On a sweltering summer day in New Hampshire, a call came in. A baby was trapped inside a car at a Wal-Mart parking lot. No time to waste.
Keene Police Lt. Jason Short raced to the scene. What he saw confirmed the worst—tiny feet sticking out from under a blanket.
No crying. No movement. Just silence. The car was sealed tight. The windows, rolled up. The heat? Unbearable.
Lt. Short didn’t hesitate. He smashed the glass. Every second mattered. He reached in, heart pounding, and pulled what he thought was a lifeless baby from the backseat.
His instincts kicked in—he tried to breathe life into the child. But something was wrong. The lungs didn’t expand.
