Key Points:
- An 11-month-old infant, Koah Sharp, was found alive after being buried in a dog crate in South Carolina, following a day-long search involving nearly 100 first responders.
- Koah was discovered near his grandfather's home in freshly disturbed soil, wrapped in a towel that likely created an air pocket, allowing him to survive.
- The child's father, Michael Comer, 25, was arrested on a burglary charge and is under investigation for further charges related to the incident.
- Surveillance footage showed Comer without the child on the day Koah disappeared; Comer had taken the baby while in the care of his mother, who left briefly for an errand.
- Comer has a history of domestic violence, and family members indicated he had expressed intentions to take the baby out of state prior to the incident.
