Remains found in Iowa cornfield may be those of Iowa boy missing since late May, Xavior Harrelson

Montezuma, Iowa — Investigators searching for an Iowa boy who vanished in May days before his 11th birthday said Thursday they have found human remains matching his description in a nearby cornfield.

The remains were discovered by a farmer working in a field a few miles outside of Montezuma, where 10-year-old Xavior Harrelson was reported missing May 27 from the trailer park where he lived.

The farmer called the Poweshiek County Sheriff's Office, which responded to the scene, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation assistant director Mitch Mortvedt told CBS Des Moines affiliate KCCI-TV.
