Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · Justice · GSM News

The father of an 11-month-old boy found buried alive in a dog crate in the woods has been charged with attempted murder, USA Today reported Nov. 11. Michael Comer, 25, faces attempted murder and other charges in the case of his son, Koa Sharp. Searchers — more than 100 people — found the baby at about 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 10 in a wooded area of Lexington County, South Carolina, wrapped in a towel inside a roughly two-foot-square dog crate that had formed an air pocket. The infant was taken to a hospital, has since been discharged, and is expected to make a full recovery, Sheriff Jay Koon said. A bond hearing for Comer is scheduled for Nov. 12.
