Investigators spent five days searching dense vines and marshes for a missing infant, only to find her lying quietly in a 2-foot by 3-foot cedar box that had been shoved under her baby sitter\'s bed. Clothing was packed around it to muffle any sounds and baking powder placed inside to mask the stench of dirty diapers. Authorities say the baby\'s mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer, gave her to baby sitter Susan Elizabeth Baker early Saturday, then reported her missing about 10 hours later.
