North Carolina — When investigators found the remains of Harmony Jade Creech's baby body this weekend, she was inside a diaper box in the family's attic, said Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins.
The statewide Amber Alert for the 11-month-old is now canceled and Harmony's mother, Johni Michelle Heuser, 25, is being held without bail in the Harnett County jail on a charge of first-degree murder. Heuser's other three children are in the custody of the state.
The baby's father, Ronald Earl Creech II, just returned from a 15-month deployment in Iraq. Now, he must bury his first daughter, whom he had seen just once during a leave shortly after her birth in January.
Investigators believe Harmony had been dead for three or four weeks, Rollins said.

Regardless of how the baby died, this woman should be stoned for stashing the remains in the attic.
