Lexington County Finds Missing Infant Alive After 24-Hour Search
Nearly 100 searchers rescued the infant from a buried wire crate, a makeshift container that likely provided necessary air for his survival, officials said.
- On Tuesday, authorities in Lexington County found 11-month-old Koah Sharpe alive, roughly 24 hours after he went missing. Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said the infant was discovered buried in a shallow hole inside a dog crate.
- Koah was taken by his father, Michael Comer, on Monday. A massive search involving nearly 100 officials ensued after deputies found the home empty, prompting collaboration with the FBI and other federal agencies.
- Searchers located the site about 50 yards into woods near Comer's father's house. Koon noted the crate was wrapped in a towel, which "probably created an air pocket" that allowed Koah to survive the burial.
- Late Monday, deputies arrested Comer on a burglary charge after finding him in a shed, though the infant was not present. The Lexington County Sheriff's Office is working with prosecutors on potential additional charges.
- Court records reveal Comer was on probation following a guilty plea for aggravated breach of peace. He also faced previous arrests earlier this year for domestic violence and a weapons-related charge, according to state records.
