The NYPD and New York State Police are digging through a landfill in upstate New York as part of the search for a missing 11-year-old autistic boy from Brooklyn, law enforcement sources have confirmed.

It is unclear what led investigators to the High Acres Landfill in Parinton, N.Y., located about 14 miles east of Rochester, though it is one of many dumping sites for refuse hauled out of New York City.

The child, Jacob Pritchett, may have been missing for more than a month, since mid-August, with the boy’s mother telling police she had no child , sources said.

The city’s Administration for Child Services began investigating Pritchett’s case after a tipster reached out through a state hotline with concern for the child’s welfare, police sources told the Daily News.
