Missing 11-year-old boy discovered in river

CBS News New York reported in May that 11-year-old New York City boy Alfa Barrie was discovered in the river near 102nd Street and Riverside Drive two weeks after he went missing.

Barrie was last seen with his 13-year-old friend Garrett Warren, both of whom disappeared following a day at school. Warren's body was found in the Harlem River two days before Barrie's remains were located. Police said there were no signs of foul play.
