Boy's body discovered in attic near his family's house.

The disappearance of 12-year-old Jaylen Griffin from New York has been a heartbreaking mystery for the past four years. His family and the entire community have been searching for him tirelessly, hoping for his safe return. Unfortunately, the search has taken a grim turn as Jaylen's body was found in an attic near his family's home.

It was a maintenance worker who stumbled upon Jaylen's remains in the attic of a multi-unit house, located five miles away from his home. It was a shocking discovery for everyone involved, and the news spread quickly. Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia confirmed that the young boy's body had been in the attic for a significant amount of time, adding to the already devastating circumstances. He expressed his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family and the community.

Jaylen's father, Brian Griffin, can now have some closure knowing his son's fate. However, his mother, Joann Ponzo, passed away in 2023 before she could find out what happened to her son. It's a tragedy that she died with a broken heart, not knowing the truth about her beloved child. The family has been through unimaginable grief, as they also lost Jaylen's brother, Jawaan, in 2020 when he was shot and killed in front of their home.

The discovery of Jaylen's body has left the whole neighborhood in shock and with many unanswered questions. Neighbors revealed that they had seen unfamiliar faces frequently coming in and out of the house where Jaylen's body was found, along with constant police activity. The community is struggling to understand how something like this could happen to a 12-year-old boy. Pastor Tim Newkirk, who is close to the Griffin family, shared his thoughts, saying, "The search for 'Where's Jaylen Griffin?' has come to a close. But now the search is 'What happened to Jaylen Griffin?' Who would do something like this to a 12-year-old boy?"

There are still many unanswered questions surrounding Jaylen's death, and the community is desperate for answers. How did he end up in the attic? Was he moved there? How long was he there before being discovered? These are just some of the questions that are haunting everyone. The community is known for being close-knit, and Pastor Newkirk believes that if something suspicious was happening, someone would have said something.

In an effort to uncover the truth, Crime Stoppers of WNY is offering a $7,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest of Jaylen's killer. The community is coming together to support the Griffin family, and a candlelight vigil has been organized to honor Jaylen's memory on what would have been his 16th birthday. It's a small gesture, but it shows the love and support the community has for the family and their desire to find justice for Jaylen.
