The expression on the faces of investigators painted a grim picture - one of sadness and disbelief. "There has to be some unusual reason for this to happen," said Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp.

A long desperate search for an Etowah teen ended in tragedy for everyone searching for 15-year-old Jeffrey Blake stone, since March. That search led investigators to a shallow grave off a logging road in the Littleton community, and from there they searched a home in the area. "And there at that residence, we found what's suspected to be the remains of Mr. Stone," Harp said.

The remains were found in a freezer.

Wednesday night: 19-year-old Nathaniel Wayne Lee and a 22-year-old Troy andrew Smiley are in custody, charged with murder. Detectives say the pair lived just down the road from the Stone family, where they did not work, but instead the Sheriff says they "smoked dope together" and hatched a plan to kill someone: just for the rush of killing, according to the DA. "For a 15-year-old child to be taken out of the world for two folks to have a thrill is just very disturbing to me and I think I speak for all the investigators in the Sheriff's Department as well," Harp said.

Sheriff Todd Entrekin says telling Stone's parents was one of the hardest things he's had to do, after they searched for months, night and day, for their son. "They were very devastated you know as all emotions go through, they've had a lot of people surrounding them in the community," Entrekin said.

Authorities say the two suspects are being held without bond pending a 72-hour hearing at the Etowah County Detention Facility in Gadsden.
