family Story
Prosecutors say George's father David is also a convicted sex offender, and that father and son each sexually abused Christopher before strangling the little boy.

A court affidavit shows Peggy Edenfield watched while the men committed these heinous acts.

Court records also show the entire family, along with Donald Dale, conspired to hide Christopher's clothes and body.

David Edenfield was convicted on Monday, Oct. 5, 2009.

On Oct. 6, jurors deliberated for only two hours before unanimously deciding that Edenfield should get a death sentence for his crimes.

He was the first of three people charged in the case to stand trial.
