Missing South Carolina baby found alive in buried crate; father arrested
An 11-month-old boy, Koah Sharp, was found alive in a buried dog crate near Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina, after a search involving about 100 emergency responders. His father, Michael Comer, was arrested after the child went missing, and authorities are investigating how Koah came to be buried.
Koah was last seen at about 11am on Monday while in his father’s care; searchers found him on Tuesday after spotting freshly disturbed dirt and hearing him cry as they dug. Sheriff Jay Koon estimated the baby had been underground for about 24 hours, and said a towel covering the crate may have left enough air for him to survive. Comer was arrested late on Monday on burglary and resisting arrest charges.
