The body of Johnathan Boley was found in a wooded area near his father’s Alabama home on Jan. 2, 2025. Court records did not specify the amount of methamphetamine that was found on the property or whether the children tested positive. Court records show that Boley was appointed a public defender and has formally requested preliminary hearings in both felony cases. A district judge granted those requests, and the hearings are scheduled for Jan. 20 at the Walker County Courthouse Annex, records show. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Walker County District Attorney’s Office, the Walker County Sheriff’s Office, the Jasper Police Department, and the FBI’s Birmingham Field Office for comment.
