A Florida woman who reported her 7-month-old daughter missing was arrested and charged today with giving the infant to her babysitter, a woman who was a suspect in the disappearance of her own son 22 years ago.

The missing baby, Shannon Lea Dedrick, was discovered Wednesday night hidden in a large box with a lid on it beneath the bed of her babysitter, Susan Elizabeth Baker, police said.

Authorities said today that Shannon's mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer, conspired with Baker to pass over the child at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.
