The parents were alerted about their son after a church member mentioned that he was missing from a bible study class.

Following the discovery of the toddler inside the car, the father brought his corpse into the church.

A church member, Reng Om, tells CBS Dallas:

"He was grabbing his kid, and the kid would not move, and saying 'I need somebody help, call the police." I think he wanted to call police but he doesn't speak English.

"They are a perfect family. I'm very upset for him. The kids like to read the Bible. I'm really upset for family."
