A tragedy turned miracle has rocked the nation this week after a Montana newborn was found buried alive in the forest by authorities.
Thirty-two-year-old Francis Carlton Crowley was supposed to be taking care of the 5-month-old and appeared to be on drugs when he was questioned by officers.
It all started when authorities were alerted about a man making threats and “acting strange” at the Lolo Hot Springs of Montana’s Lolo National Forest around 8 p.m. Saturday night.
“When trying to question Crowley, he appeared to be under the influence of drugs and was not making sense to officers,” said a representative from the sheriff’s office. He added that Crowley “indicated the baby was possibly buried somewhere in the mountains.”
The vague description led a search party on a six-hour search to find the unidentified baby.
