Mother In Custody After One-Year-Old Baby Found Dead Inside Diaper Box

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, SC – Police are calling the mother of a 1-year-old found dead after an abduction call as the primary suspect in the child’s death.

On Tuesday afternoon Breanna Lewis called police to report her 1-year-old girl had been abducted.

The mother who initially told deputies she was walking to her mailbox carrying her daughter, Harlee Lewis, when a man in a gold and tan SUV pulled up.

Lewis said a white man wearing a black glove jumped out of the vehicle and punched her several times in the face before grabbing her daughter and driving away.

An Amber Alert was issued but called off within a couple of hours. Investigators searching for clues in the area of the alleged abduction found Harlee.

She was dead and hidden inside a diaper box in a field near Lewis’ home. A cause of death has not been released at this time.

When taken into custody for questioning, Lewis eventually admitted to making the entire abduction story up.

She has charged with filing a false police report, but investigators say she is their prime suspect in her baby’s death and more charges are likely to follow. My guess is they are just waiting on Harlee’s autopsy results.

Investigators are asking anyone with information about the case to call the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office at 843-623-2101 or 911 immediately.
