Officers said Reese ran from the car, but when they looked in the back seat of the vehicle they found the body of 10-month-old Ayla Reeves.

Officers were able to track down Reese with K-9s. He has been charged with aggravated assault and concealing the death of another.

The GBI said they are trying to determine the child’s cause of death, pending an autopsy.
