Polk County sheriff's deputies say they're looking for a woman suffering from postpartum depression who may have killed her 1-year-old child this week.
Detectives have put out a statewide alert for authorities to be on the lookout for 32-year-old Neha Patel, who authorities say may also be suicidal.
Her husband, Rasesh Patel, became alarmed about 10:30 a.m. Thursday when he called home repeatedly from work to check on his wife, but she didn't answer.
------
[After she returned with the child in a blanket] Deputies say she at first refused to tell her husband what happened, but eventually explained that she'd killed the baby, named Ishan, earlier that day.
She climbed into bed and refused to talk, deputies said, but became enraged when she overheard her husband calling her father. She again left the home.
Deputies say Rasesh Patel attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the baby had been dead for some time. Neha Patel has not been seen since.
Detectives say Neha's credit card was used at 5:26 a.m. Friday at a parking garage at Tampa International Airport, then 5:33 a.m. at a 7-Eleven gas station in Tampa.
Her vehicle is described as a light-blue 2008 Toyota Sienna van, with Florida tag A100NJ. Neha, who quit her pharmacist job on Sunday, is considered both a homicide suspect and missing person.
------
Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863-298-6200.
