SEATTLE (AP) — Another day of searching has yielded no news in the hunt for a missing Washington mother. Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said Friday afternoon that a search plane was sent up to look for Shantina Smiley in the general area where her 8-year-old son's body was found on Thursday.
The Pierce County medical examiner's office says Azriel Carver drowned and his death was an accident.
The boy's body was found on a Fox Island beach southwest of Tacoma. He and his mother were last seen on Saturday, and her minivan was found partially submerged on a remote south Puget Sound beach the next day.
