Parents of California boy missing 2 weeks charged

CORONA, Calif. (AP) — The parents of an 8-year-old Southern California boy who’s been missing for two weeks have been charged with willful child cruelty.

A Riverside County district attorney’s spokesman says Bryce McIntosh and Jillian Godfrey were charged Friday in connection with their missing son, Noah McIntosh.

Bryce McIntosh is being held on $1 million bail while Godfrey’s bail is $500,000.

Corona police say their investigation began Tuesday when officers spoke with Godfrey and unsuccessfully tried to contact Bryce McIntosh at an apartment.

Officers serving a search warrant at the apartment Wednesday found McIntosh inside with his 11-year-old daughter, but Noah wasn’t there.

Detectives then arrested McIntosh and Godfrey. It’s unclear if they have attorneys.

They were in court Friday, when their arraignments were postponed until April 8.
