Baby found safe after deadly carjacking     Send a link to a friend

[September 12, 2007]  ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A baby girl who was strapped into her child safety seat when a carjacker killed her father and stole his SUV was found safe Tuesday morning outside a hospital, authorities said.

The little girl, Ivory Roach, was in good condition at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, said St. Louis County police spokesman Rick Eckhard. No arrests had been made Tuesday morning.

The carjacking happened late Monday in north St. Louis County, where police investigating reports of gunshots found Tionna Roach, 31, dead in a parking lot. Roach's SUV, with his daughter inside, was missing.

Several hours later, two employees at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, aware that police were searching for Roach's SUV, spotted it in a hospital parking lot, said hospital spokeswoman Kathy Holleman.

"They both saw the baby in the car," Holleman said.

The workers found a door unlocked and removed the child.
