Two new facts:

Manny had been living with his father for several months.

LE had video that led them to the landfill search -- "video showed some evidence that would suggest the body might've made its way into a dumpster and into a garbage truck."

Manny, you deserved so much better. Just awful.

He's being held for murder 2.

Watching to see if that gets upgraded.

FYI 1st degree murder in MN can only be charged by grand jury indictment, which I've learned from other MN cases making headlines.

Arrested/charged/indicted/arraigned, sadly, we all knew where this was headed.

Poor Manny. Poor Manny's mom and other loved ones.

It breaks my heart to think of that boy having his life cut short and then being thrown away like he was trash and not a human being. I'm glad he's been found so he can be properly laid to rest.

That landfill search has to have been traumatic and gross in view of weather conditions in equal measures imo
RIP precious child

Mother of Jordan 'Manny' Collins Jr. speaks for first time after murder charge

Ashley Berry said her son, 16-year-old Jordan "Manny" Collins Jr., deserves justice, and she wants his murderer to receive the maximum penalty.

"He needs to feel every bit of what he's done and to think about it every day," said Berry, referring to Manny's father, 38-year-old Jordan Dupree Collins Sr.

Collins Sr. has been charged with second-degree murder. He was arrested on Monday and is currently being held at the Anoka County Jail on a $2 million bond.

From the article-

“Authorities said the teen’s autopsy determined his cause of death was decapitation by knife, ruling his death a homicide.”

I have not read everything on this case and likely missed the above.
Unreal.
Thank you for posting.
*My opinions.

Berry gave high praise to the investigators in the case, saying they tried to prepare her for the horrifying details.

"The detectives have been pretty good at trying to prepare me before I got to court; they tried to warn me about certain things. But how fast it got out there. It was like... It's hard for me to be on social media right now. It's hard for me to do a lot of things. It was a lot of stuff I didn't know," said Berry.

probably already been shared but wanted to share today because Manny's mom has been on my mind today. Still trying to understand how a father DOES this to his son. I can't imagine how difficult this has been for Ms. Berry to process.
