An extraordinary rescue in South Carolina has left an entire community stunned after an 1l-month-old baby boy was discovered alive inside a E dog crate that had been buried beneath the ground for what authorities believe was approximately 24 hours.
The infant, identified as Koah Sharpe, disappeared on Monday, November 9, 2026, after being left in the care of his father, 25-year-old Michael Comer. What initially began as a missing-child investigation quickly developed into an urgent search involving law enforcement officers, firefighters, rescue personnel and federal agencies.
By Tuesday afternoon, November 10, nearly 100 searchers were looking for the missing E child in Lexington County. Their efforts eventually led them into a wooded area near the home of Comer’s father, where investigators noticed a patch of freshly disturbed soil.
