On Sunday night, the body of a little Ormond Beach kid at the heart of a Missing Child Alert was discovered.
Waylon Childs, age 4, was reported missing from the vicinity of Fleming Avenue at approximately 2:00 p.m., prompting the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to issue an alert for him.
According to Ormond Beach Police, Waylon vanished when his father was at a park with him and his two younger siblings.
