Evidence Removed from Apartment Where Missing Corona Boy Lived

CORONA (CNS) - Evidence was removed from the Corona apartment where a
missing 8-year-old boy lived, but police did not give an indication this
morning what the item was before it was loaded onto a police truck.
   The item, taken from the apartment Monday night in the 4500 block of
Temescal Canyon Road, was described as large and apparently heavy, wrapped in a
blue tarp, NBC4 said.
   Police also called in a plumber with camera equipment, but did not
disclose the reason or what they searched for, ABC7 reported. An update on the
case was expected today.
   Noah McIntosh was last seen just over two weeks ago in the 4600 block
of Temescal Canyon Road, according to Corona police Sgt. Chad Fountain.
   His parents, Bryce Daniel McIntosh, 32, and Jillian Marie Godfrey, 36,
both of Corona, were arrested Wednesday in connection with the
disappearance of their son and both were charged Friday with felony child
endangerment.
   The pair made a joint initial court appearance Friday afternoon,
during which Riverside County Superior Court Judge OG Magno appointed them a
public defender and scheduled their arraignment for April 8 at the Riverside
Hall of Justice. Both defendants are being held at the Robert Presley Detention
Center in downtown Riverside -- McIntosh on $1 million bail, and Godfrey on
$500,000 bail.
   Corona police detectives interviewed them Thursday, trying to
ascertain what had become of Noah. There was no word on whether any new
information was forthcoming.
   ``I have my suspicions, but they're just suspicions. I really don't
know,'' Doug Godfrey, the boy's grandfather and Jillian Godfrey's father, told
ABC7 Thursday.
   Godfrey went to the police department with his wife, Noah's
grandmother, who tearfully told reporters that she and her husband had ``raised
him since he was born.''
   ``He has a terrible temper,'' Doug Godfrey said, referring to
McIntosh. ``I think that it got the best of him.''
   Detectives were prompted to look for the 8-year-old after receiving a
call last week from undisclosed parties seeking help locating him, Fountain
said.
   Investigators first questioned Jillian Godfrey at her residence
Tuesday and then went to McIntosh's unit at the Encanto Apartments in the 4500
block of Temescal Canyon, according to Fountain.
   He said despite ``numerous attempts'' to make contact with McIntosh,
the defendant refused to speak with police.
   On Wednesday morning, officers served a search warrant at the location
and found McIntosh inside the apartment with his 11-year-old daughter,
whose identity was not released.
   There was no sign of Noah, the sergeant said.
   He said based on the initial investigation, detectives determined
there was sufficient evidence to justify arresting the parents for alleged
child abuse.
