Digging for boy's remains is stopped

Traffic was expected to be flowing today over all the freeway ramps at the Tierra Rejada Road interchange on Highway 23 in Moorpark, a day after family members and detectives gave up any hope of finding the remains of a teenage boy believed buried there 40 years ago by a serial killer.
