The days have been endless for the carr family, especially for the mother of his son. Carr was supposed to attend this photo shoot with his son.
Last week his body was found in a shallow grave in a cornfield in Harding Township. He disappeared in September. His family says Kevin's mother dropped him off to meet someone and they never saw him again.

So I just ask that you think more of the stuff that you do and it it puts you in a position like this it's not worth it," said the victim's girlfriend.

Investigators were able to identify the remains as Carr’s based on a fingerprint. Now the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office is joining Toledo Police on the case.

Sgt. Dave Carter of the Sheriff’s office says it’s tough to say how long the remains were there, but he’s confident they’ll find results.

It has been two years since a Toledo man went missing and later found dead in a cornfield. His family is pleading for new leads in this unsolved murder case.

Answers in this homicide have been tough to come by for loved ones.

"It's hard when you have a child who was 9 months old when he went missing and is two now and is able to ask 'where's my dad? I want to see my dad.' And that's a hard question you have to answer; that it's not going to happen," said Leanda Carr, the victim's fiancée.
