A Clark County judge denied bail to the man who is suspected of murdering Amari Nicholson , a 2-year-old boy and son of his girlfriend who disappeared on 5 May in Las Vegas .
Terrell Rhodes, from 27 years old, was arrested Tuesday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after investigators found evidence that little Amari had been murdered.
But the authorities remained naive about the case and have not yet reported anything about the body or remains of the child , whose disappearance motivated city volunteer crusades and a reward of $ 30, 000 dollars offered by the child’s paternal family.

This Wednesday, in a Brief 2-minute court appearance, the judge denied Rhodes bail, while Clark County prosecutors said the suspect lied for a week about what happened at an Emerald Suites apartment , near the Las Vegas Strip, and that he hid the body.
It was said without further details that blood was found on the walls and clothes of the child with spots .
