The parents of a 7-year-old boy found dead inside of a washing machine at a Spring home were released late Thursday & have currently not been charged.

Troy Khoeler was reported missing around around 5:20 a.m. on Thursday morning. Deputies initially searched outside the home & canvassed the neighborhood for almost 2 hours before going back into the residence to search again.

The boy was found full clothed inside a top-load washing machine inside of the garage.

Jermaine Thomas, the boy's father, detailed the moments he came back home Wednesday night & found the front door of the home unlocked.

"It's just that I came home, I was fixin’ to walk in the door like right now, I don't have my keys but I put my keys to the door handle and then it just opened,” he said. “Anything else after that, I don't know."

The family has a prior history with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The details of that history are confidential.

The parents, who adopted the boy, were released after spending the majority of Thursday being separately questioned by investigators. Neither of them is currently being charged with a crime pending the autopsy results from the Harris County medical examiner.
