A frantic search continues Sunday for a 2-month-old who disappeared from his home late last week.Jon Cecil Anthony Frazier was discovered missing from his home in the Whatcom County town of Custer early Friday morning.The
Whatcom County Sheriff's Office said the baby's grandmother reported
him missing after her son called and told her that he woke up and the
baby was gone.Search crews have been combing the area near Custer since Friday for any signs of the baby.Search
and rescue crews looked near the home by flashlight into the night
Saturday near the trailer where Jon Frazier told deputies he put his
son to bed Thursday night.Frazier told police that when he awoke Friday morning, the baby was gone. The door to the trailer was found open."He
called family members, and nobody took the child. He hasn't been able
to locate anyone who has knowledge of who took the child," said George
Ratayczak, Whatcom County search and rescue coordinator.Searchers found nothing Saturday night.Don Kleindel, a relative of the family, told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News the family is “devastated.”"The
parents were great. They loved little Cecil. They were doing a great
job with him -- definitely loved him as well as the rest of the
family," Kleindel said.The FBI has joined the investigation.Investigators
said Cecil's mother could not have taken him because she reported to
jail hours before he disappeared to serve time on a robbery charge.Search and rescue teams were expected to continue their work Sunday morning.

The father of a missing 2-month-old infant, whose body was found in a wooded area in the 7100 block of Dahlberg Road, Sunday Aug. 30, has been arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder.
Jonathon V. Frazier, 42, was booked into Whatcom County Jail late Sunday evening.
The body of Jon "Cecil" Anthony Frazier was located at about 1 p.m. Sunday on private property about a mile away from the trailer where the boy and his father lived. The boy's mother, Brooke K. Johnson, 26, had reported to Whatcom County Jail the previous morning to await transfer to a state prison on a robbery conviction.

The infant was reported missing from the 1100 block of Willey's Lake Road, east of Custer by his grandmother at about 8:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 28. Frazier had told authorities he had awoken to discover that the boy was missing and the door of the trailer was open.
Whatcom County Sheriff's deputies, special agents from the FBI and representatives from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children began a criminal investigation which led to information of where the child's body was located, Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo said.
Elfo declined to elaborate on the nature of the information or how it was obtained.

The father who claimed his 2-month-old baby boy mysteriously vanished
was ordered held Monday on $1 million bail on suspicion of
second-degree murder and felony assault in connection with the infant's
death, authorities in Whatcom County said.An autopsy showed Jon
Cecil Anthony Frazier suffered a broken femur and massive blunt force
trauma to his head, according to court documents citing findings from
the Whatcom County Medical Examiner's office.
The autopsy indicated the baby was swung by his leg and struck something,
contradicting his father's claim that he accidentally rolled over the
child while the two slept, according to the documents.The
father, 42-year-old Jonathan V. Frazier, placed the baby near a home
belonging to an ex-boyfriend of the child's mother in hopes police
would finger the ex-boyfriend, according to prosecutors.Frazier is scheduled for arraignment a week from Friday.Frazier has seven prior felony convictions and seven failures to appear in court.Frazier first told deputies that he put the boy to bed Thursday night and awoke Friday to find him missing.Investigators said the story didn't made sense."I think it's safe to assume it involves criminal activity, and that's why
it was investigated. Any plausible or reasonable satisfactory answer
for the child's disappearance was not apparent," Whatcom County Sheriff
Bill Elfo said.For three days, hundreds of searchers looked for
the baby, until the child's body was found in a wooded area about three
miles from his home.Investigators would not say who told them
the baby's body was hidden, but they said Frazier is cooperating with
the investigation and answering questions.The baby's mother was
never questioned about the case because she checked in to serve a
prison sentence for robbery the day before Cecil was reported missing.Relatives called both great parents."I've seen them interact with him. Both parents did a great job with baby
Cecil. They really did," said Don Kleindel, a relative of the family.Relatives said the baby's father had lots of family support."He had plenty of help to raise little Baby Cecil. In fact, the
grandparents had already been talking about which days and so forth to
watch the baby and very supportive of Vince in raising the child by
himself," said Kleindel.A spokesperson for the baby's family
said Monday, "We continue to rely on God’s strength and His grace to
help us during this time of sorrow. Our faith remains strong even with
so many unanswered questions. We will put our love and support into the
family as we make arrangements for the funeral and the grieving period
that will follow. Thank you for all your prayers and support."

