The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said Martin owned a handgun, which has been tested. Results of that test will be published shortly.

During questioning, Martin changed his story several times.

“He stated he took the missing juvenile to Fellsmere, Florida to conduct a robbery. Martin then advised he could show us the location he dropped him off and drove around waiting for him to be done,” detectives said.

However, Martin changed his story again, stating he dropped Spencer off where his body was found in Fellsmere.

More details will be given Friday at a news conference, according to Indian River County sheriff’s spokesman Major Eric Flowers.
