“Unimaginable.” It was a scorching hot summer day. Ross Harris was supposed to bring his son Cooper to daycare. He went to work instead and left Cooper in the car. The boy died from the heat and was forgotten until 8 hours later. Police investigators looked at security footage. They saw Ross go to his car during his lunch break. He threw light bulbs into the front seat and then closed the door. The question is, “Didn't he see his son in the car?” or “Did he just leave him there to die?.” Police investigators saw it as child negligence and then, pre-meditated murder. It was brought out at his trial that Ross was living a double life. He had sex with other women outside his marriage and was addicted to porn. He also went after an underage female teen. Did he intentionally kill his son Cooper to continually live his hidden lifestyle?.
