Missing South Carolina baby found buried alive
Key Points:
- An 11-month-old South Carolina infant, Koah Sharpe, was found alive after being buried in a dog crate underground for about 24 hours, wrapped in a towel that likely created an air pocket.
- Koah's father, Michael Comer, 25, was arrested the night before on burglary and resisting arrest charges, with authorities investigating additional charges related to the infant's disappearance.
- The baby went missing after Comer took him from his paternal grandmother’s care while another caregiver was en route, prompting a large-scale search involving nearly 100 law enforcement personnel.
- Koah was discovered crying beneath about a foot of dirt in the woods near Comer’s father's home, and was immediately rushed to a hospital following the rescue.
- Authorities are continuing investigations and have not yet released updates on Koah’s condition or Comer’s legal representation and potential new charges.
