Police Resume Landfill Search For Baby Jacsun's Remains
Jacsun's fate was finally confirmed after his parents admitted to dumping his body, according to reports.
CULVER CITY, CA – The Culver City Police Department will resume its search of the El Sobrante Landfill in Corona for the remains of Jacsun Manson Tuesday, police announced.
Investigators began searching the Corona landfill in February for the boy's remains, but were unable to find any sign of the infant, said Culver City police Capt. Jason Sims. Six-month-old Jacsun's fate was finally confirmed after his parents admitted to dumping his body, according to documents obtained by ABC7.
The baby's parents, Kianna Williams, 32, and Adam Manson, 34, were formally charged by the LA County District Attorney’s Office with felony child endangerment resulting in death, with no bail.

Manson and Williams 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.
