New Jersey mom allegedly said her missing 17-year-old wasn’t at home. Then police found out what she was hiding in her basement

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.
