Missing Illinois Boys And Father Found Dead
Illinois State police canceled the AMBER Alert for Duncan Connolly, 9, and his brother Jack Connolly, 7, on Monday, March 30, 2009 after the boys' bodies were found around 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Cops say a car was found in a remote area of Putnam County. The boys' bodies were found in the back seat, and their father, Michael Connolly, 40, was found dead about 60 feet away.
The AMBER Alert had been issued on March 10, 2009 after the boys were last seen with their father on March 8. Connolly was supposed to bring the boys home to their mother, but never showed.
