Missing South Carolina infant rescued after being buried alive in a dog crate for 24 hours
When an 11-month-old infant was reported missing in South Carolina, dozens of first responders combed the countryside for the “bright boy with reddish blond hair" who, the sheriff's office said, had disappeared while his grandmother ran errands.
An 11-month-old infant, Koah Sharp, was rescued in South Carolina after being buried alive in a dog crate for 24 hours. The child's grandmother went out for errands and left him in the care of his father, Michael Comer, who was later arrested. A search involving nearly 100 first responders uncovered freshly disturbed soil in the woods near the grandparent's home, leading to the discovery of Koah.
He was clinging to life, clinging to an air pocket within the towel he was wrapped in, which helped him breathe. Koah was taken to the hospital, and his condition was not immediately known. The father was charged with burglary, and an investigation is ongoing to determine if he faces additional charges.
