Investigators are piecing together the final details of the events that led up to the discovery of a sleeping 2-month-old boy on a ledge of a highway overpass at 7 a.m. in Louisiana on Monday, Aug. 21.

“Scariest thing about it if he were able to roll off that ledge, he would have hit that concrete retaining ledge and probably would have rolled right out into the interstate,” said Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper.

The search for the boy kicked off when police received a call from a homeless man in Shreveport saying that Keyshaun Wilson, 25, told him about abandoning a baby.
