DODGE CITY, Kan. (KSNW) — The Dodge City Police Department has released new details in the Cody Ceniceros case.
The 17-year-old disappeared on Nov. 24 from his home in Dodge City. His body was found on Dec. 19 inside his crashed 1999 Chevy Tracker in a farm field near Lariat Way and 117 Road southeast of Dodge City.
