Christopher Michael Barrios Jr.

Christopher Michael Barrios Jr.
January 2, 2001 - March 8, 2007
Christopher Michael Barrios Jr. was born on January 2, 2001. When he was six years old he was reported missing. He was last seen alive on March 8, 2007 around 6:15 p.m. playing on a swing near his grandmother's home. He was abducted by George Edenfield and George's parents, David Edenfield, and Peggy Edenfield. A family friend named Donald Dale helped kidnap Christopher, and hide his body afterwards, though he appeared to have nothing else to do with the death of the child.

Christopher was reported missing, and his body was found just a few days later. After Christopher's body was found, what happened to the little boy began surfacing too. It is believed that Christopher was lured into the Edenfield's mobile home as he was walking from the swing set back to his Grandmother's home for dinner.

Inside the mobile home, they held Christopher captive. George and David Edenfield, both registered sex offenders, took turns sodomizing Christopher. Peggy watched as her son and husband raped the six year old boy. While she watched, she masturbated. At one point during the attack, both George and David performed oral sex on Christopher. When they were done raping him, they choked him to death.

The three sickening criminals tried to hide what they had done. David and George used clothing to try and clean fluid from ejaculation off of themselves. They also used soap and water to attempt to get rid of fingerprints they left on Christopher when they strangled him. When they thought they had hid anything that might tie them to Christopher's death, they wrapped his body in trash bags. They then called their friend, Donald Dale, who helped them dispose of Christopher's body.

As stated earlier, David and George were convicted sex offenders. David had raped his daughter years before, and George had molested two little boys, aged seven and nine prior to their assault and murder of Christopher. Neither received any time in prison for their actions until Christopher's death.
