MOUNT PLEASANT, MI -

(AP) The chief of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe says a 4-year-old boy missing for a week who was found buried at his home "didn't have time to grow up."

Dennis Kequom spoke to hundreds of people gathered Thursday night in mid-Michigan at a vigil for Carnel Chamberlain. Family spokesman Kevin Chamberlain says the child's body was found earlier in the day under a wood porch or deck at the home on the reservation, 70 miles north of Lansing.

Carnel disappeared June 21 while in the care of his mother's boyfriend. Police have said the boyfriend wasn't very cooperative during the search.

Tribal police had been leading the investigation. On Thursday, they referred calls to the FBI, which declined to comment Thursday.
