The Sun's media partner, WJZ, tracked down the father of Rajahnthon Haynie, the one-month-old who police say was killed and buried in Druid Hill Park by his mother, Lakesha Haynie. Police say the father, whose identity is being concealed by WJZ because of threats made against him, told detectives of the child's death and showed them where he had been buried. Rajahnthon was Haynie's fifth child; the first four had been taken away by social serivces. He said Haynie was so fearful of Rajahnthon being taken away that she gave birth in his apartment; "I cut the umbilical cord," he said.
"I did everything in my power that I could to help her make it right, but this is one thing that I just couldn't fix. It was out of my control," the father said.
He claims his girlfriend is bipolar and was off her medication.
"There's certain instincts that she didn't have, you know, that a mother should have," he said. "That nurturing thing that a mother's supposed to have for her child, especially a newborn. Lakisha had four of her kids taken from her and she really wanted to keep this one."
