More Prime Justice news after this. And now to Minnesota. Authorities have unveiled a disturbing revelation regarding the death of a teenage boy just days following the arrest of his father on murder charges linked to the incident. Jordan Dupree Collins Sr. faced arraignment on a second-degree murder charge in Ocona County Court. As confirmed by the Ocona County Sheriff's Office, he is being held on a two million dollar bail. Currently there has been no confirmation regarding his plea. Collins, who was taken into custody on July 7 is accused of

the murder of his 16 year old son Jordan Manny Collins Jr. The boys remains were discovered after an extensive search of the landfill in Elk River Minnesota which lasted nearly a month as announced by the Sheriff's office on July 1. The last sighting of the teen was on May 8 in a Columbia Heights neighborhood and he was reported missing four days later. During a press conference, Anoka County Sheriff Brad Wise revealed that investigators had obtained video evidence suggesting that the boy's body may have ended up in the dumpster and subsequently in a garbage truck.

A criminal complaint filed this week, which was reviewed by the Minnesota Public Radio Broadcasting, indicated that a preliminary autopsy revealed signs of decapitation. Additionally, investigators discovered knives and blood-stained items during their search of Collins' home. The father reportedly told investigators that the last time he saw his son was on May 8 when the boy left home. Authorities also traced a garbage truck that collected waste from behind the father's apartment on May 13, which ultimately led them to the landfill, according to the complaint.

The motive behind the alleged crime remains unclear. In the wake of the boy's disappearance, a GoFundMe campaign was established to support his mother, Ashley Berry, as she faced challenges in returning to work as she searched for her son. He was a wonderful kid. Anyone who knew him knew what he meant to them. He had an old soul, she said during an interview with KARE 11. Currently, the boy's father is being held behind bars.
