The groups had been searching since Monday evening for the 16-year-old with autism after he disappeared from a church camp on Jekyll Island. Authorities said he has Autism Spectrum Disorder and was considered “high-functioning.” “It is with regret that the 16 year old missing juvenile, Connor Mathis from Brunswick, Georgia, has been located deceased in the surf on Jekyll Island this morning,” the Camden County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “The Camden County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol, along with The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, numerous law enforcement and Fire/Rescue Agencies, along with hundreds of volunteers conducted the search for the missing teenager.
His peers said he told them he wanted to go to the beach, so the search was heavily focused on the beach area and the dunes.Copyright 2023 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
