CULVER CITY, CA – In documents obtained by ABC7, parents of 6-month-old Jacsun Manson revealed disturbing details about the final moments of their baby's death.

After months of speculation about what happened to baby Jacsun and a fruitless search at Corona landfill, the baby's fate was finally confirmed after his parents admitted to dumping his body. Culver City detectives were able to sift through conflicting stories from the baby's parents to get the tragic truth.

Adam Manson, 34, and Kiana Williams, 32 – who were charged with child abuse causing death – confessed to detectives that they were "chronic methamphetamine and marijuana users," smoking every day, the news station reported.

On New Year's Eve at King Motel in Los Angeles, Manson woke up to Williams crying while holding the baby, the news station said. When the couple realized Jacsun was unresponsive and limp, they decided against calling the police "out of fear that they would be arrested for Jacsun's death," according to ABC7.

Then, they wrapped Jacsun in a blanket and trash bag, stuffed him in a duffel bag, and dumped him behind the Sears store at Baldwin Hills Plaza, the news station reported.

The boy's parents – who had been living at a shelter in Culver City – were arrested Jan. 3, when they were found in a stolen vehicle, police said. The boy was not with them when they were arrested. Jacsun, who was last seen Dec. 31 with his parents, was officially reported missing by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services on Jan. 25.
