Body Believed to be That of Missing Child, Juliani Cardenas Found in California Canal

Police find body of small boy, who matches the physical characteristics of missing child, Juliani Cardenas, abducted by Jose Esteban Rodriguez.

California authorities have found the body of a small boy, thought to be that of Juliani Cardenas, 4, in a canal. According to CNN, authorities said the body matches the child's physical description and the clothing he was wearing when he was abducted two weeks ago. Police also believe the remains of Jose Esteban Rodriguez, who is accused of abducting the child, are also in the canal. This is such a tragedy. This man took the child with the intention of doing harm and causing the mother untold grief. He did this to get back at her. Such a shame. Formal identification of the boy's body will take two to three weeks, Christianson said.
