SAN ANTONIO (AP) - San Antonio police say an 8-month-old boy, who was reported as abducted, has been found dead.
The father of missing baby King Jay Davila led investigators to the child's body, in a backpack, buried under a bridge on Friday morning.
Three members of his family have been charged in the case.
Police Chief William McManus says the father, grandmother and cousin of King Jay Davila have been charged in the case of the missing baby. All are in custody on evidence tampering charges.
At a Thursday night news conference, McManus said Christopher Davila is believed to have injured the child severely, then told police the boy was in a car that was stolen.
McManus says Beatrice Sampayo, the child's grandmother, is suspected of disposing of the child's car seat and dropping off Angie Torres, the child's cousin, who was seen on surveillance video as participating in a staged kidnapping.
