Candlelight vigil held for infant lost in SC creek

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — The memory of an infant girl who was lost in a creek is being preserved by members at a church in Myrtle Beach. Local media outlets report that more than two dozen people gathered over the weekend for a candlelight service at Calvary Bible Church in memory of 5-month-old Grace Carlson Santa Cruz. Her body was recovered from a creek near Socastee earlier this month. News outlets report the service was held in memory of the child as well as to honor the first responders who searched for the infant. The child’s mother, 33-year-old Sarah Lane Toney, has been charged with homicide by child abuse. Toney told authorities she was carrying her daughter across a rain-swollen creek when the child was washed away.
