I know you've seen the news reports, and like me - you were spending your home time and unemployment check money going to DC to help look for this missing child. For a few weeks we couldn't find her anywhere.
We can stop looking now. Mom threw her in the trash a while back.

WASHINGTON (7News) — “I noticed he wasn’t breathing no more, so I panicked.”
The words of 38-year-old LaDonia Boggs when asked about the disappearance of her two-month-old son Kyon Jones.
She was talking to Missing Persons Activist Henderson Long and a television crew on Sunday. Long said he’d felt compelled to go to the complex and pass out fliers of the baby after he learned of the disappearance and he said he ran into the mother and asked her if she would go on Facebook live with him.
Long said, “We were under the impression the mom is just going to talk to me and tell me: Hey can you help me find my child?”
Instead, as it went out live, Boggs talked about going to sleep with the baby on her chest, rolling over, noticing the baby wasn’t breathing.
Eventually she said she got a blanket, put the baby “in his car seat and wrapped up and took it outside and disposed of it in the trash.”
“And that’s what happened,” said Boggs.

Long said he was stunned. He turned the video over to police. DC Police Monday began a search of a Virginia landfill, south of Richmond where the trash company serving the complex may have unknowingly dumped a baby’s remains.
Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters that the mother is the only person of interest in the case. So far no arrest has been made.
When 7 News knocked on the mother’s door Monday, she declined an interview request. According to police, it was at least two days after the baby’s disappearance when it was reported.
Henderson Long, who has launched numerous search campaigns for Relisha Rudd, Unique Harris and other missing persons in DC, said he was glad the mother talked to him and the media.
“It shows she has some kind of decency in her because she could have sat there and just told us nothing,” said Long.
DC Child and Family Services acknowledged that the mother has other children. The agency would not discuss their whereabouts.
