MESA, Ariz. -- (KNXV) -- Mesa police have submitted charges to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office in reference to a missing child case.
Mesa police said 19-year-old Madeline Jones and her son, one-year-old William, were reported missing on June 16 by Roland Jones.
Officials have been working on the case since June and during the investigation it was determined that Roland and Cassandra Jones, her parents, participated in the disappearance of Madeline and William.
Police believe Roland and Cassandra were aware that the father of the child had been granted joint custody of William and helped Madeline deny access to his son.
