The mother of the child eventually reported the baby missing late in the afternoon.
“Her comments were that she had left the child with a responsible adult and what happened after that she had no answer for,” Staff Sgt. Brian Partridge said Friday. “She didn’t have any information about why that child would have been left where it was.”
Partidge said police aren’t ruling out any charges as their investigation continues.
