On Tuesday, authorities arrested Samantha Moreno Rodriguez, 35, who they believe killed her son Liam Husted, 7. Police said they discovered Rodriguez hiding out in a hotel in Denver, Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>On May 28, hikers discovered the young boy\u2019s body off a trail near the main highway in Mountain Springs, Nevada. According to investigators, Liam was last seen in San Jose, California on May 24 when his father noticed he had vanished with his mother leaving behind a single note. The note described a rushed mother fleeing with her son to start a new life and that she was sorry it had to be this way.<\/p>\n<p>A week after finding the letter, Liam was reported missing to authorities on June 1. The boy\u2019s father initially declined to file a report because he didn\u2019t want Rodriguez to face parental abduction charges. Police asked the public for assistance in identifying the boy, with investigators releasing sketches of what he looks like.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2420034\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2420034\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2420034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/liam-777x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"FILE - These artist's renderings created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and distributed Thursday, June 3, 2021, by the FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department depict a slain boy believed to be between the ages of 8 and 10 whose body was found Friday, May 28, 2021, off a hiking trail between Las Vegas and rural Pahrump, Nev.
