The body of missing Illinois five-year-old Andrew "AJ" Freund has been found buried in a shallow grave near his home and both his parents are being charged with his murder, police said Wednesday. AJ's parents reported him missing last Thursday, but investigators reportedly soon concluded that there was no evidence that he had been abducted or wandered off. AJ's parents said the last time they saw him was when they put him to bed on Wednesday evening. Black said police met with both of AJ's parents after information was uncovered through forensic investigation of cell phone communications, and that both parents then provided information that led them to AJ's body. Black spoke directly to AJ's family, saying that he hoped they would know that the "killers had been brought to justice."
