"The evidence discovered provided detectives probable cause to arrest Bryce McIntosh and Jillian Godfrey for child abuse. The evidence also led investigators to several locations throughout the county." "At the locations ... we did collect trace evidence that leave no doubt that Noah is the victim of a homicide," Corona Police Chief George Johnstone said at a Thursday news conference.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on April 8. It was not immediately if he had legal representation yet.
If convicted of all charges, he could face life without possibility of parole and would be eligible for the death penalty.
"I'm not prepared to discuss the motive. We do believe there is motive for this to have occurred," Johnstone said.
Johnstone said Bryce McIntosh was not cooperative with the investigation and that Godfrey "has very limited information."
Police do not know the specific date of the alleged killing and are asking for the public's help, Johnstone said. "We ask our community to reflect back to February 20 through March 12," the police department said.
Dad accused of killing his 8-year-old son; police still searching for boy's body
It’s unfathomable that anyone could do this to another human being, let alone a child, and in particular his own child. What can I say, there are no words.
LE believe there’s a motive????? In my eyes, there can never be a motive for murdering a child other than total insanity.
