Washington Father Arrested for Alleged Murder of 4-Year-Old Son and Concealment of Body
Jacob Bevins, a 36-year-old father from Washington state, has been arrested and charged with several felonies, including second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, following the discovery of his 4-year-old son’s body buried under his house. The child, Aiden Bevins, had been missing for about a year before his remains were found on May 15 inside a garbage bag. The arrest followed an investigation that began when police were alerted to the disappearance of Bevins' 6-year-old daughter, who was later found safe. During questioning, Jacob Bevins initially claimed his son was with relatives in another state, but later admitted to causing the child's death, citing an accident during a chase to the bathroom. However, the injuries were found to be inconsistent with his story, indicating blunt force trauma. The children had previously been in foster care before being returned to their biological parents, despite concerns raised by former foster parents about their safety.
