Police found the body of a newborn baby boy in the wild brush of a swamp in Northern California on Wednesday morning - two days after he and his mother were reported missing.
Yolo County sheriff’s deputies discovered 20-day-old Justice Rees near wetlands along the Sacramento River in Knights Landing after a night of searching.
Authorities say that the baby and his mother, 23-year-old Samantha Green, had been reported missing on Monday, but that Green surfaced on Tuesday afternoon after a panicked 911 call.

Villaseñor said although Green seemed disoriented, she explained to him she and the baby had been abducted in town, but that she had no idea how she'd wound up next to the river.
'She was badly bruised,' said Villaseñor. 'She had no shoes. She was kind of left for dead, it seemed like.'
She told him she knew her baby was dead, having frozen to death, and though she said she didn't know the exact location of Justice, she said he was somewhere in the slough.

Cecchettini also said that investigators have not found any indication that the baby had been murdered.
Johnson said that 'foul play is not suspected at this time' as authorities are investigating the incident, including looking into Green's claim she and her baby were abducted, KGO reports.
She was admitted to Woodland Hospital and has since been released.

On Tuesday, Justice's father, Frank Rees posted on Facebook begging Green to come home with the baby.
'If anyone sees my beautiful fiancé [sic] please tell her that EVERYONE is worried sick about her and Justice,' he wrote.
'We love you Samantha. Just come home babe. I miss you and our son sooooo much. Whatever it is you want different we can fix. I love you momma.'
After police identified the body as Justice on Wednesday, the family of the little boy mourned, still in disbelief.
