The search for a newborn boy who went missing from Washington, D.C. continues - and his mother is a person of interest in the case.

Two-month-old Kyon Jones was last seen Wednesday but wasn't reported missing until Friday, according to a police statement.

On Monday, the Charles City County Sheriff's Office said authorities were searching a Virginia landfill for the newborn, WRIC reports.

Investigators believe the newborn's body may have been dumped and are now going through dumpsters, landfills and garbage trucks servicing the D.C. area, a source close to the investigation told WTRV.
