Missing SC infant found buried alive in dog crate

An 11-month-old boy who disappeared Monday was found alive Tuesday, buried beneath freshly disturbed earth in a wooded area near Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina, Sheriff Jay Koon said. Searchers heard the child crying and located him about 30 yards from his great-grandfather’s home. The infant, identified as Noah Sharpe, was taken to hospital by emergency crews and was clinging to life. His father was arrested late Monday.
