From the City of Charlotte website:
Mildred Chestnut (DOB 01/22/2000) and Brandon Augustine (DOB 11/21/1998) are facing charges of Felony Intentional Child Abuse Inflicting Serious Injury. The victim is a male infant who's suffering from severe and life-altering injuries.
On March 20, 2023, CMPD officers were notified of a 4-month-old infant being treated for injuries from a minor vehicle crash. Upon the initial investigation, detectives determined that the child's injuries were not consistent with a minor vehicle crash. After further investigation, warrants were signed on March 21, 2023, against Mildred Chestnut and Brandon Augustine, the mother, and father of the infant child. Chestnut and Augustine were reported missing by family members at around the same time as the police investigation began.
The CMPD's Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) has been searching for Chestnut and Augustine since March 21. It is likely that the couple has fled North Carolina. A vehicle belonging to them was found in Austell, Georgia on March 21 after it was intentionally abandoned and hidden. Detectives believe that the couple has been receiving assistance including money, shelter, and rides. Anyone with knowledge of this case that has been providing assistance to Chestnut and Augustine is subject to criminal charges including Aiding and Abetting, and Accessory after the Fact of a Felony.
Anyone with knowledge of Chestnut and Augustine's whereabouts is asked to call CMPD Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or charlottecrimestoppers.com/. All tips remain anonymous. For additional information about this case, please refer to the reports: 20230320-1435-05 (child abuse) & 20230320-1213-01 (missing persons).

Thoughts? Although this is a fugitive case, I case because they are technically missing, we can also via track this case via missingpersonscenter.org where Augustine and Chestnut are still listed as missing (but also wanted) as of April 13th, 2023.
