Michael A. Jones: Father Accused Of Feeding 7-Year-Old Son To Pigs After Beating Him To Death, But There's More To It

But, as the morning investigation progressed, an unnamed person asked investigators to also search for the decomposed body of Jones' 7-year-old son. According to The Kansas City Star, investigators learned the boy had been missing for "an extended period of time" and immediately began searching for him.

After conducting an extensive search, local authorities made a gruesome find in the barn where Michael A. Jones lived. It has been reported that investigators found human remains. Although the remains have yet to be identified, investigators believe the remains may belong to Jones' son. Based on the decomposition of the body, law enforcement officials believe the deceased person may have died sometime between May 1 and Sept. 28. However, that's not all.

"She said she hated that child, did not want him there, wanted him gone but just didn't know how to do it," one former babysitter said. "She said it wouldn't be hard to say he went missing because they lived out where they lived which doesn't, isn't really wasn't around too many people."

According to KPTV, she did purchase livestock in September, which is why investigators assume the little boy may have eaten by the pigs after being beaten to death by his father. Michael A. Jones has been arrested and charged with charged with one count of aggravated battery, one count of aggravated assault with a firearm and one count of child abuse in connection with series of events that occurred on Nov.25.

In addition to the list of charges, Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome A. Gorman has revealed Jones has an extremely high bond set at $10 million, which is the highest appointed in Wyandotte County in the past 34 years. The seven children found inside the home have been placed in the custody of Child Protective Services. At this point, it still unclear whether Heather Jones had any involvement in the boy's death. The investigation into the little boy's death will be ongoing. If the remains are confirmed to be Michael A. Jones' missing son, he could face additional charges.
