A California father and mother killed their 11-year-old son almost four years ago in El Dorado County and then reported the boy missing.

Investigators found Roman Anthony Lopez hidden in a storage bin in the family’s basement later that same day. The couple were charged with torture and child abuse over his death in February 2021. Then, some six months later, in October 2021, Jordan Thomas Piper, 38, and his wife, Lindsay Piper, 40, were also charged with Roman’s murder.

On Thursday, Jordan Piper formally admitted to what he had done.
