Florida authorities last week said they think they have found the body of 9-week-old Chance Walsh (RIP), who has been missing since Sept. 9, buried in North Port, a central Florida city near the state's Gulf coastline.
His parents, Kristen Bury and Joseph Walsh, were arrested on Florida child abuse charges in South Carolina. Bury was later charged with first degree murder, and Walsh was charged Tuesday with first-degree felony murder, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities say they became involved when Chance's grandmother called them Oct. 4, concerned about the baby's well-being.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Bury told investigators that the infant had died Sept. 16 at their North Port home. That morning, she said, she and Walsh got into an argument. Walsh, she said, began repeatedly hitting the child, at one point telling her he was going to bash the child's head into the ground, according to the affidavit.
According to the document, Bury told Walsh, "You are going to break his f***ing neck." However, police say the woman didn't call 911 or attempt to prevent Walsh from hurting the boy.
The child was placed in his crib after his death and left to decompose, according to the document. Bury allegedly told Walsh that the smell was overwhelming and he had to do something with the body. Walsh then allegedly wrapped the infant's decomposing remains in numerous garbage bags and placed him in the closet of the bedroom.
On Sept. 25, the two allegedly dug a shallow grave, and later brought the child's body there in their car and buried him. Walsh led police to the body after his arrest.
