<p class="mol-para-with-font">A California man pled guilty Tuesday to killing his 5-year-old son after a family trip to Disneyland set off a two-month search for the boy&#8217;s body.<br />
Prosecutors say Aramazd Andressian Sr., 35, killed his son, Aramazd Andressian Jr., to get back at his estranged wife Ana Estevez while they were going through a divorce.<br />
After investigators repeatedly combed the area surrounding Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County, California, they found the boy&#8217;s remains on June 30. It remains unclear how the boy was killed or what evidence linked the father to the boy&#8217;s death.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Andressian Sr. made national headlines in June when he cracked a joke during his extradition hearing. A police officer also said his behavior was inconsistent with that of a grieving parent.<br />
On Tuesday, Estevez was surrounded by sobbing family members as she wept in the front row of the courtroom while holding the urn with her son&#8217;s ashes.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Andressian Sr., who wore yellow jail scrubs, entered the plea to first-degree murder in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Alhambra.<br />
He previously pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and was being held on $10 million bail.<br />
Los Angeles County sheriff&#8217;s investigators believe the boy was killed in the six-and-a-half hours after he left Disneyland and headed to Lake Cachuma about 150 miles away with his father on April 21.<br />
When Andressian Sr. failed to hand the boy over during a planned custody exchange on April 22, Estevez reported her son missing.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><img src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/missingposter-for-aramazd-andressian-sr-2.jpg?w=620" alt="missingposter for Aramazd Andressian Sr 2.JPG" /><br />
Officials believe the 35-year-old had attempted suicide after he was found alone the following day in Arroyo Seco Park, passed out from prescription pills in a car doused with gasoline.<br />
While Andressian Sr. was unable to account for his son&#8217;s whereabouts, investigators believe the murder was &#8216;pre-planned&#8217; and motivated by the divorce from Estevez.<br />
Investigators searched the area surrounding Lake Cachuma several times before the boy&#8217;s remains were finally discovered on June 30.<br />
Officials have not explained what led them to finally find the body, and how the boy died.</p>

<h6 class="imageCaption"><strong>Los Angeles County Sheriff and South Pasadena Police departments searched a drain in the Arroyo Seco wash in South Pasadena, Calif., looking for five-year-old Aramazd Andressian, Jr. in May</strong></h6>
<p>Andressian Sr. was arrested and released when police didn&#8217;t have enough to keep him behind bars.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">He later moved to Las Vegas, where Lt. Joe Mendoza said his behavior was inconsistent with that of a grieving parent.<br />
&#8216;I can only speak for myself. If my son was missing, I would be doing things that (the boy&#8217;s mother) was doing. Circulating fliers, looking for your son,&#8217; Mendoza said. &#8216;He was not doing that. He was socializing in Vegas.&#8217;<br />
Mendoza also said: &#8216;He has not been cooperative, whatsoever.&#8217;<br />
Investigators also noted that he lightened his hair and appeared to be making plans to travel outside the country in order to avoid extradition.<br />
But Andressian Sr. appeared carefree and made national headlines when he cracked a joke during his extradition hearing in late June.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The judge informed him that California authorities had 30 days starting Tuesday to claim him, but &#8216;obviously given the media they&#8217;re going to come pick you up&#8217;.<br />
Andressian smiled and then laughed when he said: &#8221;They&#8217;ll probably take me with them!&#8217;<br />
Estevez spoke to <a class="" href="http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/South-Pasadena-missing-boy-father-extradition-hearing-Las-Vegas-431033873.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">NBC4</a> after Andressian&#8217;s bizarre court appearance and said: &#8216;No justice in the world will bring my Piqui back,&#8217; Estevez said, using her son&#8217;s nickname. &#8216;However, Ara will pay tenfold for all that he has done.&#8217;<br />
She also released a statement saying: &#8216;My heart is shattered and I will miss my son immensely each and every second of every day for the rest of my life.&#8217;</p>
