Avonte Oquendo Update: Lawyer speaks about potential found remains of N.Y. teen COLLEGE POINT, N.Y. - The attorney for the family of Avonte Oquendo gave a news conference Friday addressing reports of human remains found along the shoreline in Queens, N.Y. possibly belonging to the autistic boy who has been missing since Oct. 4, reports CBS New York. David Perecman, attorney for Avonte's family, said he spoke to the boy's mother, Vanessa Fontaine, about the new developments 2 a.m. Friday. "It's a size five-and-a-half Nike Jordan sneakers and a size 16 jeans, which are both what Avonte was wearing on the day he left, which are troubling things to hear," Perecman told reporters Friday at the scene in College Point. Perecman said police have Avonte's father's DNA on file and that the family is awaiting test results before jumping to any conclusions. "She's not going to be convinced this is her son until there is something to convince her," Perecman said. It's not Avonte until it's Avonte.
