Police said an inmate led them to the boy's body.
The body of an Arkansas 9-year-old boy, who had been missing since earlier in the week, has been found days after police found his mother and 2-year-old sister murdered.
Police announced that they found what they believe to be Reilly Scarbrough's body shortly after noon Saturday in a “heavily wooded area” near Hatfield.
