Infant found abandoned in woods, father charged with attempted murder

MONTICELLO – A Monticello man, who reported his seven-month-old daughter missing from Wal-Mart in the Town of Thompson over the weekend, has been charged with second degree attempted murder.

Cory Clarke, 27, was also charged with reckless endangerment in the first degree and falsely reporting an incident in the second degree.

After Clarke reported the baby missing, State Police from Sullivan, Orange and Ulster counties, the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department and the Monticello Fire Department conducted a massive search. The child was found 4½ hours later on Saturday abandoned in a wooded area off Lanahan Road, a short distance from the entrance to Wal-Mart, at the site of an old bungalow colony.

The child was unhurt, but was transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center in Harris for examination. She was treated and released.

Clarke was remanded to the Sullivan County Jail pending a future court appearance.

These fucking fucks make me so sick.
Whats the matter with this punk? Is the baby getting in the way of intimate relations with momma? Is she teething like a NORMAL 7 month old and getting on your nerves? Or was this paybacks for some trivial thing momma did?

Fuck you, fuck your rights, fuck the ancestors of yours that created such a beast. I hope you die a grisley death.

THOMPSON — Kim DeRocca let out a scream of joy in the mostly empty parking lot of the Monticello WalMart on Saturday. “They found her,” she said with tears streaming down her face.

Kim’s grandchild, 7-month-old Brook, had been missing since about noon on Saturday when her father, Cory Clarke, had taken her shopping to the WalMart in Monticello. One of the largest retail outlets in Sullivan County, the store was shut for most of the afternoon as law enforcement officials mounted a search.

Brook was found around 5 p.m. about 150 yards from the WalMart in a wooded area off of Lanahan Road, near an abandoned bungalow, said Capt. Michael Cahill of the state police. Troopers who heard her crying, saw her face down in the mud.

Brook appeared unharmed but was transported to Catskill Regional Medical Center as a precaution, police said.
Clarke, of Monticello, told police the baby went missing from a double stroller while he was in check out line and wasn’t looking. Another child, 18-month-old Charley, was also in the stroller but was safe and unharmed.

Clarke had walked with the two children roughly 3 miles from his house on Mill Street in the Village of Monticello to WalMart, said.
Troopers and sheriff’s deputies searched car trunks in the parking lot and nobody was allowed to enter the store or parking lot during the investigation.

Both Brooke and Charley are the children of Clarke and Michelle DeRocca. The DeRocca family said that a New Jersey Court had recently given the mother custody and the father visitation rights. This weekend was Clarke first visitation weekend, they said.

Andy and Kim DeRocca, the child’s grandparents, had driven their daughter Michelle from Landing, N.J., where Kim now lives, when they heard the news. Michelle emerged from WalMart with Charley securely in her arms shortly after 5 p.m., having just heard that her daughter was found.

“Thank God,” she said, her face flush from crying. Troopers say the father was still being interviewed.

State police aren’t discussing how the 7- month-old ended up face down in the mud a few yards away from the store but are continuing their investigation.

The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, the Monticello Police Department and the Monticello Fire Department, as well as WalMart security, assisted with the search and investigation.

This story is strange. If the Father was trying to get rid of an inconvience...wouldn't he have left both of the children in the woods?

I would like to hear some substantial evidence that convinces me of the guilt of the father before I cast my stone.
It is unbelieveable how lucky that child is to have lived. She could have easily asphyxiated herself on the mud that she was face down in or a wild animal could have tried to make her it's lunch. So many different dangerous variables in the woods that could have gotten the best of her , but thankfully she is still amongst the living.

It would certainly be easy enough to look at survelance camera footage of the father and the children, as i am sure the police did before they arrested him. Most likely he entered the store with only one child.

**Silvahalo** · July 6th, 2009, 04:16 PM

Sky, I'll take your stone and cast it for ya. I really have no doubt he was a part of this. Why would they arrest and charge him with 2nd-D attempted murder? They got something on him alright.
I'm guessing video as Scorpio mentioned.

A Monticello man, who reported his seven-month-old daughter missing from Wal-Mart in the Town of Thompson over the weekend, has been charged with second degree attempted murder.

I am wondering tho why ditch baby girl and not his son? I wonder if baby girl really isn't his. Regardless, it takes a real dark heart, a mean fucker to abandon a baby like that. After the mother collects herself, I bet she's gonna want a real close encounter with this asshole...fuck, bay girl was alone for 4 1/2 hours....seems fitting he gets beat for 4 1/2 hours straight for starters.

What is it with people who throw away their treasures and keep the poison instead? It is beyond me, utterly beyond me.

Be happy and well sweet one, away from your so called father.

Cory Clarke has been found guilty of attempted murder, first-degree predatory sexual abuse on a child, incest and other first-degree felony sex crimes.

[...]
District Attorney Jim Farrell showed the jury a graphic photo demonstrating damage done to the baby, and the baby's blood-stained diaper. Clarke, who had visitation rights, had to return the baby to the mother on the Monday after a weekend visit and would have been discovered, Farrell said.

Clarke now faces a sentence of 10 years to life on the predatory sex assault charge and up to 25 years for attempted murder. Farrell said he will argue for a consecutive sentence that will keep Clarke in prison for life.
[...]

Clarke showed a cool, demeanor while police were frantically searching for the baby, and his story kept changing, Farrell said.

When confronted by a state trooper, Farrell said, Clarke admitted the child “might not have made it to Walmart.” The baby was eventually located hours later alive, face down in mud and high grass near an abandoned bungalow colony.

"Her cries could not be heard from the road,” Farrell said. “He never meant for her to be found. He absolutely meant for her to die.”

omg...and he RAPED her???.... oh KILL HIM NOW!!!!!!!

**silverfae** · March 8th, 2010, 10:31 PM

I hope they rape the shit out of him in prison. What an evil bastard. I think part of people's punishment for shit like this should be to have an announcement to the general population of the prison and then put these assholes out with them and turn the other way for a few hours.

**AngelFire** · March 9th, 2010, 12:32 AM

This man, fuck that, this bitch, deserves nothing but pain, and misery for the rest of his putried life.

Sorry to all the men I offended when I called Coey Clarke a man.

**Gidget** · March 9th, 2010, 12:37 AM

People like this do not deserve to see the light of day again. Just disgusting.

**Silvahalo** · March 9th, 2010, 03:47 PM

"Her cries could not be heard from the road,” Farrell said. “He never meant for her to be found. He absolutely meant for her to die.”

He dumped her as he raped her and left her to die. What a sick, useless POS. I want to see this fucker get the DP. I am so tired of bastards using kids for their own deviant means and trashing them. There is not one redemable thing about a putrid, breathing pieceof flesh like this. Just be done with him, the sight of his picture alone makes me ill.

So sorry baby girl. Heal completely.
