A lawyer representing Brandon’s father, D.J. Creato, told the Inquirer that Creato was interviewed by police and is not considered a suspect in his son’s death.
D.J. Creato called 911 around 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13 to report his son missing.
“The door was locked,” Creato says in a recording of the call. “I guess heunlocked it and left.”
The toddler was found dead three hours later in Cooper River Park, a wooded area of Haddown Township, N.J.. He was located that morning by a K-9 unit from the Delaware River Port Authority, prosecutors said.
