SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say they plan to search a Georgia landfill for the remains of a toddler reported missing nearly two weeks ago. Chatham County Police Chief Jeff Hadley said Tuesday that investigators have evidence that leads them to believe 20-month-old Quinton Simon’s body was dumped in a trash bin that had its contents deposited at the landfill outside Savannah. The boy was reported missing Oct. 5 by his mother. The police chief now says she’s a prime suspect in the child’s death and disappearance, though she has not been arrested or charged.  FBI supervisory agent Will Clarke said debris from the landfill will be brought to a search deck where investigators will sift through the trash a pile at a time.
