Baby found after being buried alive in Lexington County
LEXINGTON, S.C. – An 11-month-old baby was found alive Tuesday after allegedly being buried in a crate by his father.
Koah Sharp is alive and well after being underground for around 24 hours.
Michael Comer, 25, was arrested Monday night and is charged with attempted murder, unlawful conduct toward a child, custodial interference and burglary, according to arrest warrants.
“Koah was in the care of Comer’s mother. She left Koah with Comer to run an errand while another caregiver was coming over,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “When the caregiver got there, Comer was gone and Koah was with him.”
Deputies were called around lunchtime Monday and responded to Comer’s father’s house on Parthenon Road in Batesburg-Leesville, Koon said. Both doors were open, the house was empty and baby items were found in the house.
Security footage was found from later Monday of Comer in Batesburg-Leesville but Koah was not with him, according to investigators.
Comer was found and arrested Monday night hiding in an outbuilding in Batesburg-Leesville, resulting in the initial burglary charge, according to investigators. Koah was not with him.
More than 100 law enforcement and public safety officers came together to search for Koah, Koon said. We are thankful for the joint effort of South Carolina Law Enforcement Division - SLED, FBI - Columbia , ATF – Columbia, City of Cayce Police Department, West Columbia Police Department, Batesburg-Leesville Police Department, County of Lexington, SC Fire Service, Lexington County EMS, Lexington County Communications Center, Batesburg-Leesville Fire Departmentand Lexington County Emergency Management in working to find Koah.
According to Koon, a search party found freshly disturbed ground not far from Comer’s father’s house. As they started searching that area, they could hear Koah crying.
“As you can imagine, the race was on. Everyone was trying to get him out,” Koon said. “He immediately was placed in the care of EMS and transported to the hospital as soon as they got him out.”
Koah was released from the hospital Tuesday night, according to Koon. He is with family members and, according to information provided to investigators by his medical team, he is expected to make a full recovery.
