A terrified boy was found cowering Saturday behind a false wall in the linen closet of a suburban Atlanta home, four years after his Florida mother reported him missing, authorities said.

Clayton County police were responding to a call of a child being beaten in Jonesboro. Occupants of the house denied any knowledge of a 13-year-old boy. Police searched the home but found nothing, authorities said.

But then a second call came in, and officers went back to the home, this time with information about where the boy was hidden.

I swear there seems to a bit more to this story, I'm not sure what it is...

There's a lot of unanswered WTF here. Anyone that would do this sort of thing is motivated by all sorts of stuff I'll never understand, so it doesn't bother me that there's a disconnect.
