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.
