A 7-month-old baby was locked in a 2-by-3 foot cedar chest hidden underneath her aunt's bed for 12 hours before police found her Wednesday night, a Florida sheriff said Thursday. Shannon Lee Dedrick, who had been reported missing four days earlier, is in good condition, Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock said "There was no bottle, just a blanket to cover [her]," Haddock said. "She was healthy...she was just wide open and surprised." Police think Crystina Lynn Mercer gave her daughter to the baby's paternal aunt, Susan Baker, a day before reporting her missing, Haddock said. Both women have been charged in connection with the incident. Baker, who also babysits the child, met with Mercer on Friday and asked if she could permanently take custody of the infant, Haddock said. "Susan Baker took custody of Shannon from her mother sometime in the hours of October 31st," he said.
