Body of boy found 30 feet below in shaft Mar 4th 2012, 19:55 By msnbc.com staff New Mexico State Police via AP Samuel Jones The body of child was found some 30 feet down a narrow shaft and is likely that of a 4-year-old missing since Saturday, officials in Carlsbad, N.M., said Sunday. Fire crews were working to retrieve the lifeless body but have to be careful to keep the walls from collapsing, NBC affiliate KOB TV reported. The Carlsbad Current-Argus reported that the shaft, which is just 14 inches wide and might be from an old well, is in the backyard of a home near where Samuel Jones, 4, vanished. The retrieval could take some time, with experts having to dig a slanted tunnel to try to reach the body. An Amber Alert was issued for the boy on Saturday after he went missing from his own backyard. Foul play isn't suspected but police are treating the case as a homicide as a precaution..
