Goldsboro, NC -- Police think they've found the body of a kidnapped teenager, and four men are in custody, charged with murder.

Investigators said they found what they believe to be the body of 16-year-old Kennedy Fitzgerald McLaurin Jr. Saturday. The body was sent to the state medical examiner in Chapel Hill for identification.

Police also arrested and charged a fourth suspect in McLaurin's murder. All four are being held without bond in the Wayne County Jail. They are still waiting on their first court appearances.

McLaurin was kidnapped Sept. 9 by at least three men, according to police.

Investigators announced Friday that they believe McLaurin was killed, and that the crime was neither gang-related nor random.
