DNA Tests Confirm Remains Found Were Definitely Avonte Oquendo

Late last week, body parts were found in the river 11 miles from where 14-year-old autistic teen Avonte Oquendo walked out of school and went missing back in October, and today, DNA tests confirm what most feared: they are his. An arm, torso, legs, a skull and teeth were all recovered, but thankfully, police say the remains appear to have separated via decomposition, NOT a violent act. As of now, they believe that Avonte was being chased by a dog (sadly, one of his biggest fears), tripped and fell down a steep hill that landed him in the water. His family has yet to make a statement. So truly sad, but at least they have SOME sort of closure. RIP, Avonte!
