An Oregon father allegedly admitted on Sunday to killing his 11-month-old son after falsely reporting him missing.
Jared Stoller, 27, called Sutherlin police, claiming he woke up and his baby was missing from a room at the Relax Inn. According to KATU, Stoller said his son had been sleeping in a car seat in the room, which had a window pushed in.
However, once at the police station, Stoller admitted to lying about the suspected kidnapping. He then confessed to killing his infant son days earlier and dumping his body in the South Umpqua River, according to KEZI.
While Stoller initially told police that his son died during co-sleeping, he later confessed to manually strangling his son.
Stoller also agreed to take police to the river, where they eventually located the infant’s body. The Register-Guard reported that an autopsy is pending.
Stoller is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He is due in court on Friday.
