BUCKEYE, AZ — Jesse Wilson's adoptive mother has been arrested in connection to the 10-year-old's death.
A massive search effort was launched in July 2016 after the 10-year-old boy was reported missing from his family's Buckeye home.
Nearly two years after disappearing, his remains were found in the Buckeye area, but no arrests were made.
"While this is not the outcome for which any of us had hoped, we want to stress that this is not the end of our investigation," Buckeye police said at the time.
On Tuesday, police announced they arrested Crystal Wilson, who was taken into custody at her home in Georgia.
Wilson was 10 years old when he disappeared from his Buckeye home in 2016.
Nearly two years later, on March 8, 2018, human remains were found in a field by a city worker near State Route 85 and Broadway Road. Buckeye police later confirmed that the remains found were those of Jesse.
Police said at the time that they consider the death a homicide and had not ruled out any suspects. No arrests have been announced since then.
Details on what Buckeye police are expected to announce have not been released.
