CLARKSBURG, Md. (AP) – Maryland police say they believe they’ve found the remains of a missing boy whose mother was found slain.

Investigators discovered the remains of a young, African-American boy Tuesday morning in a wooded area of the county. Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger says officers believe it is the body of 11-year-old William McQuain.

Authorities began searching for William after Jane McQuain was found dead last week in the bedroom of her Germantown condominium. Her estranged husband, Curtis Maurice Lopez, was arrested in North Carolina and charged in her death. Lopez has waived his extradition and is due back in Montgomery County.

Police have been searching different trails and parks in northern Montgomery County, based on information they say they’ve received.
