VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A search has resumed at a Mojave Desert landfill where authorities believe the body of a 6-year-old boy is buried.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says homicide detectives, 11 other department employees, 20 volunteers and 1 search dog are on the scene Monday at the Victorville landfill.

The search for the remains of little Duke Flores has been underway since late last month, when a welfare check requested by a relative led to the arrest of his mother and aunt in Apple Valley.



They have pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
