Burned remains in Missouri linked to missing Iowa child, dad

URBANDALE (AP) — Authorities say the remains of an infant and an adult found in burned vehicle in Harrison County, Mo., are believed to be those of a missing 9-month-old Iowa boy and his father.

Police in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale had been looking for the child, Logan Habibovic. An Amber Alert issued for him early Wednesday morning said it was believed he’d been abducted by 33-year-old Elvis Habibovic. The alert described a vehicle that authorities say matched the description of the burned vehicle found Tuesday evening in a conservation area of Missouri’s Harrison County.

Authorities in the two states are trying to positively identify the remains.
