Ryan said there were no signs of an “external injury.” 3-year-old Harry Conde wore the clothes he was last seen wearing when he disappeared from his babysitter’s house in Freda Lane. “This is every parent’s worst nightmare,” Ryan said. “Everyone who had an infant trembles at the terror of the little one who is leaving.” Kkonde’s disappearance has led to mass investigations into Lowell. Investigators found Kkonde’s body in about five feet of water in a pond in the Rollie’s Farm area of Varnum Avenue, more than 24 hours after his disappearance. The farm is a short walk from Freda Lane. “I do not cry much, but it was a shock. It was a shock. “I would never have thought they would find this kid in my pond,” said Roland Perron, one of the owners of Rollie’s Farm. Divers searched the lake around 11 a.m. Tuesday, but found nothing. “I am just happy to have grandchildren. “We were both looking for this little kid yesterday and when you came back today, we really did not think he would be in this lake.” Robin Chapman, another owner of the tree farm, said. “We were sitting on the lake last night and we were saying, ‘Oh my God, let’s hope they find him tonight,’” Chapman continued. Ryan said investigators did not know where the baby boy went when he first left his babysitter’s home. A neighbor last saw the boy at 9:15 a.m. The neighbor had seen the boy outside and then noticed that he was no longer there. According to Lowell police, Conde was ignored by his babysitter around 9:30 p.m. in the Pawtucketville section of the city.
