The following morning, Freund stashed his son's body in a tote bag before driving to an area near Woodstock, where he "dug a shallow grave for AJ, placed him in it, covered it with straw and left."
According to the court documents, Freund was able to take investigators to the grave on the vacant property, where they found AJ's body last month.
Prior to that, officers interviewed AJ's 4-year-old brother, who said his parents told him not to talk about the boy, and that AJ had "fallen down the stairs and has a lot of owies." He was removed from the home -- which Maldonado said had "hoarder-like conditions" -- and is currently in the care of the Illinois Department of Family Services.
