4-year-old boy found dead after he went missing a week ago; police charge dad's ex-girlfriend
The search for 4-year-old missing Missouri boy Darnell Gray was called off last week after Jefferson City Police Lt. David Williams announced that his body was found by a search party shortly before noon on October 30th. At the time, it was speculated that he did not die of "his own accord" and now, the woman who is the ex-girlfriend to the 4-year-old's father and was taking care of him the night of his disappearance has been charged in his death.
According to a police news release, Darnell was reported missing in the early hours of October 25, with it being believed that the boy had wandered off from his home the night before. His mother, whose name had not been made public, had made a plea to anyone with information concerning her son to come forward.
