Remains of missing 5-year-old boy found

MASSACHUSETTS- The remains of a missing 5-year-old boy were discovered on Saturday after he was reported missing a month ago.

The body of Elijah Lewis was located in Abington, police told WCVB.

Sources told the news outlet that the discovery was made after investigators found a cell phone that was connected to the case in a pond.

Elijah’s mother, Danielle Denise Dauphinais, 35, and her boyfriend Joseph Stapf, 30, were arrested in connection to the boy’s disappearance by New York City transit police.

Both were charged with witness tampering and child endangerment for allegedly telling others to lie about her son’s whereabouts.
