Police are investigating the allegations against Juan De La Cruz, 32, as part of a widespread probe into the boy's disappearance nearly two weeks ago, sources familiar with the investigation confirmed yesterday.

He has been interviewed op several occasions by authorities but is not considered a suspect at this time, officials said. Repeated attempts yesterday to reach De La Cruz, who arrived here last week from Miami, were unsuccessful.

inmate tells story of abuse, death ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.H. When June Briand lectures about domestic violence at schools and college campuses across New Hampshire, she tells students that abusive relationships don't have to end the way hers i did, with a funeral and a mur- der conviction. Briand, 33, is serving a 15- year to life sentence for shooting her husband James four times in the head while he slept on Feb. 12, 1987. Briand said she acted in self-defense after beiner beaten and sexual- ly abused throughout her six- year marriage.

The lectures are part of her state-supervised rehabilitation. "I am the result of what happens when you don't know how to get help," she said Tuesday from the state wom- en's prison in Goffstown. "My -r situation is very scary, and I think it really gets the message through to them." Briand believes the counseling and education she has received duriner nearly 10 1 years in prison has led to her rehabilitation. She hopes Gov. Stephen E.

Merrill and the Executive Council will decide this month to schedule a par-h don hearing so she can plead her case for forgiveness and freedom. "I'm asking for the chance to take another look at it 10 years later, after we've all had a lot of education about domestic abuse," Briand said. "I'm asking them to take another look at June Briand and who she is 10 years later." 1i Kt? mi laiKit K.e h.m.i Is yyyy 33S3SL ''iMit 4 j- zf.
