Aveion Lewis update: boy dead, stepfather faked kidnapping, arrested (video)

Tonight investigators in Virginia are searching for the body of 2-year-old Aveion Lewis. Aveion’s stepfather, Brandon Lockett has admitted that he faked the kidnapping story and that Aveion was dead before he called 911. He remains silent, however, and refuses to tell authorities where Aveion’s body is located. What happened to Aveion Malik Lewis?

Police do not know if Aveion was murdered or if his death was an accident and there are many other questions that need to be answered. Where is Aveion? Did his mother play a role in his death? Were other people involved or did Brandon Lockett act alone or was it an accident? Aveion’s mother, Morgan Lockett has reportedly not been helpful with the investigation.

New information also states that Aveion was in a foster home until April 2009. Was he a previous victim of abuse or neglect? According to Aveion’s aunt, the couple was investigated for child neglect but charges were never filed. Reports also say that when Aveion Lewis was 15 months old, he weighed 8 pounds. It is unclear why Aveion was so underweight.

Now, investigators are racing against time to find Aveion’s body. There is an expected storm to come tomorrow that would greatly hinder the search effort.

It is also likely that law enforcement officers know more information than they have made public due to the fact that they have charged Brandon Lockett with felony child neglect. That charge indicates that Brandon told them something that indicated neglect. The investigation is being conducted as a death investigation and not a homicide.

Brandon Lockett currently faces three charges. These are felony child neglect, obstruction of justice, and improper disposal of a human body.
