Orem police confirmed Monday that officials have found what they believe are the bodies of a Utah mother and her son who have been missing for almost four years.
Officials have spent the past month focused on finding the remains of 23-year-old Emily Quijano and her 3-year-old son, Gabriel Almiron, after Quijano’s boyfriend admitted on Aug. 6 to killing the two.
Christopher Poulson said he “severely” injured Gabriel while he was babysitting the toddler on Sept. 8, 2015. He put the child to bed, and Quijano came home from school and went to sleep.
When Poulson woke up the next morning, he found Gabriel had died overnight.
