The case of a missing 4-year-old is now being treated as a homicide, the Carlsbad Police Department said.
CARLSBAD, N.M. -- Fire officials said a 4-year-old boy who disappeared after falling into a hole near his Carlsbad home likely perished in the fall.
At about 9:45 a.m. Sunday, the Carlsbad Fire Department said they transitioned from a rescue operation to a recovery operation as they continued to dig into the 30-foot-deep hole they believe Samuel Jones fell into.
Carlsbad police said they believe they found Jones about 7 a.m. Sunday, after he disappeared at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Carlsbad Fire Department said they determined the conditions the boy fell into were not survivable.
Firefighters said the hole is about 14 inches in diameter and approximately 30 feet deep. Crews are preparing to dig a trench from the side of the hole and shore up the sides as they go.
Officials said they expect the operation to be a delicate and time-consuming effort.
Fire crews said a local mine rescue team were assisting in the rescue operation.
