Michael A. Jones, 44, is in the Wyandotte County Jail being held on an enormously high bond of $10 million.
 
The charges are for aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated battery and child abuse, but the bond is higher than for most murders.
 
The Piper-area home that Jones and his 29-year-old wife, Heather Jones, lived in is valued at more than $225,000. But the backyard is littered with junk, as well as toys for their children.
 
Two women who often cared for the kids say the conditions inside were deplorable.
 
"Their house was horrible," said one woman who asked for anonymity. "Their house was just filthy. The kids lived in filth. Trash everywhere. Dried food all over the house.”
 
The women say eight children, ranging from ages 1 to 11, lived inside the home in the 5200 block of N. 99th Street.
 
Police came to the home Wednesday morning on a report of Michael Jones attacking his wife and firing a gun at her. As the investigation progressed, someone told them to check for the decomposed body of a missing 7-year-old boy.
 
By the next day, they were searching a barn on the property where they discovered human remains.

Michael Jones is now charged with battering and assaulting his wife on Wednesday but also with "torturing or cruelly beating" his 7-year-old son sometime between May 1 and Sept. 28.
 
The former babysitters say several people contacted the Kansas Department For Children and Families with concerns about the children. They fear the remains found belong to the boy, and they say they’re watching closely to make sure justice is served.
 
The women say the seven other children are safe and in protective custody.

OMG, how awful!   

Poor baby!  Hope they can figure out what happened to him, and get justice for him.  Praying the other children will be safe now.

Just heartbreaking!

Parents of missing boy charged with murder after human remains found at their barn

KANSAS CITY, MO (WCMH) — The father and stepmother of a missing Kansas City boy are now both facing murder charges.

Investigators believe Michael and Heather Jones beat 7-year-old Adrian to death.

Heather Jones, 29, was arrested Thursday morning, NBC affiliate KSHB-TB reports. She’s being held on first-degree murder and abuse of a child charges. Michael Jones, 44, was already in jail on child abuse charges. The district attorney added the charge of first degree murder on Friday.

Family members say the boy’s body may have been fed to pigs on the couple’s property in an attempt to get rid of the evidence. Police did recover the remains of a juvenile at a barn on the couple’s property, but it will take several weeks before the remains can be positively identified.

 

Coon said four of the girls are the biological children of Heather and Michael Jones. The two other girls, as well as A.J., are believed to be Michael Jones’ children from previous relationships.

The children were home-schooled and were not enrolled in any local schools. Ann Bush, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Education, said Michael Jones and his wife registered to home-school their children on July 17, 2012. The official name they used was the Jones Academy.
