Carnel ChamberlainMOUNT PLEASANT, MI (WNEM) -
Family members now say the mother of Carnel Chamberlain is not on the run or hiding from police.
Family members recently said that 21-year-old Jaimee Chamberlain hadn't been seen lately.
She's the mother of 4-year-old Carnel, the young boy whose charred remains were found underneath the porch of his home where he lived with his mother on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation near Mount Pleasant.
According to the Saginaw News, Jaimee's sister says she is working side-by-side with the FBI during their investigation.
Jaimee's boyfriend, 20-year-old Anthony Bennett, faces charges of abuse. He also lived with Jaimee and Carnel at the house where the boy's badly burned body was discovered. Carnel was in the care of Bennett when he was last seen two weeks ago.
Right now Bennett is being held in the Bay County Jail without bond.
Currently Bennett is not facing any charges in connection with Carnel's death.
Carnel's family has scheduled a memorial service for the boy this coming Sunday, July 15, at the Soaring Eagle Casino concert hall.
