Cops: Mom made up ‘kidnap’ of baby found dead in diaper box

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, SC (WBTV/CNN) — The mother of an 11-month-old baby that was found dead in Chesterfield County Tuesday afternoon is now accused of stuffing her daughter’s body in a garbage bag, then in a diaper box and hiding the box in the woods.

Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Deputies charged 19-year-old Breanna Lewis with improper disposal of human remains Wednesday afternoon.

The investigation started as a kidnapping case, when Lewis called 911 at about 1:47 p.m. Tuesday. Sheriff Jay Brooks says Lewis told officers she was walking to her mailbox while holding her child Harlee Lewis. They say Lewis told investigators that a man driving a gold or tan SUV pulled up next to her, got out of the car and hit her multiple times in the head. She told officers he then snatched her baby and left.

She described the man as being tall, thin white and had a beard. She said he was wearing a coat, toboggan and one black glove. The description was listed on a statewide Amber Alert that was issued Tuesday for Harlee Lewis.
