Jordan 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Dupre Collins Senior faced arraignment on second degree murder charges 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: in Anoka County Court on Wednesday, as confirmed by the 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Anoka County Sheriff's Office. He is being held on a 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: bill of two million dollars according to the Sheriff's office. Currently, 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: there has been no confirmation regarding his plea. Collins, who 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: was taken into custody on July seventh, is accused in 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: the murder of his sixteen year old son, Jordan Manny 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: Collins Junior. The boys remains were discovered after an extensive 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: search of a landfill in Elk River, Minnesota, which lasted 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: nearly a month. As announced by the Sheriff's office, the 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: last sighting of the teen was on May eighth in 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: a Columbia Heights neighborhood, and he was reported missing four 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: days later. During a press conference, Andoka County Sheriff Brad 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Wise revealed that investigators had obtained video evidence suggesting that 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: the boy's body may have ended up in a dumpster 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: and subsequently in a garbage truck. A criminal complaint filed 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: this week, which was reviewed by the Minnesota Public Radio 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: and KTSBTV, indicated that a preliminary autopsy revealed signs of decapitation. Additionally, 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: investigators discovered knives and blood stained items during a search 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: of Collin's home on May seventeen, which subsequently tests confirmed 25 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: that the blood belonged to his son. For more, here's 26 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: the sheriff. 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: Manny Collins, aged sixteen, of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, was last 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: seen on May eighth, twenty twenty five, and reported missing 29 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: on May twelfth, twenty twenty five. Since law enforcement's involvement, 30 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: multiple individuals have been interviewed, evidence has been forensically analyzed, 31 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: and coordinated searches have occurred. The investigation led law enforcement 32 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: to search the Waste Management landfill and Elk River beginning 33 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: on June fourth, twenty twenty five. While conducting landfill search 34 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: this past weekend, a human body was located. Further DNA 35 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 2: testing was conducted and sadly, the body has been identified 36 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: as belonging to many colins. 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: For more here, Sheriff brad Wise. 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: We call this press conference because obviously we no longer 39 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: need the public's assistance to try to find many. Unfortunately, 40 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: he's been fortunately and unfortunately he's been found. I want 41 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: the public to know also that the investigation is not stagnant. 42 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 3: I think the fact that a four week search of 43 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: the landfill illustrates pretty clearly the tenacity of law enforcement 44 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: and bringing justice. This is a complex investigation. We literally 45 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: come through at this point almost one hundred and eighty 46 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: thousand cubic feet of refuse, literally one rake at a time. 47 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: The father reportedly told investigators at the last time he 48 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: saw his son was May eighth, when the boy left 49 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: their home. Authorities also traced a garbage truck that collected 50 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: waste from behind the father's apartment on May thirteen, which 51 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: ultimately led them to that landfill. According to the complaint, 52 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: the motive behind the alleged crime remains unclear. In the 53 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: wake of the boy's disappearance, a GoFundMe campaign was established 54 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: to support his mother, Ashley Berry. She called him a 55 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: really good kid. Anyone who knows him knew he had 56 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: an old soul. He will be loved and missed forever. 57 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: She said. The investigation remains ongoing. His father is still 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: behind bars.

In 77 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: the aftermath of the incident, investigators with the Sheriff's Office 78 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: arrested twenty eight year old Taylor Dickinson on charges of 79 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: attempted murder and child abuse, neglect or endangerment.
