The remains of two-year-old Thaddeus Sran are believed to have been found have been found on Thursday morning, according to Madera County authorities. 

The Madera Police Department said human remains of a child between the ages of two and three were found at about 9:15 a.m. by cadaver dogs in a rural area, but did not provide further information.

Officials are yet to confirm if those were really the remains of the two-year-old Californian boy, pending testing results.

"It's a very strong possibility that it is little Thaddeus," Police Chief Dino Lawson was quoted in a Fox News report.

Sran was reported missing by his parents on July 15 after he disappeared from their home in Madera. His parents told the police that they put the boy to bed around 10 p.m. and then discovered him missing the next morning.

Madera police said on Tuesday that the parents had stopped cooperating with investigators. "We believe their assistance, in this case, would be helpful," the department was quoted in a statement.

Madera police said they hoped Sran's parents would continue to cooperate with the police detectives to help them find the boy.

Madera Police Lt. Josiah Arnold told Fox News that the couple had an infant daughter, who died in 2015. The case regarding her death remains open.

Sran was born premature and needed a feeding tube to eat. He was described as nonverbal and had just learned how to walk, according to police.

Lawson said there are a number of possibilities connected to the boy's disappearance. He added that everything is still on the table and they are not ruling out anything.

Sran's Disappearance

Sran was reported missing on July 15 from his home in California's San Joaquin Valley. Police said he might have disappeared sometime between 10 p.m. July 14 and 8:30 a.m. the next morning.

Lawson said the time is not on their side right now. "It could be that he got out of the house, it could be that he was abducted. Everything is on the table. We're looking at everything and we're leaving no stone unturned, " Lawson was quoted.

The department said it has reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for assistance on the case. 

Meanwhile, Sran's parents issued their statements through their lawyer. Their lawyer said Sran's parents have remained fully cooperative with the investigation and that they just want their child home.

"I am advised by the Srans that thereafter, no further effort was made by members of law enforcement to personally speak with them further," the lawyer said in a statement.

Lawson replied by saying that he stands by what their department released. He said that any deviation from it, he wouldn't believe it.

Community search

Neighbors said that Sran's family just moved a couple of weeks ago. Several community members helped in the search and spread the word.

Victoria Castana led volunteers on a community-organized search Friday evening. Jessica Gonzales brought her kids to pass out flyers in the area, where Sran went missing from.

Gonzales said Sran is just an innocent baby, who does not know anything. She added that he has "special needs."
