Police found a 3-year-old Missouri boy dead inside a van Wednesday morning, hours after his mysterious disappearance sparked a massive overnight search.
Officers found the body of Titus Greyson Tackett covered inside the abandoned car off a highway, about a mile from his family’s house, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A cause of death has not been announced, and police have not said who owned the van.
Titus’ grandparents were baby-sitting him when he vanished from his home in Arcadia, a town of about 600 people about 90 miles south of St. Louis, his family said. He stepped outside of his home, wearing only a diaper, and somehow wandered away after midnight.
The sheriff’s department, highway patrol and FBI scoured for the boy through the morning hours, along with about 50 volunteers, until a civilian made the grim discovery in the van around 11 a.m.
