“We haven’t been able to confirm that at this time. An autopsy will have to do the confirmation on that,” said a Waco Police officer on a Facebook live video posted by KWTX News 10.
On Monday an Amber Alert was issued for Frankie, who is 2 feet and 6 inches tall, and was last seen wearing a gray shirt and gray pants with Mickey Mouse on them.
The child’s mother had initially contacted police to say the child disappeared at a Waco park when she briefly turned away, according to KWTX.
On Tuesday, police discovered the body at a dumpster behind the Park Lake Drive Baptist Church, less than three miles from the park where he was first reported missing.
Police did not give information on a suspect.
