Divers have been in the water all Monday beneath the Purple People Bridge,
where Nylo Lattimore's stroller was found after his mother, Nyteisha Lattimore, was found murdered this weekend.
Local 12 has confirmed from two sources that the woman's body was found by a security guard early Saturday morning draped over the railing on the approach to the bridge. But it was the following day, Sunday, when that woman's cousins, who were down near the crime scene walking around, saw the little boy's stroller in the shallows of the river.
“It was just laying in the water,” said Cory Ponder. “It had the rip and everything.”
“I didn’t want it to be his,” said Myckel Hunter. “But I knew it was his.”
Mychel Hunter and Cory Ponder are Nyteisha's cousins. Hunter posted on his Facebook page pictures of Nyteisha and Nylo, after detectives showed up at his mother's house early Saturday morning.
“They told me, ‘We found Teisha by the Purple People Bridge in a bag -- a garbage bag,” Ponder recalled.
“My mom said, ‘She has a son. Where is the baby? Where is the baby?’” Hunter added.
