During a Friday press conference, Florida authorities announced that the remains of the body of Dontrell Melvin, who was 5-months-old when he disappeared in July of 2011, have been discovered at an address provided by his parents.

For the entire time that baby Dontrell was missing no one was looking for him.

Father, Calvin Melvin Jr., 27, and mother, Brittney Sierra, have both been arrested in their son’s disappearance.

Calvin Melvin Jr., 27, of Hallandale Beach, told police he dropped off his then-5-month-old son with his own parents in July 2011 because of financial trouble. The grandparents, who live in Pompano Beach, told officers they hadn’t seen their grandbaby in over a year.

In the year and a half since Melvin reportedly left the house with the baby and returned without him, Dontrell’s mother said she believed her son was with his grandparents.

The mother contacted authorities in October 2012, claiming Melvin had not allowed her to see Dontrell for over a year.

Police Chief Dwayne Flournoy told reporters that the Florida Department of Children and Families conducted an investigation at that point, but the findings were unknown.

The search for baby Dontrell began after Child Protective Services responding to a child neglect case at the mother’s home discovered that there were only 2 children when there should have been three.

Those two children are now in the custody of the state.
