I understand LE has detained a sex offender who lives in the trailer park on unrelated charges. I also read that the mother of the sex offender was charged too.An item was found in the trailer that was interesting to LE but they declined to idenitfy. The SO also gave LE a hint to look near where he lives.

This does not bode well for Christopher.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A family still mourning a 6-year-old boy killed last year was shocked to see a picture of the child used in a recent soap opera on SOAPnet.

The ABC television network has apologized, calling the bizarre soap opera slip-up an indefensible error, Jacksonville station WJXT reported.

A photo of Christopher Barrios, a Georgia boy who was killed in 2007, was used as a prop in a scene of "General Hospital: Night Shift."
