Harris, she also admitted to police that she also had looked up websites about kids dying in hot cars. she says she has an explanation for that. we also learned about a couple of life insurance policies on baby cooper. one of them, $2,000, one of them, $25,000. so is that enough to have lyon th leanna harris involved more in this case? is it possible leanna harris may find herself charged in this terrible crime as well? sunny, i ll begin with you. two things that stood out to me yesterday as the evidence came from the investigator. this is the prosecutorial side of things. when she went to pick up cooper at the day care and they said to her, ross didn t drop him off, her immediate reaction was, oh, my god, he must have died in a hot car. those are my words, but i m paraphrasing pretty accurately according to the investigator.
