Wylie volunteers fan out with image in quest to ID dead boy
Wylie police pressed a platoon of volunteers into duty Saturday to canvass neighborhoods, churches and shopping centers so people throughout the community could see the doleful face of an unidentified boy whose body was found near a dingy pond south of Lavon Lake last week.
Volunteers from the Wylie Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and the Collin County Citizens' Sheriff's Academy Alumni Association carried with them a sketch of the boy, who authorities believe was about 6 years old.
Earlier, they had thought he was about 3 because he weighed just 28 pounds.
He showed signs of having used a feeding tube, and Wylie police Detective Venece Perepiczka said he probably had "significant medical needs."
Police said the boy's body showed no obvious injuries. Results of an autopsy that could determine how he died were pending.

Cases like that of boy found in Wylie confound authorities
The case of the unidentified little boy whose body was found a week ago in Wylie is unusual but hardly unique.
There's the preschool-age boy whose body was found in a laundry bag just outside Chicago in 2005. From 2002 is the case of a newborn boy found dead in front of a repair shop in Weld County, Colo. And still unidentified after more than 45 years is a toddler whose body was fished out of a reservoir in the mountains near Ashland, Ore., in 1963.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website lists 142 cases of unidentified children, some of them found alive as infants but many dead and still nameless.

Police have said the actions of his maternal grandmother, Darlene Phillips, led to Gerren's death, but they declined to elaborate. Phillips, 63, is being held on $500,000 bail.
"Little Gerren was not taken care of well, and it ended up to his murder," Wylie Detective Venece Perepiczka said in announcing the arrest late Friday.
The investigation is ongoing, she said, as the task force that has been working nonstop since Gerren was found tries to determine what happened.

Man blames caretaker stress, says wife hoped grandson would get help in park
The woman who cared for "Wylie's Angel" told her husband from jail Sunday that she left 6-year-old Gerren Joseph Isgrigg in the park hoping that somebody would pick him up.
Nobody did.
And the boy – who was physically disabled, had seizures daily and was fed through a tube in his stomach – was found dead.
The caretaker, Darlene Phillips, the boy's 63-year-old grandmother, is charged with murder in his death. She was taken into custody late Friday, eight days after Gerren's body was found near Lavon Lake.
Phillips' husband of 30 years, Patrick, said that his wife cried and expressed regret during the 25 minutes he spent with her Sunday morning at the Collin County Jail. He said that stress from around-the-clock care for the boy was probably too much for his wife to take.
"From our conversation today, she knows it was a big mistake," Patrick Phillips said. "She never planned on this to happen.
"She thought somebody would come along right away and he would be taken care of," he said. "Stress does terrible things."
The boy's father, Jerry Isgrigg, finds the story unbelievable.

Man blames caretaker stress, says wife hoped grandson would get help in park
The woman who cared for "Wylie's Angel" told her husband from jail Sunday that she left 6-year-old Gerren Joseph Isgrigg in the park hoping that somebody would pick him up.
Nobody did.
And the boy – who was physically disabled, had seizures daily and was fed through a tube in his stomach – was found dead.
The caretaker, Darlene Phillips, the boy's 63-year-old grandmother, is charged with murder in his death. She was taken into custody late Friday, eight days after Gerren's body was found near Lavon Lake.
Phillips' husband of 30 years, Patrick, said that his wife cried and expressed regret during the 25 minutes he spent with her Sunday morning at the Collin County Jail. He said that stress from around-the-clock care for the boy was probably too much for his wife to take.
"From our conversation today, she knows it was a big mistake," Patrick Phillips said. "She never planned on this to happen.
"She thought somebody would come along right away and he would be taken care of," he said. "Stress does terrible things."
The boy's father, Jerry Isgrigg, finds the story unbelievable.
