Seven-year-old Hershall Creachbaum was reported missing last year after his family did not see him for weeks, as previously reported.
Ashley Johnson, Creachbaum’s mother, and Michael Kendrick, Johnson’s boyfriend, were arraigned on new charges back in April.
Body camera video from last summer shows Dayton police trying to find Creachbaum after being called to a home on Xenia Avenue.
His family continues to seek justice for Hershall.
“I want answers to the questions I have, I want to know, like what did he do so wrong to him? You know, why wouldn’t she protect him?” Jessica McNier previously said.
As previously reported, Creachbaum’s remains were found near the McClure Street bridge.
Kendrick faces four charges, with the most serious being murder.
He pleaded not guilty.
Johnson faces tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse charges.
She also pleaded not guilty.
