A Texas couple fled to Mexico after a failed attempt to raise a starved toddler from the dead, police said.
Officers received an anonymous tip March 26 that the 2-year-old boy had died nearly a week earlier but was not reported, according to NBC News.
Police went to a Balch Springs home, which also operated as a church, where they were told a “rising ceremony” had been performed four days earlier in an attempt to resurrect him, the network reported.
The child’s body was taken to Mexico the next day by his parents and other members of the Congregacional Pueblo De Dios, police said.
Investigators have not yet located the parents or church congregants.
