131 Days on... 24•April•10

"Newburgh has put a lot of young men in coffins lately. But no little boys. Not until now."
...Marc Anthony Bookal was laid to rest Saturday, 131 days after he disappeared from his mother's home on Benkard Avenue. His body was found inside a bookbag last month, and an autopsy revealed Marc's death was a homicide. Police have not arrested any suspects in connection with the killing...
