WAXAHACHIE (WBAP/KLIF) – The father of a 6-year-old boy found dead last week in Waxahachie is sharing memories about his son.
John Wiedemann calls his son Ollie “an amazing young boy who wanted to make others happy.”
Ollie and his non-custodial mother, who was a suspect in his disappearance, were found dead Friday.
“We received a 911 call that the vehicle had been sighted in a parking garage in downtown Waxahachie,” Waxahachie Police Lieutenant Marcus Brown said.
Ollie and his mother were both dead inside. The causes of death has yet to be announced. The boy’s father is now thanking Police and the community for their support. Below is John Wiedemann’s full statement:
Ollie was an amazing young boy who cared about people. He always wanted to make others happy and if ever a classmate was having a tough day, he would reach out to help them.
He loved swimming, Legos and superheroes, but most of all he loved going to school.
Our hearts are broken and may never be whole again.
We thank the Waxahachie Police Department and other first responders who helped search for Ollie. We want to thank the Ellis County District Court for seamlessly processing the paperwork that enabled the Amber Alert system to be activated. We also want to thank the Ellis County community and all others who have sent prayers and thoughts.
Nothing can be said or done that will bring Ollie back and we ask for privacy as we grieve. As there is an ongoing investigation, we ask that further requests and comments be directed to the Waxahachie Police Department.
