A two-month-old North Port, Florida boy is missing and his parents aren’t giving officials the answers they need in hopes of finding him.
Kristen Bury and Joseph Walsh, the parents of Chance Walsh, have told police and family members multiple stores: that the child died in a car crash, that they gave him away, and even that Chance is OK.
However, relatives and neighbours of the two-month-old haven’t seen him in a month.
“Nobody knows what really happened,” told Natalia Petrovets to WTSP News about the boy’s disappearance.

A police dog took part in the investigation at the family residence and was alerted to the smell of possible human remains, according to records obtained by WTSP.
The findings went on to show blood was inside the home, including on a bed, door and walls. It is not yet known if the blood is that of baby Chance.
Captain Charlie Thorpe with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said Bury and Walsh have been telling story after story of what might’ve happened to their son, but nothing that leads to the discovery of the infant.
“They had informed us they had given the child away because they were robbed in Augusta, Georgia,” told Thorpe to WTSP.
Investigators found out the parents had been in Georgia, and that they tried to sell Chance’s clothing after telling a hotel owner he had died. They then told family members Chance had passed away when they got into a car crash in Hardeeville, South Carolina.
“Hardeeville PD let us know there was no child in that car,” Thorpe said.
Bury and Walsh both have criminal histories involving drugs and theft.
Both parents have been arrested and charged with child neglect while the investigation in the boy’s disappearance continues.
