"R.I.P. Lonzie Barton. On July 24, 2015 the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office began working the disappearance of one year old Lonzie Barton," the post reads
"At times, 425 officers/people were searching from 38 different agencies who assisted to help.
We
continued to work this case for the last 142 days non stop and today we
believe we have located the remains of Lonzie Barton in a wooded area
near Philips Hwy and 9B.
The
decisions made to find this child's body was a joint effort between JSO
and the State Attorney's Office. Our original goal was to find Lonzie,
we have done that.
This
is the first step in Justice for Lonzie. Lonzie did not need to be
discarded like a piece of trash. He will now spend eternity somewhere
that is peaceful and not in a horrific garbage heap. This case is not
over.
We
have worked with the attorney's of Ruben Ebron. Ruben Ebron was at the
search site yesterday and cooperated with us. Justice is sometimes slow
and sometimes piece by piece. Finding the body of Lonzie is a very big
piece of that. The investigative efforts goal was to take Lonzie from a
place of unknown to a place of peace. We have now done that.
The
Jacksonville community has become Lonzie's family. Thank you to the
media for the help in the beginning of this investigation. Helping us
get the information out and keeping the information in the forefront was
tremendous. A big thank you to the Jacksonville community for the
outpouring support and all of the great things you did for us during
this search. Whether it was a donation or you said a prayer, we can't
thank everyone in Jacksonville enough.
R.I.P. Lonzie Barton"
