Investigators Continue Search for Missing William McQuain

Investigators Continue Search for Missing William McQuain

Police have come up empty in their search for the body of a missing 11-year-old boy whose mother was slain last week.

Capt. Paul Starks, a Montgomery County police spokesman, says officers found "nothing significant" Sunday in their search of two parks a few miles from the home where 11-year-old William McQuain lived with his mother.  He said over the weekend that investigators received some leads indicating the child might be in a park.

The search Sunday involved 80 people, mounted police and canine units.  Although police were searching for a body Sunday, they have not given up hope that William will be found alive. 

Starks says investigators continue to develop leads in the case.

His mother, 51-year-old Jane McQuain, was beaten and stabbed to death inside her Germantown home. Her body was found Wednesday night. William was last seen about two weeks ago.

McQuain's estranged husband, Curtis Lopez, has been charged in her death.  Lopez is due in North Carolina court on Monday.
