Story out of Fayette County, West Virginia:
According to Fayette County Sheriff's deputies, a couple went to a home on Chestnut Knob Road on May 28th and said they were trying to sell their baby for between $500 and $1,000.
Investigators believe the couple wanted to use the money from selling the baby to buy drugs.
The home the couple went to belonged to a woman who did not buy the baby, but took care of the infant for several hours.
Carolyn Redden lives approximately one mile from the couple, but says they did not know each other that well. She says she had never seen the mother before, but knew Jonathan Flint since he was a child.
Redden said after she refused to purchase the baby, they instead asked her to babysit while they walked five miles to a local convenience store. She says the couple did not return until the following day, after the baby was already in custody of child protective services.
Redden was the woman who dialed 911, ultimately alerting law enforcement of the situation. She says the baby would not stop crying and kept shaking.
According to the woman watching the baby, an EMS worker told her the infant may be suffering from drug withdrawal. Cont.
