Infant Found in Cooler.
TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- Police said an infant's body has been found on South Deleon Avenue that is believed to be that of a missing 7-month-old. Authorities said the body was found behind a home in the 500 block inside of a cooler. Titusville police said they located 40-year-old Carolyn "Renee" Miller, a baby sitter, on Monday morning. The mother of the child said she had not seen the child since she left it with Miller. Miller has not been arrested. Investigators said Miller often watched JaVeon Brushan for several days at a time. Police said the body was found after an interview with Miller. The child's mother said she has not been able to reach Miller on her cell phone, according to police. No motive or cause of death has been determined, police said. Charges are pending on Miller, police said.

Re: Infant Found in Cooler.
That is what I am thinking. She was babysitting, something went wrong (be it shaking or a true accident) and she got scared and tried to hide it.  |

Re: Infant Found in Cooler.
Another article about it.... TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- A babysitter led Titusville police to the body of a missing 7-month-old baby boy who was found inside a cooler in the backyard of a home on S. Deleon Avenue (see map) Monday, investigators told WFTV. Police said the investigation is now being called a homicide. The babysitter, 40-year-old Carolyn Renee Miller, told police where to find the body. She led investigators to the home being rented by her boyfriend, and in the backyard police found Ja-Veon Brushan dead inside an Igloo cooler. Titusville residents watched in disbelief as police lifted a small blue tarp behind the home. "She said she gave the baby back to the mom and the mom said she didn't. And you get a real bad feeling in your stomach," said Titusville Police Chief Tony Bollinger. The baby's mother, Janelle Graham, was questioned Monday afternoon by Titusville police. She told investigators she allowed Miller to babysit on Tuesday. Friends told WFTV Graham was celebrating her 21st birthday. On Thursday, relatives told WFTV Miller made a stop for diapers and milk. But later, when Graham tried to reach Miller to get her son, she couldn't be found. Brushan was reported missing on Sunday. Graham's cousin, Latanya Burch, spotted Miller Monday morning without her cousin's baby. "I said, 'Where's the baby?' And she kept telling different lies. Nothing added up," Burch said. When Burch pointed Miller out to police, they began asking their own questions. They said Miller told them she fell asleep and when she woke up, she found the baby dead. She then disposed of the body. But some relatives aren't buying that story. "I think it's a damn shame to kill a baby like that," Burch said. Miller has a history of problems with the law and with state agents who look after families. The Department of Children and Families wouldn't share specifics, but said it's familiar with Miller. Miller has a long history with DCF. However, Miller's sister, Lisa Madden, told WFTV she doesn't believe Miller could have harmed the boy or any child. "She really cared about that baby," Madden said. Miller also has a criminal history dating back to 1993. It includes charges for shoplifting, disorderly conduct and both marijuana and cocaine possession. Miller could be charged with minimum aggravated child abuse, but investigators need to know the child's cause of death, which an autopsy will determine. http://www.wftv.com/news/26595516/de...11540101242011 |
