Summary
Jacob Bevins, 36, was arrested Thursday on murder, manslaughter and other charges after police found 4-year-old Aiden Bevins' remains in a garbage bag beneath his Aberdeen-area home.
Police began investigating on May 12 while looking into Bevins' missing 6-year-old daughter, who was found safe with her mother, and then discovered Aiden had been unaccounted for for about a year.
Investigators said Bevins first claimed the boy was with relatives in another state, then admitted striking him in the head before later changing his account to say Aiden fell while being chased to the bathroom.
Authorities said the child's blunt-force injuries did not match that later explanation, while former foster parents said both children had previously been returned to their biological parents despite repeated safety concerns raised to Child Protective Services.
