Several weeks after his remains were discovered in a landfill, it's still not known when the family of Savannah toddler Quinton Simon will be able to lay him to rest.
Thursday marked three months since toddler Quinton Simon disappeared from his Savannah home.
And while his mother, 23-year-old Leilani Simon, is behind bars charged with his murder, his family still can't bury him.
It's unknown when the family of Quinton will be able to lay him to rest. And that's according to the FBI.
Timeline of events surrounding the disappearance and death of Savannah toddler
Nearly 100 days after the toddler went missing, Quinton's family is waiting on federal investigators, who still have custody of the child's remains while the murder investigation continues.
It all started in early October when Quinton's mother Leilani called 911, claiming someone took the child.
After a week-long search, police announced he was likely dead and that his mother was the prime suspect. That's when investigators turned their efforts to a landfill.
The landfill search went on for more than a month before Quinton's remains were found and positively identified.
It was just before Thanksgiving when Leilani was arrested. She's been behind bars ever since.
Florida-based Sunshine Industries sent the family a custom casket after it was paid for by an anonymous donor.
But for right now, the casket remains empty while authorities continue their investigation.
