Two infants were discovered abandoned in a ditch in below-freezing weather by a man picking up items outside his house.
When Robert Deane noticed two car seats in a ditch, he decided to leave his house on Indianapolis’ southeast side. He discovered two infant girls left in freezing circumstances after conducting additional research.
The girls, who were 4 and 5 months old, had been abducted earlier in a stolen car, police found out. How long the girls were left outside in the 27-degree weather remained unknown.
William Young, a spokesman for the Indianapolis Police Department, stated: “It’s cold out here. Who knows what could have happened if this particular individual was not able to come outside. It’s extremely cold, and we’re still in our early stages of trying to figure out who was responsible for this.”
