Just bumping because Amir and his mother stay on my mind. His son was born in the time he’s been missing. I hope both his mother and his son get to grieve him properly if he is gone, they deserve answers and justice. I really hope the police pursue a no body homicide case. I don’t see any of them turning on one another and giving up his location unless murder charges are on the table.

Local chatter is they suspect these are Amir’s remains but there has been no official statement other than these remains have been found.

I find myself still thinking of Amir and his mother often. Does anyone know how long it typically take to positively identify skeletal remains? I wonder if the ones they found during the aforementioned search were indeed human.

Good, if these are his remains, and I believe they are, they can increase the charges against the three suspects! Justice for Amir

Family confirms remains found along Highway 7 North belong to Amir Ellis

GARLAND COUNTY, Ark. — After "possible human remains" were found off Highway 7 North in Garland County, a little over a week ago, the mother of Amir Ellis, the Hot Springs man who disappeared eight months ago, and the Hot Springs Police Department have now confirmed that his body was found.

 

[StrawberryFields]

I’m so grateful that his mom was able to bring him home like she promised. I know she would have never rested until she did. Now she can begin to grieve him and see that justice is served for Amir. I can’t wait to see the new charges added and I hope in the process of trying to ask for plea deals, that they rat on all of the other individuals who may have served as accessories to his death (imo)

 

[imstilla.grandma]

His mother first confirmed the information on social media.

"God Answered," a post on her Facebook page said. "Amir is HOME! It was Amir's remains. Prayers please!"

Jessica Ellis posted earlier in the day that she had called the Crime Lab.

"Just called the State Crime Lab AGAIN, and still NO ANSWERS! ... I'm just so tired of crying, I'm just so tired of my heart hurting, I just want it to stop. I miss my son so bad," the post said in part.
