"Police say Ga. father was leading a double life" by Kate Brumback | Associated Press July 04, 2014
MARIETTA, Ga. — A Georgia man who police say intentionally killed his toddler son by leaving the boy inside a hot SUV was exchanging nude photos with women the day his son died and had looked at websites that advocated against having children, a detective testified Thursday.
Cobb County Police Detective Phil Stoddard testified at a hearing that evidence showed Justin Ross Harris was practically leading a double life and should not be granted bond. Stoddard described the evidence police have suggesting Harris, who is charged with murder, killed his 22-month-old son Cooper intentionally.
Harris and his wife had two life insurance policies for the toddler, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000. Furthermore, Harris’ wife had become unhappy with her husband’s spending habits, Stoddard said.
At that same hearing, a judge refused to grant bond for Harris, meaning he will remain in jail.
Harris has told police he was supposed to drive his son to day-care the morning of June 18 but drove to work without realizing that his son was in a carseat in the back.
Harris was exchanging nude photos with several women, including at least one teenager, on the day his son died when he was at work, Stoddard said.
Defense attorney Maddox Kilgore said that evidence had no bearing on Harris’ intent.
‘‘I think the real purpose of all that is to publicly shame him,’’ Kilgore said.
In the weeks before the boy’s death, the man also had looked at a website that advocated against having children and had done an Internet search for ‘‘how to survive in prison,’’ the detective said.
‘‘I think the evidence now is showing intent,’’ Stoddard said. He said Harris should remain in jail because he is a flight risk: There is evidence he was leading a double life, he has family in Alabama, and the former 911 dispatcher has law enforcement experience.
Harris is a native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and moved to Georgia in 2012 to work for Home Depot.
The detective said after the boy died, Harris showed no emotion while being interviewed by investigators.
Harris has said he did not realize the boy was still in the car until he left work.

"S.C. boy dies after climbing in hot car" Associated Press July 08, 2014
BUFORD, S.C. — A 3-year-old South Carolina boy who died several days after being trapped in a hot car had climbed into the vehicle while his mother slept, relatives said Monday.
Officials say Logan Cox died Sunday morning at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. Authorities haven’t said whether anyone will be charged in the boy’s death.
Teresa Clevinger told 911 operators her daughter had been watching the boy last Wednesday but dozed off while at the family’s home in Buford. Clevinger said her daughter slept for about 30 minutes. The Lancaster County sheriff’s office said Logan suffered severe heat stroke after he climbed into a car at the family’s home in Buford and became trapped.
In Georgia, police are trying to learn more about the health of a toddler in the months before he died of heat exposure in his father’s car near Atlanta.
Search warrants and affidavits released Monday show investigators are seeking medical records for 22-month-old Cooper Harris. The child’s father faces murder and child cruelty charges.