A Whatcom County man allegedly killed his infant son because he felt "frustrated and overwhelmed" after his wife didn't finish day care arrangements for the child before reporting to the Whatcom County Jail on Thursday, Aug. 27.
Jonathan V. Frazier, 42, was charged with second-degree murder Tuesday for allegedly causing the death of his 10-week-old son, Jon.
The child was reported missing Friday morning and was found dead Sunday afternoon near Custer.
The baby died of massive head injuries Thursday night or early Friday morning, according to a preliminary report from Whatcom County Medical Examiner Dr. Gary Goldfogel.
Frazier told Whatcom County Sheriff's detectives he swung the child into a door, a wall and a bed frame, according to charging documents filed in Whatcom County Superior Court.
Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Mac Setter said Frazier's statement of feeling frustrated and overwhelmed was the only explanation he's offered for allegedly killing his son.
Frazier's wife, Brooke K. Johnson, 26, reported to the jail Thursday to await transfer to a state prison where she'll serve a sentence for a second-degree robbery conviction.
Setter said he opted to charge Frazier with second-degree murder because he couldn't establish that Frazier had planned to kill the child, an element of first-degree murder.
"There was simply no evidence that he had planned this beforehand," Setter said. "I don't know why he did that. We don't have to establish motive."
According to the charging documents:
Neighbors were drinking liquor with Frazier in his doublewide trailer in the 1100 block of Willeys Lake Road Thursday night - the last time the child was seen alive.
The child's grandmother reported him missing Friday morning, which led to a three-day search of the area.
Frazier originally told detectives he put the child to bed Thursday night, got up to feed him during the night, and woke Friday morning to find his trailer's door open and the child gone.
On Sunday, Frazier changed his story, and told a family member he had fallen off his bed at some point in the night and woke up to find his son underneath him and suffocated.
He told the family member he didn't know what to do, so he wrapped the child in a blanket and dropped him off in a driveway several miles from his home.
The family member reported this to detectives, who set out to locate the child. They found the baby as described and re-interviewed Frazier.
Frazier repeated that the boy had suffocated until detectives told him about the baby's head injury. He then admitted to swinging the child around.
He told the detectives he dropped the baby off by the home of his wife's ex-boyfriend in the hope of implicating him in the infant's death. He said he then returned to the trailer to clean up evidence.

A vigil for a slain baby boy will be held outside the Whatcom County Courthouse Friday morning, Sept. 11.Jon
"Cecil" Anthony Frazier was found dead near Custer Aug. 30, and his
father, Jonathan, has been charged with murdering the infant.The
vigil is intended to commemorate the boy's life but is also aimed at
educating the community on issues related to child abuse, said Rachel
Kennedy, who helped organize the event.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. and will last until about 11 a.m.,
Kennedy said. A candlelight vigil will be held at 9:30 a.m.Jonathan
Frazier will be arraigned on a second-degree murder charge in Superior
Court that morning. He is currently being held in the Whatcom County
Jail in lieu of $1 million bail.

Father pleads not guilty in baby's death

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - A man accused in the brutal death of his infant son pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges Friday morning.

The accused father, John Vincent Frazier, showed very little emotion at the hearing in Whatcom County Superior Court as he heard the charge and entered his plea.


Jon "Cecil" Anthony Frazier
But outside the courthouse, it was a completely different story - emotions were running high as citizens remembered the young life at the center of the court case.

"It's really rocked the community," said one woman, Rachel Kennedy. "Everybody has felt the loss of this child's life."

"We want to remember the baby," she added.

Along the sidewalk outside the courthouse, Kennedy and other community members held a vigil for the 2-month-old infant, Jon Anthony Frazier - or "Cecil," as he was called.

The baby's photo was there, along with ribbons and candles placed in his memory.

Baby Cecil's small, broken body was found in a wooded area near Ferndale last month.

According to police, the boys's father first claimed he woke up to find the boy was missing from their trailer.

Then, a few days later, prosecutors say, his story changed. Frazier allegedly told police he woke up with the boy suffocated underneath him.

But after an autopsy, prosecutors said Frazier's story didn't add up, because the baby's injuries didn't match the account Frazier gave of the circumstances surrounding the boy's death.

Authorities believe the baby was swung by his leg and hit in the head.

The gory details are too much for some community members to handle. So rather than looking back, they said they're looking forward.

"We don't want to concentrate on how this happened. We want to concentrate on why it happened and reach out to the community so maybe we can save one child's life," Kennedy said.

Vigil organizers handed out flyers about child abuse statistics to support groups and reaching out for help. They're trying to do anything to prevent this from happening again.

"We wanted to be able to get the word out and make sure this doesn't happen to any other child again," said organizer Stefanie Smith. "With all the resources that are here, there's no excuse for a child's life to end in death."

can't find anything about his trial, verdict or sentence

How dare this scum plead not guilty. Not even man enough to feel remorse and plead guilty and accept his due punishment for what he did. We need to take a serious stand to protect children and speak up and tell our governments it's not acceptable to send a baby home from hospital to be raised by lowlife crims. What do we expect the outcome to be FGS? Either this sort of horrible end or another criminal to deal with later.
