Lexington County Sheriff’s Office said the 11-month-old boy was rescued alive on November 10 after being found in a dog crate buried near his father’s home, and the father was arrested on November 11 on a burglary charge. The rescue followed a multi-agency search that began after the child was reported missing while his grandmother was out running errands. Officials from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the FBI and the ATF assisted in locating the infant, who was taken to a hospital for care.
