According to Connecticut State Police, 27-year-old Sadie Fleming and her newborn son, Hudson, were last seen leaving their residence on Brinsmade Road sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. on Sunday. Concerned family members contacted authorities, prompting a Silver Alert to be issued that morning.
After an extensive daylong search involving local authorities and emergency personnel, the pair was located later Sunday evening. Fleming was discovered in critical condition along a wooded road in Washington. She was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for emergency medical care.
Tragically, Hudson was found unresponsive in the surrounding wooded area. Despite efforts to save him, the infant was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital, according to a report from WTNH.
As of Monday, the exact circumstances surrounding their disappearance and injuries remain unclear. Connecticut State Police have not released any information regarding how the mother and child ended up in the wooded area or what led to the child’s death and Fleming’s injuries.
Authorities say no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified at this stage of the investigation. However, officials emphasized there is no current threat to the public.
“The investigation remains active and ongoing,” state police said in a brief statement. Detectives are working to determine what happened during the hours between their disappearance and recovery.
