I doubt his killers will ever face justice but at least he has his name back.

Unfortunately his killer or killers are probably dead. Even if they can somehow someday figure out the killers identity, I don't think there will ever be an arrest

it had to be one of the parents right? if it wasn't they surely would have id'd him when they started putting his photo everywhere back then

Article says he has living siblings. Those siblings should be asked about their childhood

One would think that if your child goes missing and they find a child's body and you don't contact the police about it that you were probably involved.

The boy, who was 4 years old, had been wrapped in a blanket and placed inside a large JCPenney bassinet box. Police say he was malnourished. Hed been beaten to death.

Sounds domestic related to me.

Not really. other leads were that the child was sold to another family.
