| Case Story |
| Newborn Found In Toilet |
| Kathie Harless is accused of murdering her newborn son and dumping him in an outhouse toilet.
On April 9, 2001, police in Leitchfield, Kentucky were called to Bratcher's Flea Market to report the discovery of the body of an infant. A septic tank worker had been pumping out the women's outhouse when his vacuum hose became stuck. When the man pulled the hose out of the toilet, the body of a male human infant was attached to the hose by the buttocks.
An autopsy showed that the baby was a newborn at the time of death, and there were no apparent abnormalities that should have cause the baby's death by natural causes. |

| Harless' In Hiding |
| Police discovered that Kathie Harless, a regular vendor at the flea market, had been seen with blood on her clothing at the previous flea market session. According to officials, she also appeared to be extremely weak, weak enough that she had to have help breaking down her table and loading her merchandise back into her vehicle at the end of the day.
When questioned, Harless denied being the mother of the child. However, subsequent DNA testing on blood samples from Harless and the baby proved with a 99.99% certainty that she was the mother of the child. Within hours of having her blood drawn for testing, Kathy Harless and her husband Doug Harless fled from their home in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky and haven't been seen since. |
