Maine Boy Found Dead: Identified - Mother Confesses To Murder
Concord MA:
Police in Massachusetts have released the identity of a small boy found in the woods in South Berwick, Maine. 
Camden Hughes Pierce was found on the side of a road by a man local to the area. He happened to look over, where he saw a small boy lying on the ground.
Police from across the region had little to go on, citing the possibility of a dark-colored truck being seen leaving the area shortly before the boy was found.
Law enforcement officials worked tirelessly, with just the small lead at their disposal. An alert trooper discovered a truck matching the description at a hotel in Chelmsford, MA. Officials then moved in to find the owner.
Julianne McCrery, the mother of Camden Hughes Pierce, was found at the hotel, reportedly reading the Bible. After making statements about her son Camden, she was then brought to the Concord, Massachusetts State Police barracks where she confessed to the killing of her six year old son. Details are soon to be released.
McCrery also has a 23 year old son in the Navy. A description of the truck included a Navy sticker, fueling speculation that the killer may be a serviceman. That very sticker is what helped the alert trooper key in on the truck
Julianne McCrery's mother says that she had spoken with her daughter all week long by phone. She (mother) stated "Julie" said that she and Camden had been sick all week and wished she could go and visit. Julianne and her mother spoke yesterday morning and talked about idle "chit-chat", but then stated that it was "funny" that Julie texted her early yesterday evening stating that she wished she could come to dinner. Julianne's mother offered to buy them dinner, but only received a text reply, simply, "Thank-you".
A call placed to Julianne's boyfriend by WBZ-TV managing editor, Pete Wilson, detailed a smart boy, ahead of the rest. Though he (Julianne's boyfriend) was not the child's biological father, he stated he was the only father he knew. He said he was happy the boy was in Heaven.
Further details will be released later today.
