Description

A frantic 911 call, a baby in the backseat, and a story that didn’t add up.

When police in Ormond Beach, Florida arrived, 18-month-old Sebastian Gardner was already gone. His small body showed signs that he’d been left in a hot truck for hours while his father, Scott Gardner, sat drinking inside a bar. What followed was a case that shocked even seasoned officers, not just because of what happened, but because of what Scott did next.
