DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Police say a 6-month-old girl was found unharmed in a car with her slain mother in southwest Ohio.
Middletown police said Wednesday that the baby was taken Tuesday from her father’s home by the non-custodial mother. A police statement says 29-year-old Brittany Russell apparently went to the father’s Middletown home Tuesday and persuaded the baby sitter to let her take Haven Edwards, saying she would bring her back in a few hours but did not.
The father reported the child missing early Wednesday.
Dayton police found the mother shot to death in a car at a Dayton apartment complex Wednesday morning. The child was being kept warm by the running car’s heater.
The baby has been reunited with her father.
