According to a search warrant filed April 29, “the investigators who had examined [A.J.’s father’s] phone” uncovered an intriguing search history from April 15 “at approximately 3:17 a.m. in which there were several searches conducted in quick succession” on Google.
“There were several consecutive searches for ‘child cor’ and ultimately for ‘child cpr,'” the document continues.
These disturbing new details have come to light in the wake of A.J.’s parents’ arrests on murder and other charges.
Andrew Freund, Sr., 60, and A.J.’s mother, JoAnn Cunningham, 36, are each being held on $5 million bond.
The new filing alleges both parents confessed to police after being confronted with a “forensic analysis of cell phone data,” which showed their phones pinged near where the boy’s body was discovered.

According to the new documents, A.J.’s brother allegedly told police that when he asked his mother what had happened to his sibling, she told him A.J. had taken a nasty spill “down the stairs and had a lot of owies.”
Attorneys for the couple could not be reached for comment.
This week, family members issued a statement about the child’s untimely death through their attorney.
