Body found by Barrie police may be teen in video-game dispute

Quote :

A teenage male's body was found on Wednesday morning by hunters, said Sgt. Dave Goodbrand of the Barrie Police Service.

Police are not yet confirming the body is Crisp's, but it was found in the Shanty Bay-area where they had been searching since Oct. 20.

The Crisp family has been informed that a body was discovered and an autopsy will be conducted to determine the identity, Goodbrand said.

Crisp's parents, who have urged the police do to more to access records on their son's Xbox and online gaming accounts to try to find the teen, were "obviously distraught" to be told a body had been found, Goodbrand said.

"At this point we believe it to be Brandon, and we're still obviously in the early stages of our investigation," he said. "It's not confirmed because nothing's confirmed until we have pathology, but we believe it to be Brandon."

The Barrie police will be co-ordinating their pathology investigation with the Ontario Provincial Police.

The teen disappeared on Oct. 13 after arguing with his parents over a favourite Xbox video game, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. They had taken the game away from him because they felt he had become obsessed with it and his many connections in the online gaming community.

Officers have been searching cornfields and the bush in the Shanty Bay-area around Barrie where Crisp was last reported seen walking on the Oro-Medonte Rail Trail with his bicycle.

Crisp was sighted twice on the day he disappeared. His bicycle was found on Oct. 20.

My heart goes out to his parents. They must feel so terrible.

I heard about that, holy crap.

I heard about that holy crap!
the weird thing is I watch the Barrie News station every morning because they have weather for my town (which is weird because Barrie is over an hour away) and the weird thing was my brothers kindergarten teacher was talking about it and how the whole town the boys from is reaching out for him. My heart goes out to his family <3
