CULVER CITY, Calif. (KABC) -- Police have discontinued the search for the remains of Jacsun Manson, a 6-month old baby whose parents have been charged in connection with the infant's death.

Adam Jackson and Kiana Williams were each charged with one count of child abuse resulting in death by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

On Dec. 31, 2018 Jackson and Williams were suspected of stealing a vehicle from a homeless transitional home in Culver City where they were living. They took off with the child inside.

Court documents are revealing chilling details about the final moments of 6-month old Jacsun Manson, whose body was allegedly dumped in the trash by his parents in Culver City.

Jackson 34, and Williams, 32, were staying in a South Los Angeles motel with their baby son Jacsun on New Year's Eve. The district attorney's office said the two were using drugs and later found their baby was dead.

The pair allegedly put the boy's body in a suitcase and discarded it in a trash dumpster, the DA's office said.

Investigators searched the El Sobrante Landfill in Corona for weeks before concluding their search.

"We make this decision with a heavy heart after an exhaustive investigation was unable to narrow down the possible location of Jacsun's remains within the landfill to a point that would make continuing the search reasonable," according to a news release from Culver City police.

Jacsun was reported missing on Jan. 25.

Bail for Williams and Jackson remains set at $5 million.

They are scheduled to make a court appearance April 25.
