Body of 16-Year-Old Found Near Boston May Have Fallen From Plane

?This may be the most bizarre sad story of the day, and there have been plenty of bizarrely sad stories to choose from. Investigators have identified a body found in Milton, Massachusetts, as that of a 16-year-old from North Carolina who they believe may have stowed away in an airplane wheel well and fell from the sky to his death.

Via the AP, Delvonte Tisdale, the boy, was wearing sneakers and a shirt that his family says matches the clothing the cops found in Milton, which is along the path the plane would have taken in the process of landing at Logan.

Anthony Tisdale, Delvonte's dad, says he last saw his son on November 14, but the next day, Delvonte didn't come home from school. The boy's body was found in Milton last week, but Tisdale says "he has no idea how his son ended up in the Boston area."

"It's a terrible tragedy what happened to this young man," said Norfolk District Attorney William Keating. "But if that was someone with a different motive, if that was a terrorist, that could be a bomb planted on there undetected."

Hear that, TSA?

Turkey Heart Found in Chalk Heart Outline

?Gothamist has what looks to us like the work of an angry, animal rights obsessed high schooler (not that we'd know) in Westchester, New York. Yes, that is the actual heart of a turkey, centered in a larger, more cartoonish chalk heart, as if it were a crime scene. It reads like a Look what you've done! on this Thanksgiving weekend, though Gothamist seems giddy and eager to include the heart-in-a-heart as part of a "recent streak of ritualistic animal killings" in the New York area. Hm!

Body Found in NY Might Be Missing Student (UPDATE: Ex-Boyfriend Charged With Murder)

?Jenni-Lyn Watson's family members will be shown a body found on Saturday in Clay, New York, to determine if it is the missing student, last seen on November 19, according to the New York Post. A search party 100-strong has been examining the area north of Syracuse hoping to find Watson, a junior at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. "If I start talking, I won't be able to finish. It's too emotional," said a relative of Watson's in Syracuse. An autopsy on the body is scheduled to begin today. [NYP]

UPDATE: The body is believed to be Watson and her ex-boyfriend, 21-year-old Steven M. Pieper, has been charged with murder. He will be arraigned on Sunday.
