The parents of a missing 1-month-old Montgomery baby spoke out for the first time Wednesday at a news conference at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Angela Gardner and Caleb Michael Whisnand Sr. addressed the media, showing a photo of their child from their cell phone and asking for the public’s help finding him.

“We would just like for anybody that has any information...I know that if anybody’s got anything, any places that I could have gone, anybody. You know who you are,” the father said. “Please, find him, please,” his mother added, holding her hands to her face.

The boy, Caleb Michael Whisnand Jr., has brown eyes and brown hair and weighs approximately 10 pounds.


The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency initially reported the baby was last seen wearing a camouflage onesie around 9 p.m. Saturday. However, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office later said the boy and his father were seen together around 3 p.m. Monday in north Montgomery and the child was last seen around 10:45 p.m. that night at a gas station.

Gardner said she was home with her oldest child, a 2-year-old, and that CJ, as they called their baby, was with his father. “He went to go pay at a gas station and realized he was gone,” she said. “And he let the police know and me know that he was missing.”

Capt. Trent Beasley with the sheriff’s office said a 911 call came in from the Circle K gas station on Wetumpka Highway, prompting the investigation. He said investigators is collecting video evidence from the initial call area and the surrounding area and is asking the public for any help it can provide.

“We have collected some video evidence. Right now we’re still in the preliminary phases of our investigation,” Beasley said. “We are carefully scrutinizing all the video footage from the immediate area.”

Police have no information on a possible vehicle or suspect/s.

ALEA has since issued a statewide missing child alert. Also assisting in the case are agents with the local field office of the FBI, the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office, the Montgomery and Wetumpka police departments and other agencies.

Why would you take the most complex child with you to the store .. why not leave both home with mom because it was a quick trip to the store .. only thing I’ve got was maybe driving around to put the baby to sleep .. worked great with my daughter till you turned the car off .. we progressed to her carrier on the dryer .. I guess I am very unsure of the events and timing..

It went exactly where we all knew it was going.

There is an update to the link Sugar Cookie put in the first post:
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) - Authorities report that they have found the body of a baby who had been missing since Monday.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the death of 1-month-old Caleb Michael Whisnand Jr. Caleb’s body was found shortly after his parents gave a press conference Wednesday afternoon asking the public to help find their baby.

The manner of death was not released.

Investigators say the child’s father, Caleb Michael Whisnand Sr., was developed as a suspect and subsequently arrested on charges of manslaughter. He was placed in the Montgomery County Detention Facility with a bond of $100,000.

Oh hell no! Don't suggest the dryer... Some of the geniuses today would put the child in the dryer.
 
The fact he took a 1 month old to the store was the first detail I wasn't believing. My experience with men with infants is that they don't want to be left alone with them for one minute cause they might have to do something. My son's father never changed the first diaper because he refused to, definitely not cause I wanted to do all by myself.
 
At the time of his arrest Wednesday, Whisnand was already under indictment in an unrelated case on charges of meth and heroin possession, reckless endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sheriff’s Capt. Trent Beasley said earlier Wednesday authorities about 10:45 p.m. Monday received a 911 call from Whisnand from the Circle K on Wetumpka Highway about a missing child.

According to Margaret Hope, C.J.’s grandmother and Gardner’s mother, the couple lived with Whisnand’s parents. Gardner was about to leave Whisnand, Hope said, “and I think that’s the reason he took the baby.”

Hope said the baby was found dead in a wooded area. “He knew he done killed that baby and he had to come up with some excuse,’' Hope said.

Knew they were lying


The baby killer starts speaking at the 22 min mark

Of course grandma goes with the "My kid din do nuffin! It was only the big bad man!" He had the kid where for those 3 days? They live together don't they? Also she stayed with him after his drug charges, which me thinks means mom has a habit herself. If she was going to "leave him" like grandma of the year claims, why were they such a united front? Why did mom go along with the "went to the store" lie if the baby was supposedly gone for 3 days and she was "calling them to bring him back" I'd be downright shocked if mom had absolutely nothing to do with it.

An Alabama man who pleaded with the public for information about his missing son later led authorities to a shallow grave where the infant was buried and asked a police officer to shoot him before he was placed in handcuffs and charged in the death, testimony showed Friday.

Testimony in a hearing for Caleb Michael Whisnand Sr. revealed new details about the death of 5-week-old C.J. Whisnand and how authorities found the baby’s body, news outlets reported. The man told police the child’s death was accidental, evidence showed.

Whisnand, 32, was arrested last month just hours after making a public plea for the baby’s safe return alongside the child’s mother, Angela Gardener. Initially accused of manslaughter, the charge was later upgraded to capital murder.

After a brief news conference with police, Whisnand drove sheriff’s investigators to a rural area where they found the baby dead, a detective testified. Gardener also was there, and Whisnand ran to her, hugged her and said, “I’m sorry.”

“He said it was an accident, he had hit his head,” Montgomery County Sheriff’s Investigator John Shepherd testified at a preliminary hearing. Soon after, Shepherd said, Whisnand “looked at me and asked me to shoot him.” Instead, Whisnand was placed in handcuffs.

Dr. David Rydzewski, a forensic pathologist with the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, testified the boy had a complex skull fracture to the right side of his head and was bleeding over the entire surface of his skull. A bone was broken in his right leg, he said.

Such injuries occur accidentally only in a severe car crash or a five-floor fall, he said. “This is an acute injury and the child died within minutes,” Rydzewski testified.

I am so jaded that anytime I see parents crying over their missing kids I think they were killed by either the parent or who they are fucking :(
 
Broken leg and smashed skull? Sounds like he held the baby by his leg and slammed his head into something very hard. We all knew he killed him even if we didn't know how or why. Why do they thik they can get away with killing a baby when they obviously don't even know how to tie their shoes? I guess obliviousness comes with the stupidity.
 
A Montgomery father will spend life in prison without the possibility of parole after his capital murder conviction in the aftermath of the 2021 death of his newborn son.

On May 12, 2021, Whisnand participated in a news conference and asked for the public’s help in finding his son. Shortly after the news conference, he changed his statement and ultimately led agents with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to a wooded area in Lowndes County. There, investigators located the body of Caleb Whisnand Jr. buried in a shallow grave, Oliver said.

An autopsy revealed his death was caused by severe blunt-force trauma to his head. He also had a broken leg as well as bruises on his body, court records show.

if there is a death penalty in his state that is why he pled guilty to avoid death... i am so glad in this case there was no plea deal (as every case of child abuse causing death should be no plea deals) and he got what he deserve :)
