We've all heard those heartbreaking stories, babies abandoned, left on doorsteps or even worse,

discarded by parents who, for whatever reason, can't or won't care for them.

It's a reason safe haven laws exist and why baby boxes have been installed across the country

to give these little ones a chance at life.

But what happened this past Tuesday, July 29th,

in Dyer County, Tennessee isn't one of those typical stories.

A woman found a baby, just seven months old,

sitting in a car seat, seemingly abandoned in her front yard.

At first glance, it looked like yet another tragic case of a child left behind,

but within hours, authorities would discover that this wasn't a story about a baby nobody wanted.

This little girl was loved deeply by her parents and by her family. Why then was she left alone

in a stranger's yard? Well, it turns out that something

horrific happened, not just to her parents, but to other members of her family as well. Whoever was

responsible showed no mercy to anyone except for choosing to spare this precious baby's life.

And now a suspect has been identified,

which sparked a nationwide manhunt that finally ended in his arrest just this Tuesday morning.

So stay with us as we tried to untangle the truth behind this devastating case,

a case that's left a community shaken, families destroyed, and the public demanding answers. Dyer County sits in the northwest corner of Tennessee, a quiet, rural stretch of farmland

and small towns where life tends to move a little slower. It's the kind of place where neighbors

know each other by name, and violent crime is rare.

But that peaceful sense of community was shattered this past week by a crime so brutal,

it's left the entire county devastated.
