Carthage police say Eddie Salazar Sr., 28, the father of the missing eight-month-old baby who was found dead on Saturday in the Spring River, is the prime suspect in his son’s death.
In a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Carthage Police Chief Greg Dagnan said investigators have determined that Salazar Sr., lied to police when he reported that two men in ski masks broke into his home at 227 E. Mound St. late Thursday and took Eddie Salazar Jr. from his bed.
