Skeleton found in Texas creek is likely boy whose parents starved him to death

The bones were found in a sleeping bag under a log in a few feet of water — matching the account that Ramsey's sicko father, Aaron Ramsey, gave to police, the Morning News reported.

Cops said Aaron Ramsey, 34, and the boy's 31-year-old stepmother, Elizabeth, confessed to locking the boy in a room last year and fed him only bread and water as punishment for acting up.

The pair told police that Johnathan had punched Elizabeth in the stomach while she was pregnant, causing her to miscarry, the Morning News said.

During the imprisonment, the boy's weight dropped from 90 to 60 pounds, and he became so ravaged that he ate his own feces, according to court documents.

Cops said Johnathan probably died in August.

Aaron Ramsey told police he put the boy's body in a sleeping bag, tossed in a few dryer sheets to mask the smell, and then dumped him in a creek bed, the Morning News said. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cops-skeleton-found-texas-creek-boy-parents-starved-death-article-1.1067865
