(KMOV.com) – An Amber Alert issued for a missing Jefferson City 6 year old was cancelled after the boy and the alleged abductor were reportedly found dead Tuesday evening.
The bodies of a man and juvenile were discovered shot to death at a home in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on Christmas Eve. Authorities eventually identified the bodies as Markell Beasley, 6, and his father, Demitrius Beasley, 40.
Published reports quote police as saying it appears to be a case of murder-suicide.
On Monday, Demitrius Beasley took his son after telling the boy’s mother he was taking the boy to a family Christmas gathering in St. Louis. Police said the mother later learned there was no such gathering.
Police say that the texts and phone calls exchanged between the mother and suspect indicate that Markell would not be returned to his mother.
Jefferson City detectives are still investigating and further details will be released when made available.
