2 Year-Old Found at Bottom of Rock Quarry

A 2-year-old Tennessee boy’s body was found at the bottom of a rock quarry nearly four hours after he went missing from a friend’s house.

The quarry where the child was found is about three-quarters of a mile from the residence where he was reported missing. Police say he would have had to travel through dense woods to reach the site.

A dilapidated barbed wire fence, falling apart and missing strands, is all that stands at the quarry’s edge.
