BREATHITT COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Seven days after Jayden Spicer's mother Felicia Gross reported him missing, she was arrested for his murder. On Wednesday night, the 10-year-old boy's loved ones held a vigil at Lester Smith Memorial Park in Jackson.

“It’s a nightmare I can’t wake up from, it doesn’t seem real,” said Jayden's aunt, Samantha Brunty.

Those who attended wrote messages on a poster of love and a hope for peace.

“I just hope that baby can his final moments of resting and everyone can know he’s safe,” said Jayden's aunt Chy Salyers. “We spent hours that night until 2 or 3 in the morning looking for Jayden, we were dedicated, and to know she knew where he was that whole time, we can’t stomach it.”

Family friend Tasha Shepherd told LEX18 she was there the day Jayden was born.
