The search for missing toddler Quinton Simon is zeroing in on a Georgia landfill nearly two weeks after he vanished.
Quinton was reported missing from his home in Savannah on the morning of 5 October.
A week later, Chatham County police announced they believe the 20-month-old is dead, and his mother, 22-year-old Leilani Simon, is considered the “prime suspect”. No arrests have been made so far.
In a grim update on Tuesday, authorities revealed that the search is now focused on a landfill where Quinton’s body is thought to have been taken after being put in a dumpster.
The FBI later released photos of dozens of investigators combing the landfill with rakes.
As the first day of the landfill search came to a close, Quinton’s mother and grandmother were seen drinking at a bar called Sting Ray’s in Tybee Island, local outlet WSAV reported.
When reached by The Independent, a Sting Ray’s staff member said: “No comment. They were here, they drank, they left.”
