Searchers, including dive teams and officers using drones, had been intensely looking for the boy since his mother’s body was discovered in their apartment earlier this week and he was nowhere to be found.

“We are sorry it has had to end this way,” Holloway said during a Friday night news conference.

The story has since gone viral on social media garnering lots of reactions from folks online. “Aw man what the fuck that’s horrible, that poor baby no words fr,” someone commented.

“The father killed the mother, after they found the mothers body in the apartment, the child was missing & now they will charge the father with 2 counts of murder. Sad story,” another person wrote.
