Mother arrested over 2-year-old boy found buried in CT Park: Police

The mother of a two-year-old boy found buried in a Connecticut park earlier this year has been arrested in connection with the case, police said.

On Friday morning, Stamford Police Department Major Crime Investigators arrested 29-year-old Iris Rivera-Santos for harming a minor, obstructing prosecution, falsifying evidence and mistreating people.

The arrest and charges come after an extensive investigation into Liam Rivera, a toddler found buried in Cummings Park on Jan. 2.

Rivera-Santos is currently in the custody of the Stamford Police Department on $1 million bail, police said.

The boy’s father, 26-year-old Edgar Ismaley-Gomez, is in custody with the Connecticut Department of Corrections following a previous arrest for violating probation.

The investigation is ongoing.

Information about the lawyers of Rivera-Santos and Ismaley-Gomez did not immediately become known.
