Police frantically searched for Hutchinson along a riverbed but have not found his remains.

Gosney admitted torturing and hog-tying two of Hutchinson’s siblings, according to the Journal News. Gosney tried to abandon the three children., but Hutchinson, a first-grader, tried to hold on to her minivan and she sped off. He died as he tried to stop his mom from fleeing.

The duo put the child’s body in a spare room and days later threw the boy into the Ohio River, police said and the News Journal reported.

Hutchinson’s feet were tied to a concrete block before being tossed in the river, according to the report.
