WICHITA, Kan.—Kansas child welfare authorities investigated two reports of possible abuse or neglect involving a Wichita couple in the 17 months before their 3-year-old son was found dead in his crib.

The Kansas Department of Children and Families on Thursday, April 26, completed its investigation into the April 12 death of Zaiden Javonovich, who authorities believe was dead days before his body was discovered.
