When did Liam Husted go missing?
A NATIONWIDE manhunt has been launched for a 35-year-old mom after her young son's body was found on a Las Vegas hiking trail. Samantha Moreno Rodriguez, 35, is the sole suspect in Liam Husted's shocking murder after his body was found at the end of May. The seven-year-old was last seen on May 26 in Laguna Bay with his mother Samantha. They had left San Jose two days earlier in a 2007 dark blue Dodge Caliber which was "packed full of belongings". A family friend had contacted San Jose police after seeing the e-fit released of the child who had been found on the hiking trail. The FBI had offered up to $10,000 for information that would lead to the identification of Liam, known only as 'Little Zion' at the time, or his assailant. The youngster's father, who police say is not a suspect in the case, contacted authorities on June 1 with concerns about his son's whereabouts - although he was "not trying to get the mother into trouble". Liam Husted's body was discovered on a Mountain Springs hiking trail near Las Vegas early in the morning on May 28. He was found in a "forest area" and police said he was the victim of a homicide.
