Chatham police said on Wednesday. ...We knew going into this landfill search, the odds of recovering Quinton's remains were low. ...Most landfill searches do not end in a recovery due to many factors including volume of trash to search and compression of the debris, however we stay focused....

Cops also shared a new photo from the dig site, which featured a picture of Quinton hung on the side of a trailer as FBI agents continued their tireless work. QUINTON'S MOM BREAKS HER SILENCE Mom Leilani spoke out for the first time on October 24 following Quinton's disappearance from her Savannah home. Her remarks followed an outcry of online and in-person criticism from people watching the case closely. Protesters holding signs saying ...Justice for Quinton... have been seen outside Leilani's family home, where she lives with her mother, Billie Jo Howell. Four people believed to have been criticizing Leilani were arrested for antagonizing the family as people gathered outside the home where they were mourning. Leilani and Billie Jo said that people were disrespecting the memory of Quinton and begged for peace as they try to comprehend the horrifying events. ...It makes it hard to even process what's going around us,... Leilani told WRDW through tears. ...We get to the point where we have to barricade our own home in order to even feel safe in our backyard because we can't even process what is happening everywhere else or even have the time to do so. ...I can't even walk out and appreciate my own son's memorial or put down gifts that I got for him. ...I can't even go out there and do that without harassment and negligence and everything. ...It's just devastating to see that this is how the outside world reacts.... While people continue to question Leilani's involvement in the case, she said that she isn't going anywhere and is desperate for officials to find answers. ...I'm here.
