Search for missing boy, 2, after parents die in 'murder-suicide' in car

Detectives in the US are desperately searching for a two-year-old boy whose parents died in an apparent murder-suicide.

Daniel Salcido and Hannah Janiak were found dead in their car in Montana, Oregon, moments after they tried to evade police.

Police believe Salcido shot his partner in the head before turning the gun on himself on Wednesday night.

But authorities have no idea where the couple's son Aidan Castiel Salcido is.

In the weeks before their deaths, it is believed the homeless family had been living in a tent.

Salcido, 21, and Janiak, 24, were wanted on felony warrants for burglary when they were stopped by officers.

They were reported missing on June 11, when Janiak failed to show up in court in Oregon for sentencing, when she was due to be sent to jail.

The car tried to speed away, but the tyres were spiked by police.

When officers got to the car, both people inside were dead.

In a statement the Kalispell Police Department said: "Investigators are greatly concerned for Aiden's welfare and are asking for the public's help in locating him safely and expeditiously."

Police continued: "Hannah was described as a good mother. Family also said the trio were homeless and would camp along the greenway in Medford."
