DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb County police have recovered the body of a 4-year-old boy who wandered away Monday.

Police officials say the boy’s family was visiting a family member who had just moved to the area when they noticed Kyuss had wandered off. After unsuccessfully searching for him for about ten minutes, they called police.
Investigators say the family was all inside the home when he disappeared.
Witnesses reported seeing Kyuss at a nearby gas station, but police say the most recent information they received was that he was near the pond, which is where they focused their efforts.
