Court papers reveal a mother's intuition led to the discovery of her 15-year-old unresponsive son inside the home of his stepfather Baltimore officer Eric Banks.
The mother told Anne Arundel County police when she couldn't reach her son, Dasan Jones by phone, she believed he was being held against his will.
Banks initially told police Jones wasn't there and had left his packed bags at the back door. Charging documents show Banks gave police permission to search his home.
In a loft on the top floor, officers saw a hole in the wall with a white cover. Banks advised it was his gun safe. Officers looked inside and saw a body, later identified as Jones. An autopsy is underway.
