I expect they're working on her for a deal to testify against her husband.

Mother of Toddler Killed in Hot Car Researched Child Deaths, Warrant Says

Jun 29, 2014, 2:16 PM ET

The mother of a toddler who died after his father left him all day in a hot car told police that -- like her husband -- she researched child deaths in hot cars, according to new documents from police.

The documents were released the day after the funeral for 22-month-old Cooper Harris was held in University Church of Christ in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Cooper's father Justin Harris is accused of the toddler's murder and is being held without bail in Cobb County, Ga. According to police warrants released Saturday, Harris, 33, told police he searched child deaths inside vehicles and "what temperature it needs to be for that to occur" because he "was fearful that this could happen."

According to newly released warrants, Harris' wife Leanna Harris told police she did the same thing.

"Leanna Harris, the child's mother was also questioned regarding the incident and made similar statements regarding researching in car deaths and how it occurs," read the warrant.

Leanna Harris has not been taken into custody or listed as a suspect by police.

She and her husband spoke to the public for the first time when they addressed mourners Saturday at Cooper's funeral, according to ABC News affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta. Harris called from the Cobb County Jail and spoke via speaker phone, thanking those who have supported him, according to WSB-TV.

Leanna Harris also spoke to mourners and called her husband a "great father," according to WSB-TV.

According to police, Harris left Cooper in his car when he went to work around 9:30 am June 18. Harris told police he forgot to drop Cooper off at daycare after he had breakfast at Chik-Fil-A restaurant and did not notice his son was in the backseat until around 4:30 p.m. when he was driving to drinks with friends.

When he noticed his son in the back seat, he said he immediately stopped the car and attempted to perform CPR. Witnesses told police Harris was yelling "Oh my God what have I done" as he pulled his son out of the car.

Cooper was pronounced dead after emergency personnel arrived.

Harris was arrested after police executed a search warrant in his office and home. According to The Associated Press, police also determined that Harris returned to his car at some point during the day and put something inside.

Police served warrants after Cooper's death to search computers or electronics for signs of evidence in the alleged crime.

Let's just pretend he really was that stupid to forget. The fecking daycare is in the same building as his office?!? Not once during the day does he visit his kid - in the same fecking building?!?

I'm not a parent, but I'd like to think if I was, and a daycare was made available in my office, I'd be there to pop in and visit or at least look through the fecking window at every break time!

Rot in hell you stupid piece of shit, and I hope your wife is found guilty too.
Seriously, she doesn't call or text for that dumbass to check in on their kid?!?

Daycare was not in same building. He worked at a satellite office a couple miles away from HD headquarters. Still, he strapped his kid into a car seat, drove 0.2 miles, then forgot he was there?

If my child were in daycare in the building I work in, damn straight I'd go visit them throughout the day.

If people don't want their children, put them up for adoption. Do anything, but don't murder them.

I hope these two pieces of shit get the same treatment as what they did to their poor, innocent child.

From AJC article on timeline:

June 18, 8:30 a.m.: Ross Harris and his son, Cooper, leave the family’s Marietta-area condo and head to Chick-fil-A for breakfast.

8:55 a.m.: After eating, Harris puts the 22-month-old into his rear-facing car seat in the middle of the backseat of his 2011 Hyundai Tucson. Harris then drives less than a mile to the “Treehouse” Home Depot office, where he works. His son’s daycare center is not located here, but is instead about 2 miles away at corporate headquarters.

9 a.m.: Harris parks the SUV and goes in to work, leaving Cooper in the backseat

Like Snide said...

There are plenty of people who wish they had kids, and would be happy to give them a home.

To take a life is bad enough, to take your own child's life who only loves you, and needs you to protect them?

.......... WTF is wrong with people!!!!

I concur.

That happens more than you think. A woman around here did the same thing a couple of years ago. She was not charged that I know of.
