An Oregon father allegedly admitted on Sunday to killing his 11-month-old son after falsely reporting him missing.

Jared Stoller, 27, called Sutherland police, claiming he woke up and his baby was missing from a room at the Relax Inn.

Stoller said his son had been sleeping in a car seat in the room, which had a window pushed in.

However, once at the police station, Stoller admitted to lying about the suspected kidnapping.

He then confessed to killing his infant son days earlier and dumping his body in the South Umpqua River.

While Stoller initially told police that his son died during co-sleeping, he later confessed to manually strangling his son.

Stoller also agreed to take police to the river, where they eventually located the infant's body.

An autopsy is pending.

Stoller is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree abuse of a corpse.

He's due in court later

today.

The suspect in the murder of an 87-year-old Alaska man on Saturday was found dead in the woods not far away a day later.

Matthew Thomas Becker, 61, was the ex-son-in-law of the man he killed, Romaine Clark.

Anchorage police believe he gunned Clark down minutes after trying to kill his ex-wife as she tried to open her Anchorage hair salon.

The ex-wife told police that Becker had been living in Arizona since they divorced, and she was unaware he had come back to Alaska.

The woman contacted police and said she was concerned about her elderly father who lived with her.

Police say Becker apparently went directly to the home after failing to kill his ex-wife.

Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case said, "...based on preliminary evidence, it appears the suspect went to the rear of the residence, fired a couple of rounds through a plate glass window, striking and killing the victim, and then fleeing the scene."

Friends who had planned an outing with the older man found Clark's body minutes before police arrived on the scene.

Case said officers were hailed by friends who were waiting to meet up with the victim, who went inside the residence because he hadn't come out yet.
