The body of a 4-year-old boy was discovered in a Georgia river just five days after his father died.

“We never lost our resolve. These guys never backed up,” said Battalion Chief Bryan Watson said in a 10 a.m. news conference on Friday. “We wouldn’t quit. We gave our word to the family that we would find this kid. ... We gave the family closure.”
