What began as an urgent, multi-day missing persons investigation involving a 17-year-old boy in East Brunswick, New Jersey, ended with the arrest of his mother. Police eventually discovered the teenager safe and uninjured, hiding inside a tight crawl space in the basement of his mother’s suburban home.
According to the New York Post, the East Brunswick Police Department confirmed that Jennifer Buckley was arrested and charged with obstructing the administration of law. The charge follows allegations that she misled police, gave investigators false information about her son’s mental health and helped prevent them from finding him during an extensive search.
