White, 4, is shown. Nearly five months after they dissappeared, a volunteer
search team found the bodies of two young brothers encased in ice on the Red
Lake Indian Reservation Sunday, April 1, 2007 authorities said. Tristan
Anthony White, 4, and Avery Lee Stately, 2, had been missing since Nov. 22.
The two boys, both American Indian, disappeared while playing outside their
home on the Red Lake Indian Reservation near the Canadian border.
MINNEAPOLIS --Two years after a teenage gunman went on a rampage at the Red
Lake Indian Reservation, the community is grieving once again.
The bodies of two young brothers missing since November were found encased
in ice Sunday about a half-mile from where they lived. Authorities have not
determined whether foul play was involved.
Tristan Anthony White, 4, and Avery Lee Stately, 2, were found by a
volunteer search in First Thunders Lake. Police dogs picked up their scent,
FBI Special Agent Ralph Boelter said.
"Today our worst fears were confirmed," Boelter said.
The brothers had been missing since Nov. 22.
The two boys, both American Indian, disappeared while playing outside their
home at the remote reservation near the Canadian border.
The reservation was also where 16-year-old Jeff Weise killed his grandfather
and grandfather's girlfriend on the reservation on March 21, 2005, then went
to the high school and killed seven more people, including a teacher and a
security guard, before killing himself.
After the two boys went missing, First Thunders Lake was searched by divers
and hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officers scoured the area.
The initial ground search was called off five days later, and Boelter said
rescuers resumed on Sunday in hopes the warmer weather would help the
search.
One theory is that the boys wandered from their home about a quarter-mile to
the southern edge of the lake, then walked across the partially frozen water
before falling through the ice, Boelter said.
Alicia White, the mother of the boys, and Jeff Stately, the father of Avery,
both said in the past they believed someone abducted the children.
Authorities plan to conduct an autopsy on the boys in the coming days, which
Boelter said could help them determine exactly what happened.
"I'm grateful that we found the bodies. Obviously it's very tragic for the
families involved as well as the Red Lake Community," Boelter said.

"Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl
of a wolf." ---Aldo Leopold 1949
"The heart and mind sometimes lead us to different places, but that doesnt
mean they are all good or all bad." Wolfy 2005
"The wolf, now an endangered species, has become a symbol of all that is
right and in harmony with nature. It is modern man who in his ignorance has
been wrong and out of step with nature. Not the wolf." Michael W. Fox, The
Wolf (1989 )
"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with
the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little
more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death
song, and die like a hero going home." Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725
"There is no death, only a change of worlds." Duwamish
"Didn't the farmers around Gorky tell you that it is the wolf you do not see
that you must fear? -Marko Alexandrovich Ramius"
"If you talk to the animals, they will know you and you will know each
other... If you do not talk to them you will not know them... What you do
not know you fear. What one fears they DESTROY... "
To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see into your own soul-hope you like
what you see. -Aldo Leopold
"...for the strength of the Pack is the Wolf and the strength of the Wolf is
the Pack..." Rudyard Kipling
"If you don't want the truth, dont ask.. go make up your own like everyone
else" Eddie Wilson
"A lot of things will catch your eye, but only a few will catch you
heart...pursue them, for they may not be around to pursue very long"
"Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance
like you do when nobody's watching."
"there are 3 kinds of men. Those who listen, those who learn by
observation... and those that just have to pee on the electric fence and
find out themselves. "
