Philadelphia police officials confirmed that King Hill, the two-year-old boy who was reported missing earlier this month is presumed dead.

Monday morning, District Attorney Larry Krasner announced in a press conference murder charges against Tianna Parks, 24. Authorities say their investigation yielded cell phone and video evidence that led to the conclusion that the boy is dead.

King’s babysitter, Tianna Parks was arraigned Monday on a number of charges including murder, endangering the welfare of children, abuse of corpse, false reports to law enforcement, and related charges. She was not granted bail.

King Hill had been missing since July 7. Police say his body has not been recovered as of Monday morning. According to Captain Jason Smith last time Hill was seen alive was on July 4^th and 5^th. Police also said that King Hill was deceased before police were even notified that he was missing.

Investigators say there is no reason to believe anyone else is involved in King’s death, including his mother & stepfather.

“The death of King Hill is an unbearable tragedy that is compounded by Tiana Parks’ actions. This precious baby’s family and community deserve to know how he died. They deserve the opportunity to bury and mourn him with dignity,” Krasner said in a statement Monday. “This child deserved so much better in life. My office will continue to work alongside the Philadelphia Police and FBI to seek justice for his death.”

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw also expressed her sorrow at the sad news “Every sense of loss of life is tragic, but the loss of our most innocent and vulnerable is especially devastating. And the circumstances surrounding the loss of King Hill has left the entire community shaken”.

He was reported missing after his mother said he went to spend time with the father of her older daughter weeks ago which she says was routine. However, the mom says last week he asked if she picked up King from Parks’ home on the corner of 33rd and Diamond Streets.

Virtually everything was false

The mother says she did not pick him up. Police say Parks claimed she did.

Parks, who is a friend of the stepfather’s, previously told police she handed off the child to his biological mother at the corner of 31st and Montgomery Streets. King’s mother claimed that she has not seen the Parks in “several weeks.”

Police say “virtually everything,” Parks told them during interviews proved to be false.

“Virtually everything that she told us was refuted by the evidence that the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department developed,” said Anthony Voci, Chief of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office Homicide Unit.

Investigators say the time, location, and manner of King’s death remains unknown. They were emphatic with the fact that this is an active investigation.

“La muerte de King Hill es una tragedia insoportable que se agrava por las acciones de Tianna Parks. La familia y la comunidad de este precioso bebé merecen saber cómo murió. Merecen la oportunidad de enterrarlo y llorarle con dignidad”, dijo el fiscal Larry Krasner. “Este niño merecía algo mucho mejor en la vida. Mi oficina continuará trabajando junto con la policía de Filadelfia y el FBI para buscar justicia por su muerte”.

La policía de Filadelfia dice que el padrastro de King lo reportó como desaparecido el 7 de julio, cuando se dio cuenta de que Parks, a quien la policía describe como niñera, no tenía al niño de 2 años.

Parks le dijo a la policía que le devolvió el niño a su madre en la calle 31 y Diamond. La madre de King, Amber Hill, dice que la entrega nunca ocurrió y que no conocía a Parks en absoluto.

Después de casi dos semanas de búsqueda, la madre de King dice que los detectives y un representante de la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito visitaron su casa en Strawberry Mansion el domingo para compartir que Parks sería acusado del asesinato de su hijo. Su cuerpo aún no ha sido recuperado.

“Ni siquiera puedo recuperar su cuerpo, lo que sea que ella le estaba haciendo, no puedo ni siquiera recuperar su cuerpo. Está arruinando a toda mi familia. Siento que toda esta investigación fue demasiado larga. Creo que deberían haberla encarcelado”, dijo Amber Hill.

La identidad del sospechoso aún no ha sido revelada. Pero la noticia de que el niño está muerto es un triste final para un misterio que se extendió durante la mayor parte de este mes.

“Mantuvimos la fe viva y ahora tenemos la noticia de que mi hijo fue asesinado”, dijo Amber Hill, la madre del niño, a NBC10 mientras lloraba. “A lo largo de todo esto, realmente pensé que mi hijo estaba vivo. Es simplemente desgarrador”.

King Hill fue reportado como desaparecido de su casa en la calle Page cerca de la calle 31 en el vecindario de la Mansión Strawberry de Filadelfia alrededor de las 9:50 a.m. el martes 7 de julio.

“We’ve put a tremendous amount of resources to this, probably more resources than we’ve ever devoted to any other investigation I’ve had here in the past over 40 years,” he said.

Burgmann said that they have talked to everyone involved. The boy´s stepfather, the mother and the baby sitter have been cooperating with the authorities.

Everyone was cooperative, police say, but they still have no new leads. Burgmann said authorities are determined to figure out what happened to King.

“We’re leaving no stone unturned here. We’re not going to stop until the child returns,” he said.

They said missing children are number one priority and they have been working around the clock.

King was reported missing on Wednesday night by his stepfather. Police Capt. Mark Burgmann said the boy was in the care of a babysitter, who is a friend of the stepfather. According to police, the babysitter told the stepfather she returned King to his biological mother.

However King´s mother declared that did not happen.

“The babysitter advised the stepfather that she had returned the child to the mother, however, that’s being disputed by the mother,” Burgmann said. “The biological mother is claiming she did not return the child to her. We are very aggressively investigating this to find out where the child is.”

Police have found that the versions are contradictory. “Somebody’s not telling us the truth,” Burgmann said.

“Everyone’s been cooperative so far, they have,” the captain said. “Like I said, it just comes down to one person said I returned the child, the others saying no she didn’t. At this point in time, we have no idea where the child is.”

Investigators are in the process of obtaining surveillance video to confirm if the babysitter actually dropped the child off to the mother.

Anyone with any information on King’s whereabouts is asked to contact police at 215-685-3257 or call 911.
