While that search continues, the baby's family mourns their loss.

Betty Skaggs, Kyle’s maternal grandmother remembered her grandson as “…bright eyed, full of smiles, loved to play."

"I still don't understand how somebody could do that."

Baby Kyle died at Nationwide Children's Hospital from trauma, doctors said, consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

"I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how somebody could do something like that to him," Skaggs said.

Kyle’s paternal grandfather, Skeeter Bothman said he always thought his grandson would be in safe hands. " I never dreamed something like that was gonna happen," Bothman said.

"It takes an animal to do something like that. That's an animal in my eyes you know, it's senseles, just senseless. I just want to see justice done for him," Bothman said of Walker.
