There is a crime scene unit being deployed there now, Starks said.
The body was reported to have been found by Todd Combs, Christopher’s stepfather.
While it seems highly unlikely that the currents were fast enough to transport the body, police officers are still circling the air and trying to determine the speed of the currents.

Whoa, the body was found by the stepfather? I thought that LE was preventing the family and any other volunteers from searching? How the hell did the stepfather find Chris [if the body is Chris'].
So stepdad gives Chris and other kids alcohol, Chris disappears to go swimming and his body is found by stepdad a day and a half later? I will withhold judgement until LE confirms that the body is Chris, but something is starting to smell really bad.
