California authorities on Saturday said the mother and aunt of a
�critically missing� 6-year-old were arrested for the boy�s
murder.
Police in Apple Valley responded to a home on Thursday night
after a family member asked �for a welfare check� on 6-year-old
Duke Flores, the San Bernardino County Sheriff�s Department said
in a news release.
Jakee Contreras, the boy�s mother, told deputies that he hadn�t
�been seen for approximately two weeks,� prompting authorities
to scour the area, the department said.
The mother was arrested and booked in a detention center for
child neglect �for her delay in reporting him missing.�
The following day, detectives arrived at the scene and the
search for the missing child continued, according to officials.
�Detectives gathered evidence and conducted multiple interviews
throughout the day with family members,� the news release said.
Following an interview with Contreras on Saturday, she was
booked for murder and held without bond, officials said. The
same day, Jennifer Contreras, the boy�s aunt, was also arrested
and booked for murder, according to the sheriff�s department.
She is also held without bail.
�The investigation is ongoing and detectives are continuing the
search for Duke Flores,� officials said.
The sheriff�s department on Friday posted on Facebook about the
missing child, saying he was last spotted in the area of
Cherokee and Pawnee in Apple Valley, Calif.
