The family of a 17-year-old boy whose dismembered body was found 10 days after his mother reported him missing last month is pleading for answers.

After Cion Carroll's remains were found in a shallow grave in Lunenburg County on Nov. 12, investigators still haven't announced a suspect or made an arrest.

"I just can't figure out why they've had no suspects, and they haven't reached out to give us an update," Cion's grandfather Junius Carter told TV station WWBT on Friday. "We need some answers."

The teen was last seen on Nov. 2 at his grandparents' house in Kenbridge, Va., reports CBS6. His family said they knew something was wrong when he didn't answer his cell phone, which he always carried with him.

His mother Tiffany Baker called Kenbridge Police to report him missing, she told NBC12, but she says they weren't responsive.

"I notified them on the second day that my son had to be in danger," Tiffany told the station. "They gave me different scenarios on what probably happened, but me as his mother, I knew that those scenarios weren't true."

Without any support, Cion's family searched for him, according to a GoFundMe site created for the family.

"The family had to conduct their own independent searches, investigations, and contact news outlets to bring awareness to everyone," it states.

Ten days later, the family's worst fears were confirmed. Cion's body was found in a shallow grave and police are investigating it as a homicide, Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller confirmed to CBS6.

"He had two gunshot wounds, one to his head and one to his back which hit his spine," the teen's mother said she learned from the Richmond County Medical Examiner's Office. "He was then dismembered, and lye was poured on him along with cement, and then he was buried."

A spokesperson from the Virginia State Police, the agency handling the investigation, tells PEOPLE the investigation remains ongoing.

"This remains an active investigation and state police [are] actively pursuing several leads at this time," spokesperson Geller stated in an email.

But the teen's mother says she has received little information about the status of the case and fears such a gruesome murder could happen again.

"It's going to happen to some other kid because they think they can get away with it," Tiffany told the station. "But I'm going to say this: We ain't going to give up, you ain't going to sweep this under the rug, so if you know something, say something. Please."

Anyone with any information about the case is urged to call the Virginia State Police at 434-352-7128 or emailing [email protected].

In my latest newsletter, which you can subscribe to at the link in my bio, I share news about the demolition of a classic @arbys that dated to the 1960s in Richmond, Virginia. But the sign appears to have been spared at least. As I write in the newsletter, "the style of this building — rolled out around 1976 — was the immediate successor to the original chuckwagon design dating to the chain’s launch in 1964. The fact that the restroom was accessible from outside, in the back of the building, was another clue that this was originally a chuckwagon-style building." Thanks to my friend and former Tribune Broadcasting colleague @scott_wise of @cbs6 for the update on the demolition and the aftermath shots. Plus, only in my newsletter, I have news on McDonald's leaving the New York State Thruway, a throwback Burger King closing in Washington D.C., and over a dozen more headlines from the retro American roadside.

Who was Austin Lee Edwards ( Ex-Virginia state trooper shot dead after kidnapping teen ) Wiki, Bio, Age, Crime, Arrest, Incident Details, Investigations and More Facts

Austin Lee Edwards Biography                          Austin Lee Edwards Wiki

A former Virginia state trooper allegedly kidnapped a California teen who was fishing online after killing her family, police say.

Authorities say Austin Lee Edwards, 28, traveled more than 2,500 miles across the country to Riverside to meet the teenager on Friday. Edwards then allegedly killed the girl's grandparents and mother, burned down their house and fled with the victim. San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies located Edwards and fatally shot him in a drive-by shooting later that day, law enforcement said. The suspect in a triple homicide who died in a shootout with police was a former Virginia State Trooper assigned to patrol Henrico County. Police believe he drove across the country to meet a teenage girl before killing her family.https://t.co/j0Qm1RySMc — WTVR CBS 6 Richmond (@CBS6) November 28, 2022 The teenage victim found with Edwards was unharmed and taken into custody by the Riverside County Department of Social Services. Edwards, of North Chesterfield, Va., met the girl online and obtained her personal information by posing as someone else in a practice commonly known as "catfishing", the Riverside Police Department said. in a press release. How long the two communicated with each other is unclear.

Incident Details

The shocking incident began to unfold just after 11am on Friday when Riverside Police received a welfare check call about a young woman who 'looked distraught' as she was riding in a red Kia Soul in the 11200 block of Price Court. When officers responded, dispatchers were alerted to smoke and a possible fire at a few houses from which police had been called for social screening. Riverside firefighters discovered three adults lying outside the entrance and took them outside, where first responders "determined they were the victims of an apparent homicide," police said. Detectives later determined that the young woman described in the first emergency call lived in the house where the three people were found dead, police said.

Victim Identified

Bodies found in the burnt-out Riverside home have been identified as the grandparents and mother of the abducted teenager: Mark Winek, 69, his wife Sharie Winek, 65, and their 38-year-old daughter Brooke Winek . Police only revealed the cause of his death on Monday, but they believe Edwards drove across the country, parked his car in a neighbor's driveway, drove to the teenager's home and killed her family before meeting the girl. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but appears to have been "deliberately started", police said. It is not known whether the grandparents and mother were killed before the fire started. Riverside authorities distributed a description of Edwards' car to law enforcement, and hours later police located the car containing Edwards and the teen in Kelso, San Bernardino County. Edwards fired and was killed by deputies who returned fire, police said. Edwards was hired by the Virginia State Police and entered the Police Academy on July 6, 2021. He graduated as a private on January 21, 2022 and was assigned to Henrico County within the agency's Richmond division until taking over on October 28. Edwards also worked for the Washington County Sheriff's Department in Virginia, California authorities said. Riverside Police Commissioner Larry Gonzalez called the case "a terrifying new reminder of online predators preying on our children." At a Saturday vigil, friends and neighbors described the Wineks as a caring, loving family with a deep commitment to their community. "You couldn't ask for a better friend than Mark," Ron Smith, Mark Winek's friend of 30 years, told Mercury News. "There will be a hole in my heart that will be hard to fill." Read the full article

#TBT This was from when we shot the Can I Get A Deal #video downtown on #FirstFriday I ended up on the #CBS6 news that night as well. This was an era of #Richmond #HipHop that a lot of you never got to experience. We had to work for every opportunity and everything felt like we were breaking the law and that the odds were against us more than ever. These are the days that made me truly believe in myself, this #music, and this city. I never would have thought that I’d have to say #RIP to my brother @thehonorablesleaze I know you’re still with us and part of the reason why we are all so successful. #RVA #WOFTD https://www.instagram.com/p/Buuc79kHF6d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lnih7nu3xmen
