COBB COUNTY, Ga. (WXIA) -- New search warrants released Sunday show Leanna Harris also admitted to police she researched hot car deaths and "how it occurs".
The warrants were for a Dell Dimension 9200 Computer Tower from the Harris' home, Google Chrome cast, a MacBook Pro Laptop, a Lenovo T530 Think Pad taken from Justin Harris' car, an Apple MacBook Pro, and an iPhone and iPad from the car.
Harris' husband Justin Ross Harris is charged with murder and child cruelty after their 22-month old son Cooper died after being left in the car for more than seven hours while he was at work. Harris claims he simply forgot his child was in the back seat.
The funeral for 22-month-old Cooper Harris was Saturday, and his father called the funeral and spoke by speaker phone to those attending.
Harris was not allowed to attend the funeral, but told the crowd "thank you for everything. I'm sorry I can't be there."
Harris' wife, Leanna, said, "Ross is, was and will be a great daddy," to which family and friends gave a standing ovation, Leanna told the crowd she is not angry with her husband over their son's death.
Around 200 people attended the services for 22-month-old Cooper. Church officials told us the family would not make any statements to the media. But inside the funeral they spoke glowingly of Ross Harris who was listening via speakerphone from Jail.
Earlier in the week Coopers family requested a flash drive of pictures of cooper to show at the funeral. That request was denied by Cobb county police who said they needed to protect the integrity of the evidence. Due to the controversy and media attention surrounding this case, there was a heavy police presence. After the funeral the family left for a private burial.
The family was helped by the Home Depot homer fund which have them a 10 thousand grant to help with funeral expenses.
