You see it in her eyes, a grandmother's pain and anger.
"They're monsters from hell and may they burn from hell which they will!" says Sue Rodriguez.
The Edenfields lived right across the street but their dark past didn't begin there.
In May of 1997 George Edenfield was convicted on two counts of child molestation. Court documents say he was accused of rubbing his body in a sexual motion against two boys under the age of 16.
The incident occurred while the family was living on Union Street in downtown Brunswick. Court documents state the two victims lived only a few houses down from the Edenfields. The home was also right down the street from a park where children play.
In September of 2006 George was indicted for living less than 1,000 feet from the park. The family then moved from Union Street to Christopher's neighborhood. This is where he made contact with the little boy and violated probation again.
"That was a stipulation of his probation. He was not to have contact with anyone under 18 years old," says Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering.
A murder charge is now pending against all three Edenfields. Christopher's family is left with the hard truth. His grandmother wears a silver chain with an engraved picture of Christopher on the pendant. She says it is now the only way she can physically keep him close to her heart.
"I will never take it off. When I die, it will be buried with me and he will go with me. That's my baby," says Rodriguez.
According to superior court documents, George Edenfield never served prison time for the two counts of child molestation. He was given ten years probation.
Undersheriff Ron Corbet tells First Coast News, George Edenfield was in court just two days before Christopher disappeared. He was appearing for the indictment from September 2006.
