It's been nearly three months since 7-year-old Kyzr Willis drowned while attending a day camp in South Boston and his family is still looking for answers.
"I'm living a nightmare," said emotionally distrought mother, Melissa Willis. "I wish I could wake up and see his smiling face right there with us but he’s not."
The image of her son Kyzr heading off to day camp at the Curley Community Center on a warm Tuesday morning in July is stuck in her memory.
"The last thing he said to me was, 'mommy i love you,' and I never saw him after that," Willis recalled.
Police say Kyzr was last seen near the bathhouse and accidentally drowned.
An unsigned letter from the Boston Police Department’s attorney’s office arrived to the Willis home saying it’s still “an open investigation.”
The letter has left the family confused.
