Missing Baby in South Carolina Found Buried Alive a Day After Authorities Say His Father Took Him
Koah Sharpe was found alive in a buried dog crate after more than 24 hours, and deputies said his father faces possible additional charges.
- An 11-month-old reported missing near Batesburg-Leesville was found alive on Tuesday, buried in a 2-foot-by-2-foot dog crate near his father's home in South Carolina, the Lexington County Sheriff's Department said.
- Michael Comer took Koah Sharpe on Monday afternoon while his mother ran an errand. Authorities arrested Comer that night on burglary and resisting arrest charges, but the child was not with him.
- According to investigators, Koah spent more than 24 hours buried in the dirt. The infant was found wrapped in a towel inside the crate, which authorities said probably created an air pocket for survival.
- Koah is currently recovering in the hospital, though no updates on his condition have been released. Deputies say there could be additional charges against Comer, with a bond hearing expected.
- Officials said Comer "didn't have much to say about the whereabouts" of Koah during questioning. Investigators continue working with prosecutors on additional charges as the case proceeds.
