Justin Ross Harris Tweet Adds to Murder Theory; Wife Leanna Barred From Seeing Him in Prison
The case against Justin Ross Harris continues to grow and speculation about whether he murdered his 22-month-old son Cooper also continues to grow as new discoveries are made. One such discovery includes a seemingly harmless tweet from September of last year. Police now wonder whether there was more to Justin's words than a harmless joke.
"NEW INVENTION: Snooze buttons on babies," Harris tweeted in September of 2013. "I'm going to be a billionaire. #shutupandtakemymoney."
Police continue to delve into Justin's past, including his online and electronic history in order to gain more insight into whether or not he actually killed his son or whether Cooper died in a tragic accident. Justin remains in jail on murder and child cruelty charges after being denied bond by a judge. His wife, Leanna, attempted to visit him yesterday but was turned away and prevented from doing so.

She spent 36 minutes inside the prison where her husband is being held and when asked by reporters whether she'd actually seen Justin, she shook her head "no." Leanna appeared upset about not being able to see her husband as she got into the back seat of a vehicle driven by a friend.
Also, yesterday, police took Justin's vehicle back to the Home Depot parking lot in order to recreate the crime scene and examine details of Justin's account of what happened that fateful day. Their recreation may have included two car seats, given that it was recently released that Cooper was in a car seat too small for his size even though his parents had purchased one that would better fit him. The two car seats were different in size, and one faced the back of the car while the other faced forward.
In recent days, Leanna has come under suspicion for her role in Cooper's death. Her behavior after learning of the boy's death led police to question whether she was actually involved somehow, and her words have led to even more suspicion.
"Did you say too much?" she reportedly asked Justin after the two were reunited at police headquarters after he was arrested.
Police continue to investigate Cooper's death as a homicide, and future charges could be pending against Justin and Leanna.
