Good morning and thanks for joining me for Rise in Crime.

Your morning caffeine hit, all about crime.

I'm Mama Jules, and let's start today with a breaking case out of Tennessee.

It all started when an adorable seven-month-old baby girl

was found strapped in a car seat on a random driveway in rural Tigrette, Tennessee. Now that happened

six days ago. Tigrette is about 80 miles north of Memphis, and it was roughly around 3 p.m. A 911 call was made, and the child was taken to the

hospital and checked out, and then placed in the state's care. The baby girl is fine. But the

mystery deepened tragically, when a few hours later, another 911 call was placed. This time,

a man was searching the home of 38-year-old Courtney Rose.

She's the baby's grandma. And the man was wandering around the house with a flashlight looking

Adriana, but it is so grainy. In fact, you can't even really understand the man.

I just don't ever want you guys to think that I'm not bringing you everything that is out there.

Now, it's important here to understand that the baby was dropped off in Tigrette and Courtney's

house is in Tiptonville. That's a very rural and wooded area with a population of about 3,500 people.

Now, the two areas are 40 miles apart, so it took a moment for law enforcement to connect

the guy searching the house with the dropped-off baby in the driveway.

What we were initially told was that a mid-sized SUV or minivan had pulled up to the random driveway

and placed the baby girl strapped in the car seat on the ground and then drove away
