the burned body is 3 feet tall. Jonathan is 4'8". burning could account for some shrinking of corpse.
Houston police say the search continues for a missing 12-year-old boy last seen on Christmas Eve as officials work to identify a small child whose badly burned body was discovered early this morning in northeast Houston.
HPD investigator Leslie Martinez said the child was about 3 feet tall. Police believe the body was burned elsewhere and dumped there. The body was found at the end of a shallow ditch along the roadway between two large buildings. There were no signs of fire around the ditch.
Officials say the body was so badly burned they can’t determine the child’s gender.
