“Frozen Miracle: How a Local Hero Uncovered a Shocking Baby Rescue in His Own Backyard”
According to a 2022 study published by the British Journal of Nursing, a 5-month-old baby exposed to freezing temperatures—such as the 27ºF recorded on the day of the car theft—is at significant risk of hypothermia, primarily due to its limited ability to regulate body heat.

Infants lose heat faster than adults and are unable to warm up via shivers, making proper protection crucial. If an infant’s core body temperature drops below 95ºF, their heart, nervous system, and other vital organs are compromised.
IMPD is seeking the community’s help in locating the following vehicle that was stolen with a 4-month-old and 5-month-old child in the back.
The plate number on the vehicle is 364CMU. If you see this vehicle, please call 911 immediately.

The study stressed the importance of rewarming the affected infant by first drying its skin, clothing it, and slowly exposing it to warm air in a protected environment.
Submersion in hot water, however, is not recommended. “[It] may be dangerous, promoting a rapid vasodilation and resulting in hypotension,” the paper read.
The babies were checked by medical professionals who confirmed they were safe and healthy, the identity of the robbers, however, remains unknown

Robert confirmed to the New York Times that the babies were safe and checked by medical professionals. However, he feared for their lives due to the state he found them in, with one of them being left without any protection on their head.
