Coroner: DNA confirms boy's ID in trailer park murder

June 22, 2011 (GARY, Ind.)

The boy was buried under concrete in a trailer park.

Prosecutors believe he was killed more than two years ago. They say his father, Riley Choate, and his stepmother, Kim Kubina, kept the boy in a cage and starved and beat him. They have pleaded not guilty to murder and abuse charges.

The body was found after the boy's sister alerted their biological mother, who called police.
