VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. – The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have located a body near the Santa Clara Riverbed by McGrath State Beach in Oxnard.
According to a statement by the LAPD, 13-year-old Omar Hernandez was reported missing by his family on Sunday, March 30th after failing to returning home from visiting a friend in Lancaster, CA.
On Tuesday, the investigation of the boy's disappearance was taken over by LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division, and undisclosed information led them to an area of interest in the city of Oxnard.
