The man and the woman, who were the two "people of interest" the Edmonton Police Service were looking for earlier in the day, were arrested Saturday evening and are in police custody. Their names have not been released. Charges are pending against both, as investigators try to determine the relationship between the two and the little boy, police said. The toddler was found in the area of 155th Avenue and Castledowns Road Friday around 2.30 p.m., near the Good Shepherd Anglican Church. Police believe the boy was left in the area on April 18, three days prior to when he was found. EPS released photos Friday of clothes the toddler was wearing in hopes the public could identify him. Police released photos Saturday afternoon of two people of interest: a man and a woman. In the photo, one person is pushing a stroller near the entrance of a grocery store in the area where the boy's body was found. These photos were taken on Monday, April 17, EPS spokesperson Cheryl Sheppard said Saturday.
