Jones had reportedly\u00a0shot at his 29-year-old wife, Heather. As the investigation progressed, authorities got a tip to check the property for the remains of Jones’ seven-year-old son, who had been missing for several months.<\/p>\n
The next day, authorities found human remains near a barn on the rural property in Piper, where Jones lived with his wife and eight children ranging in ages from one to 11.<\/p>\n Jones’ charges were upgraded to ‘torturing or cruelly beating’ his missing son. Heather Jones is not the mother of the boy, who may be dead.<\/p>\n The other eight children reportedly lived in deplorable conditions. They were also home schooled, according to\u00a0Kansas City Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n Heather Jones bought the pigs in September, around the same time authorities think the child may have been killed.<\/span><\/p>\n A police source reportedly told the outlet\u00a0that authorities feared that the boy’s remains may have been fed to the swine, according to KPTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n Michael Williams, the brother of Jones’ wife, told the NBC affiliate KSHB <\/a>about abuse he says his sister and the children allegedly had to endure over the years at the hands of Jones.<\/p>\n ‘There are bullet holes in the walls of that house. So I’m sure you can understand what terror may have been going through that household daily.’<\/p>\n Jones, the owner of a bail bonding business, is being held at the Wyandotte County Jail on a bond of $10million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Authorities ask that anyone with information about the case call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.<\/p>\n![\"1775cd4c28860cd0754b778a8a3c3d12\"](\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1775cd4c28860cd0754b778a8a3c3d12-1024x568.jpg\")
