Investigators and volunteers were forced to stop searching for Aveion’s body today due to inclement weather in Roanoke, Virginia.  Investigators have charged Aveion’s step-father, Brandon Lockett, with improper disposal of a human body, obstruction of justice, and felony child neglect.  Police canceled an Amber Alert after they say Lockett admitted the child was dead before the alleged abduction on January 14, 2009.   Authorities say they came to this conclusion because of conflicting statements given, and as time went on investigators were advised an abduction did not occur.  Sadly, at this time, police do not know where Aveion’s body could be, but they have expanded the ground search to find the toddler. According to a police press release, “the department has investigated the reported abduction and received varying degrees of cooperation from key persons in the investigation; which lead police to question the validity of information received from some individuals.  As a result, investigators began to focus on the possibility that Brandon Lockett, Aveion’s step-father was not providing accurate details.”
