Remains found inside bin at Texas motel officially identified as 5-year-old Samuel Olson Jessica Schladebeck
The body of a young boy discovered inside a Texas motel has officially been identified as Samuel Olson, a 5-year-old from Jasper who was reported missing just ahead of his sixth birthday.
An autopsy released late Wednesday by officials in Harris County also revealed the young boy’s cause of death to be homicide by blunt force trauma to the head, according to Click2Houston.
Theresa Balboa, the girlfriend of Samuel’s father, is facing a count of tampering with evidence and prosecutors have already expressed intentions to file additional charges in connection with the case. She’s accused of placing the child’s body inside a small box and then leaving it in a storage unit in the city of Webster.
Child found dead in motel likely missing Texas boy who would have celebrated sixth birthday over the weekend Jessica Schladebeck
The body of a child found inside a Texas motel is likely that of a missing Houston boy, who would have celebrated his sixth birthday over the weekend.
An unidentified person initially reported Samuel Olson missing to authorities on May 27. The tipster told police the little boy was snatched from his home that night by an unknown male, but authorities have not been able to confirm the allegation.
On Tuesday night, just less than a week after his disappearance, authorities discovered a dead child inside a motel room in Jasper, about 135 miles from Houston, where little Samuel lived. While the remains have not officially been identified, investigators do believe they belong to the missing boy.
