Aaron Ramsey told police he found the boy unconscious on the floor and dumped the body in Ennis County. Police discovered a body Saturday after a three-week search, the TV station said.

Johnathan's grandmother, Julie Ramsey, told NBC: "I can't imagine Aaron letting that happen. He was his pride and joy. He wanted to be a father."
