“Michael Comer was arrested on Monday evening, but his son Sharpe was not with him. Comer was seen travelling to multiple locations without the baby and was later arrested in Lexington County. A search party of 100 police and fire department officials were then sent to search for the child, the sheriff said. He added that when they asked Comer where his son was, he ‘did not have much to say’ about his whereabouts. Koon said that rescuers searched the woods near Comer’s father’s house and saw some ‘freshly disturbed dirt’. As they began to dig, they heard a baby crying …. He said the crate was wrapped in a towel that probably provided enough air for Sharpe to survive for as long as he did, while the cold weather kept him from getting too hot.” (11/11/26)
