BRUNSWICK, Ga. (Crime Library) — As Christopher Barrios's family struggled to make final preparations to lay the body of the 6-year-old to rest, authorities released chilling details about how he died.
The just-released 13-count indictment against Christopher's accused killers, George Edenfield, his parents David and Peggy Edenfield; and family friend Donald Dale, who is charged only with helping conceal the kidnapping and murder, paints the most gruesome picture yet of the brutal death of little Christopher Barrios.

According to the indictment, the Edenfields lured Christopher into their mobile home on March 8 as the boy was walking from a neighborhood swing set to his grandmother's house for supper. Inside their trailer, the Edenfields held the little boy captive while George and David, both convicted sex offenders, took turns sodomizing him.

Sometime during the attack, both George, 32, and his father, David, 58, performed oral sex on the boy.
The two men then choked Christopher to death.
Afterward, according to a statement Peggy Edenfield gave to the police, George and David used clothing to wipe semen off of themselves.
Then, either Peggy or George used soap and water to try to clean off any fingerprints left on Christopher's neck from the strangulation. They then wrapped the boy's body in plastic trash bags.
The Edenfields then called family friend Donald Dale, 34, who helped them dump Christopher's body near the Glynn County airport.

Two game wardens, part of a small army of hundreds of law enforcement officers, National Guard troops, and volunteers who spent a week searching for Christopher, found the boy's body a week later less then three miles from his home.

The two game wardens, both on ATVs, spotted tire tracks leading off of a road near the airport. They dismounted their ATVs and followed the tracks on foot. About 15 feet from the road, the two lawmen came across a black plastic trash bag buzzing with flies.
After a week of anxious searching, they had finally found Christopher.
