佐治亚州萨凡纳的警方认为失踪的幼童昆顿·西蒙被遗弃在垃圾箱里，当局现在已经开始在当地的垃圾填埋场搜寻他的尸体。
警方上周表示，他们认为20个月大的昆顿已经死亡，当局将其母亲Leilani Simon列为主要嫌疑人。这个小男孩自10月5日起失踪。
查塔姆县警察局长杰夫·哈德利在周二的新闻发布会上说，没有提出任何指控，并补充说Leilani Simon仍然是唯一的嫌疑人。
“我们还不准备起诉任何人。我们还有工作要做，”他说。
哈德利星期二说，警方已经开始在查塔姆县“对废物管理填埋场进行大规模搜查”。他说，当局认为昆顿“被放在一个特定的垃圾箱里”，最终被带到垃圾填埋场。
联邦调查局的威尔·克拉克说，“我们不只是随机搜查这个垃圾填埋场，”他强调说，证据引导警方找到了这片大地产。
哈德利说，垃圾填埋场是目前搜索的唯一重点。
克拉克补充说，当局没有搜查整个垃圾填埋场。他说，“我们请来了垃圾填埋场搜索专家，引导我们到我们要搜索的特定区域。”
克拉克说，来自亚特兰大和弗吉尼亚州匡提科的联邦调查局特工正在现场协助进行“系统搜索”。
哈德利称这是“一项在身体上、精神上和情感上都令人疲惫不堪的任务”，但他补充说，“我完全相信我们会在这个垃圾填埋场找到他的遗体。”
局长说，昆顿最后一次出现在萨凡纳的家中是在10月5日早上6点左右，是他母亲的男朋友。他说，昆顿的母亲醒来后，在上午9点40分左右报告他失踪。
Missing Georgia toddler allegedly left in dumpster; police searching landfill for his body
Police in Savannah, Georgia, believe missing toddler Quinton Simon was left in a dumpster and authorities have now started scouring the local landfill for his body.
Police last week said they believe 20-month-old Quinton is dead and authorities named his mother, Leilani Simon, as the primary suspect. The little boy has been missing since Oct. 5.
No charges have been filed, Chatham County police chief Jeff Hadley said at a news conference Tuesday, adding that Leilani Simon remains the only suspect.
"We're not ready to charge anyone yet. We still have work to do," he said.
Hadley said Tuesday that police have started an "extensive searchof the waste management landfill" in Chatham County. He said authorities believe Quinton "was placed in a specific dumpster," which was eventually brought to the landfill.
The FBI's Will Clarke said, "We are not just randomly searching this landfill," stressing that evidence led police to the large property.
The landfill is the only focus of the current search, Hadley said.
Clarke added that authorities are not scouring the entire landfill. He said, "We've brought in experts in landfill searches to guide us to the specific area where we'll be searching."
FBI agents from Atlanta and Quantico, Virginia, are on the scene to help conduct the "systematic search," Clarke said.
Hadley called it "a physically, mentally and emotionally grueling task," but he added, "I have every belief that we will find his remains here at the landfill."
Quinton was last seen at his Savannah home around 6 a.m. on Oct. 5 by his mother's boyfriend, the chief said. After Quinton's mother woke up, she reported him missing around 9:40 a.m., he said.
