The city of Maryville will hold a graveside memorial service for an infant that was found at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park last month.

On the morning of May 25th, a Park employee discovered the body of a deceased male infant while performing routine maintenance.

Maryville Police responded immediately and identified a non-local person of interest in the case. Law enforcement is awaiting DNA analysis from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime Lab.

Once the DNA and autopsy results are received, the case will be forwarded to the Nodaway County Prosecutor’s Office.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact Maryville Police.

The City of Maryville will hold a graveside memorial service for the infant this Thursday at 1:00 p.m. at Oak Hill Cemetery.
