Quinton Simon is a toddler that has been missing from Georgia since October 2022. Remains were found in a landfill in Savanah, Georgia on November 21, 2022. They have been confirmed as Quinton’s bones through DNA testing. His mother, Leilani Simon, has been arrested for his murder.
The 20-month-old boy was originally reported missing on the morning of Oct. 5 by his mother, 22-year-old Leilani Simon, who has since been arrested and charged with malice murder, concealing the death of another person, and other charges.
The little boy’s remains were found on Nov. 18 following a 30-day search through the Superior Landfill, a process that authorities called “more grueling than anyone could have imagined.”
During that search, investigators combed through 1.2 million pounds of trash in “grueling and hazardous” working conditions.
Leilani was made a prime suspect early on in the investigation. She was arrested on November 21. Quinton lived with his mother, her boyfriend, both his maternal grandparents, and siblings.
Leilani Simon told a police dispatcher later that morning that she awoke to find her son gone and believed someone had entered the room and taken him, according to local news outlet WCJL.
Law enforcement officers from the FBI, Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Department of Natural resources, and other agencies assisted in the investigation and search for the toddler.
The Chatham County District Attorney is prosecuting Simon for murder and other charges.
Hopefully, Quinton will receive justice soon. His murder is still being investigated and there has not been a court date set.
