JoAnn Cunningham and Andrew Freund Sr have both been charged in the death and disappearance of their five-year-old son AJ, authorities announced at a press conference on Wednesday. The boy’s body was discovered in a rural field in Woodstock, Illinois, six days after the parents reported that he’d vanished from their home in Crystal Lake on the night of April 17. Earlier in the day investigators were seen carrying items including a dirt-caked shovel, two brown bags, a plastic storage bin and a small mattress out of the house.
