For more than a year, Suzanne Jinerson has agonized about the sad boy who lived next door to her on Walters Lake in Clarkston, Michigan.

His name was Ethan Crumbley.

He was about 6 when she met him, an aloof boy who rarely left the house or played with the neighborhood kids, Jinerson recalled. She never saw him laugh or smile, except for the one time she snapped a photo of him fishing with her son and another boy, she said. Sometimes, he would wander over to her house because his parents had left him home alone, she said, and he was afraid to be by himself.
