crime-sceneAn Omaha woman running an unlicensed home day care has been arrested in connection with the death of a 1-year-old boy.

The Omaha Police Department says 33-year-old Elizabeth Harding was arrested Monday. She faces a charge of child neglect resulting in death.

Chase Hunter was found unconscious Feb. 22 in an unbuckled car seat. Investigators say Harding put the child in the seat to sleep. Chase shuffled himself and the seatbelt harness wrapped around his neck. The boy could not be resuscitated and died.

Harding is jailed at the Douglas County Department of Corrections. Online records do not list an attorney.
