Special egg helps blind children join the hunt

"This really wasn't that hard to do," said Detective Sgt. Timothy R. Ketvirtis while watching 3-year-old Acer play with a beeping egg. "We put this thing together in 10 minutes."
State police were called by Acer's mother, Heather Bowman-Tomlinson of Sterling Heights. She was looking for a way for her son to enjoy Easter.
