Attorney For Brendan Creato's Grandparents: Death Investigation Is Like "The Twilight Zone"

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --  What happened to 3-year-old Brendan Creato? It's a question, family, friends, strangers and now attorneys are fighting to find out three weeks after his death.

Detectives found the little boy's body woods, half a mile from his dad's Haddon township home around 9 in the morning on october 13th. No sign of forced entry, visible trauma, and his autopsy came back inconclusive.

"It's really the twilight zone at this point," says Bill Brennan. The attorney represents Brendan's grandparents and he is furious. He says the Camden County Prosecutor's Office has left his clients in the dark.

"They deserve the common decency of being kept in the loop," Brennan tells Eyewitness News.

But Brennan insists his clients are very much *out* of the loop. He claims the Camden County Prosecutor's Office never called his clients to tell them Brendan's more in-depth toxicology report came back negative on Monday.

"We respect the fact that the prosecutors office have to do their jobs, but my god, but when the tox was negative, my phone should have been ringing off the hook. If it was positive i bet i would have heard from people," Brennan says.

Brennan says Brendan's grandparents have done nothing wrong, and simply want closure from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. Investigators haven't said much about the case, just that they continue to investigate what happened little Brendan Creato.

"The autopsy was inconclusive. The toxicology was negative. There was no signs of any abuse. That's what we know," Brennan says.
