The remains of a young child have been discovered buried in rural woodland as the father and a female companion were arrested on parental kidnapping charges.
The child, who has not been identified, was found Wednesday in a wooded area in Stookey Township, Illinois, about 16 miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. Authorities had received a tip earlier this week, Mitch McCoy, director of public affairs and information at the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, told The Independent.
