NOVEMBER 2, 2003                                                             FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Charlestown Police Department responded to 127 Woodridge Drive , in Charlestown , when an ambulance was dispatched for an infant not breathing.  Upon arrival, approximately one-minute later, emergency personnel found ten-month-old Alexander Lee Raisor deceased in his bedroom crib.  Detective Don Wolfe, of the Charlestown Police Department, immediately began an investigation into the infant’s death resulting in the early Sunday morning arrest of 22 year old Jeremy Alan Stewart for the murder of Alexander.  Stewart, the live-in boy friend of Alexander’s 21 year old mother Deloris Raisor, was home alone with Alexander and summoned EMS at approximately 10:09 am Thursday morning reporting that Alexander was not breathing.  An autopsy performed Friday, ruled that Alexander’s death was a homicide and the result of “multiple inflicted blunt force and asphyxiation injuries.”  Stewart subsequently confessed to Detective Wolfe during interviews that he caused the injuries upon Alexander because he would not stop crying.  Stewart was arrested and charged with the murder of infant Alexander Lee Raisor then transported to the Clark County Jail for Clark Circuit Court arraignment this week.  The investigation continues into additional specific details surrounding the incident, which have to be withheld at this time.
