He Went out of Town on Business — and Left His 1-Year-Old at Home in a Hot Car, Police Say

The tragedy unraveled on a gravel driveway at a home in Tennessee, where a family’s dark blue pickup truck sat, eerily, with a rear door still ajar and an empty car seat lying beside it on the ground.

"He Went out of Town on Business — and Left His 1-Year-Old at Home in a Hot Car, Police Say" is from the May 24, 2018 National section of The Washington Post. It was written by Lindsey Bever and narrated by Jenny Hoops.
