Rennie was last seen Saturday night.
"My step father took him for a ride, dropped him off at the hill and that's the last we saw of him," said Mattox.
Flowers have been brought to the site where Rennie's body was found early Sunday morning beneath a bridge, which is no more than a mile away from where he was living.

A family so clearly in shock, grieving the loss and longing for answers.
