Dayton police and fire personnel used water rescue rafts and a helicopter on Saturday to search the Great Miami River for Zaden McKnight.
The body of the boy’s mother was discovered April 11 near the banks of the Stillwater River in the Dayton suburb of Harrison Township. Police say 25-year-old Nichelle McKnight and her son vanished in March.
Police say a suspect in the disappearances died of a self-inflicted gunshot in a shootout with police April 7.
