LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — UPDATE, Sept. 3 | Police suspect homicide after the body of a 3-year-old boy was found in a remote area near Lake Mead National Recreation Area, shortly after he was reported missing from Sunset Park.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lt. Ray Spencer told reporters Monday morning that two people have been taken into custody as suspects in the death of Daniel Theriot. He identified the two suspects as the boy's 20-year-old mother and her 40-year-old boyfriend.

He said he could not disclose any details on the cause or manner of death, but called the circumstances "absolutely disturbing."

"There is nothing accidental about this investigation, as far as the death of this child," Spencer said.

Daniel was reported missing around 9 a.m. Sunday from Sunset Park. According to Spencer, authorities soon became suspicious of the details provided, with people at the park saying they did not see the child or a search for him until police responded.

Police began a criminal investigation separate from the search, Spencer said, and both continued overnight until Daniel's body was found early Monday morning.

Spencer said police believe the child's time of death was within 12 hours of Sunday's missing person report.

The two suspects will initially be booked Monday afternoon on suspicion of child abuse related to a 2-year-old child found at their home. Spencer said both suspects will likely face charges in the 3-year-old's death as well, though the investigation is still ongoing.

This is common practice theoughout the animal kingdom. The new male kills the offspring of the previous male in order to get the female to come into season sooner, so he can breed with her and produce his own offspring.

These fuc8ing childish asshole boyfriends are actually jealous of these sweet adorable little boys. and I will say this to these assholes: grow up. You are ugly, hairy, smelly and the little boys are darling and yes, their mothers love them more than you. Deal with it.

But since we are spiritual/material composites, when human beings fall, we do not fall into the animalistic: we fall into the demonic.

The mother and boyfriend were very likely white: the little boy who was murdered was a blue-eyed blonde.

Worse thing a child would hear ‘Honey, this is the new daddy.’. Not really, since ConservaTeen is not my flesh and blood, but it seems that a new boyfriend is always killing kids who aren’t their own.

Pretty sure they aren’t white because they usually point that out.

I had assumed the boyfriend was not the natural father... that’s often how it goes in these types of cases... thanks for the comment.

The most serious danger that little boys and girls in this country face is:

All too familiar story. Single mom meets man. Man doesn't want the kids from the other man around. It doesn't often end in murder but there are lots of people out there with "stepdads" that can attest that they were just not wanted around anymore when mommy's new boyfriend came on the scene.

That said, there are exceptions. Some step-dads are absolutely wonderful. But, they are exceptions.
