Body of missing 5-year-old boy found in California

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Homicide detectives have found the body of a missing 5-year-old boy whose father is charged with his murder, authorities announced Saturday.

Dental records and X-rays may be used because "the child was up there for the last two (months)" and an autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death, Winter said.

Andressian had taken prescription pills and was found in a car doused in gasoline in an apparent suicide attempt, sheriff's officials said.

Andressian had shaved his beard, lightened his hair and had been socializing while living out of a Las Vegas hotel for 47 days — conduct characterized as inconsistent with that of a grieving parent, sheriff's officials said.
