CHESTERFIELD, SC (WOLO)- (WCCB)–Investigators are awaiting autopsy results following the death of Harlee Lewis whose body was found in a diaper box about a thousand yards from her home Tuesday.

Lewis’ mother, 19 year old Brianna Lewis is in custody. The Chesterfield County Sheriff says Lewis is being held on a charge of unlawful disposal of human remains and falsifying a report.
Investigators say they are waiting on autopsy results to confirm the cause of death, and will determine if additional charges will be filed at that time.
