The search for 6-year-old Duke Flores led investigators to the Victorville City landfill early Monday morning, where they believe his body will be found.

Shortly before 8:00 am, on Monday, April 28, 2019, the Bernardino County Sheriffs Department along with Search and Rescue arrived at the Victorville City landfill at 18600 Stoddard Wells Road.

According to a witness, authorities were seen searching an area near the top of the landfill with an excavator and sheriff’s dogs searching through the trash.

If they tossed that baby in a dumpster, it ought too mean an automatic LWOP. Neither of them should walk free again if they sent this baby to the dump.

Any updates from court? I thought they had an arraignment today.

Between last Tuesday April 23 and yesterday April 28th daytime temperatures in Victorville ranged between 84 and 92 degrees which will unfortunately really speed up decomposition.

Yes, it should. Look at this...when grandma called, mom would tell her Duke was sleeping.

The grandmother said that she had not seen or heard from the child in nearly two weeks and when she called her daughter would say he was sleeping.

Me too. What a horrible place for little Duke's body to be. A precious treasure to find among all of the tons of trash.

I remember when sweet Sommer Thompson's little body was found discarded at a landfill in Georgia.

It is still incomprehensible to me how anyone can be capable of doing this to anyone, but especially parents who can throw their innocent children away as if they never meant anything to them other than a burden.

May they find little Duke soon, and bring him out of that stench he shouldn't have ever been in the first place.

My heart breaks for all of the searches too including the dogs. It's the worst toxic environment to search in, both for humans, and dogs.

I cant imagine the sadness, and pain these searchers all feel knowing in all of that tons of garbage is the precious body of a small innocent little boy. Most have children, and grandchildren themselves.

I have seen so many in LE on ID, and OWN, breakdown, and cry like a baby when the victim was a child. Many of them still cry even if the murder of the child or children were many years ago. They never get over what they see other diabolical humans do to so many little children. It remains with them forever.

May they find Duke's little body soon bringing him out of the darkness to the light.

Imo

At least Duke had his grandmother in his life who cared deeply for him. If not for her I'm over 9000% certain he never would have even been reported as missing.

I don’t dare say what I think should be done with them.

I don't feel like she's as innocent as she wants people to think. I don't understand why it took her 2+ weeks to sound the alarm. Something isn't adding up IMO.

I can't speak for (or won't try to at least) her culpability. I believe the MSM links provided earlier said that she had been calling and asking to speak with the child for some time and that the mother kept saying he was asleep.

Here's some questions ---
1)Duke, his mom and his aunt did not live with the grandmother, correct?
2)How far distance-wise was the grandmother's house from where Duke resided? If she had been calling for a week and kept getting that "he's asleep" excuse, but she lived right around the block then there's certainly no excuse whatsoever for her not walking over there to try and get an idea as to what the heck was going on. I'm just not ready to cast her in a villain light with the information made available to this point.
