Authorities resume search at SoCal landfill for body of 6-month-old boy; parents remain in custody

Authorities resumed the search Tuesday for the remains of a 6-month-old boy in a Southern California landfill.

The Culver City Police Department said it was searching the El Sobrante Landfill in Corona for the remains of Jacsun Manson, who was reported missing to police on Jan. 25 by the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services.

His parents, Adam Manson and Kiana Williams, were each charged with one count of child abuse resulting in death and were being held without bail. A preliminary hearing date has not been set.

Manson, 34, and Williams, 32, are accused of putting the baby's body in a suitcase and throwing it in the trash, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Culver City Police Department personnel and several volunteers first began searching at the landfill last month, where detectives believe the 6-month-old's body may have ended up.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Culver City Police Department. During business hours contact Detective Raya at 310-253-6318. After business hours, contact the Watch Commander at 310-253-6202.
