Child’s Remains Found in Illinois Woods | St. Louis News

A chilling missing child case in Illinois takes a dark turn as authorities uncover disturbing clues linking the father to the disappearance of two-year-old Ronnell Prince Jones Junior. The mother, who reported him missing two years ago, says she last saw her son at age two — but police didn’t act until recently, citing her ongoing relationship with the father as a barrier. Now, the child’s father, Christopher Fields Templeton, a 36-year-old with a violent past, has been arrested on child abduction and endangerment charges. His arrest follows a cold trail that led to St. Louis County, where the child’s belongings were found — and where Templeton, who also has a history of domestic violence, is now jailed. The mother’s desperate search and the detective’s involvement hint at a deeper, more sinister story still unfolding.
