October 9, 2010 (CHICAGO) Prosecutors say 30-year-old Donald Johnson picked up his 14-month-old son, Dontrell on Monday and later called the boy's mother, threatening to harm the child.

A boater found Dontrell's body in Lake Michigan Thursday.

An autopsy found that the boy had been strangled.

Johnson was charged with the toddler's murder Friday.
