Court documents allege that Brown stabbed Lattimore at a Melrose Avenue apartment around Dec. 11, with investigators basing that allegation on video and crime scene evidence in addition to witness statements, according to WLWT.
But circumstances regarding the Dec. 4 disappearance of the child are “unknown,” police said. The boy with black hair and brown eyes was last reported seen around noon that day at the same Melrose Avenue apartment building.
Police so far have been unable to publicly update that timeline of his disappearance, and ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040, or detectives at 513-352-6948 or 513-352-6934.
