The search for missing two-year-old Angelo Tobias Plaza took a disturbing turn yesterday after investigators received a tip-off suggesting the child’s body may have been dumped at the Studley Park landfill sometime after Mother’s Day.

The information reportedly came through a WhatsApp message sent to investigators as police intensified efforts to determine the toddler’s whereabouts.

The development comes as the child’s mother, 22-year-old Kalifah Tobias, and her boyfriend Shannon Miller, who has been described as the child’s stepfather, remained in police custody yesterday while officers continued extensive investigations into the disappearance of the toddler.
