Residents of a small rural Idaho town of turn out in force to join authorities searching for a 5-year-old boy reported missing. He was last seen in a field near his family home. Ultimately, tips lead police to the home of a neighbor, Sarah Wondra.  Police spent more than a week excavating the home's backyard. FPD Chief JD Huff says police believe Vaughan's body was buried in Wondra's backyard and then moved to another location.  All the cadaver dogs used in the search "alerted" in the yard. Ground penetrating radar also detected "anomalies." Additional evidence was found in the home.

Now Sarah Wondra's husband, Stacey, is charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, destruction of evidence and more.   He pleaded not guilty to all counts.   

In the last days,  the judge overseeing Wondra's preliminary hearing  found probable cause that he kidnapped and killed Michael Vaughan, then destroyed evidence.  During closing arguments the prosecution alleged Michael died by suffocation.
