A mother whose infant son was found buried alive in a dog crate claims her ex sent her a disturbing message about a 'dumpster baby' around the time he allegedly snatched their son.

Dezarae Sharp's 11-month-old son, Koah, was found 'clinging to life' on Tuesday afternoon after spending approximately 24 hours shallowly buried under dirt in the South Carolina woods, police said.

Sharp, 25, has now claimed that her former partner, Michael Comer, texted her before Koah vanished and seemed to allude to what was coming.

'Michael did text me 2 days ago, I skimmed the message and the bottom said something about a dumpster baby,' she wrote on Facebook Tuesday morning.

'I assumed he was talking about the baby I'm pregnant with but here we are.'

Sharp urged anyone in the greater Lexington area to check 'any type of 'dumpster'' for the then-missing infant, adding: 'I've already went outside to check my trash can.'

Comer, 25, was arrested late Monday in Lexington County on a burglary charge after police found him hiding in an outbuilding. No charges have yet been filed in connection to Koah's disturbing disappearance.

The suspect's mother, Trish Comer, who had been taking care of Koah on Monday morning before leaving the baby in his care, has disowned her 'pure evil' son.
