Found Deceased IN - Jacob Moneus, 3 months, Lafayette, 10 Aug 2024 *believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance*

Lafayette police sgt is quoted as saying that it isn't currently clear if Elisard Moneus is Jacob's father. He says that he is a suspect in Jacob's death, but the charges are for a previous DV dispute and are not related to Jacob's death.

The same article states
“But Sunday morning, the apartment was sealed and the baby's father, Elisard Moneus“

Edit…sorry, didn’t finish! Since they knew the baby to be believed to be in danger, all stops should have been activated. I know they are now saying the baby was probably dead before the Silver Alert was called, but they didn’t know that then.

It’s crazy.. They actually found him driving near Sheridan, IN. When they pulled him over & saw he didn’t have the baby with him, they arrested him & brought helicopters, firefighters & many LE were on foot looking for this baby.
