8/22/2012: Deceased Jake Kimbley (2) Case Update: Two-year-old Jake Kimbley's p
arents, Sabrina and David Kimbley (right), have been ▬►NAMED SUSPECTS in his death. The Kimbley's other three children are in the custody of Child Protective Services tonight.
UPDATE: SMITH COUNTY (KYTX) - We talked with Smith County Justice of the Peace Mitch Shamburger, who gave us the basics on the inquest and the body being found in the septic tank.
We have also talked with a woman who was there for the entire search effort, including her description of the conditions of the home and that Jake's parents were laughing and smiling and didn't help with the search. The other kids in the home were taken by Child Protective Services on Tuesday and remain in CPS custody.
We are also told that an eight-year-old told law enforcement that he watched his dad "kick Jake into a hole." There are reports that a professional septic company came to the scene to open the septic tank before authorities could check for the body.
The parents were questioned by the FBI Tuesday night, and Jake's grandfather was arrested today for being a registered sex offender near kids.
The Tyler Morning Telegraph is reporting on the homicide investigation along with KYTX CBS 19 reporter Field Sutton.
An earlier version of this story attributed certain facts to Sheriff-Elect Larry Smith. Those facts did not come from Smith, and we regret the error.
