KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man is being held on $10 million bond after police were made aware of his missing 7-year-old son and found unidentified human remains on his property.

Michael A. Jones — a 44-year-old Kansas City bail bondsman — made his first court appearance Monday on charges of child abuse, aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a firearm.

Police were called to Jones’ home Wednesday to respond to an unspecified disturbance. While there, investigators were told Jones’ son had been missing.

Police didn’t say who told officers about the boy but that human remains were later found in Jones’ barn. Jones is accused of assaulting a woman and “torturing or cruelly beating” his son.

A district attorney says six other children living in the house were placed in state custody.
