Shannon Lea Dedrick is only 7-months old and it is believed she went missing after her parents put her to bed. But sometime during the following morning when they came to check in on her she was gone.here are rumors swirling the family had posted online they’d buried her, others were they were being investigated by DCF.

A stroller ran out in front of a train this past week when it got away from the mother, thankfully the baby inside survived. This whole incident was actually caught on tape at the train station, by the way it was the stations camera not someone filming the horrible incident.
