According to Augusta press, Louis left the children there to attend a job interview. But a worried client called the authorities after noticing that the children – aged ten, six and one – were left alone.
The authorities would have found the children unattended – with witnesses saying that Louis arrived with them around 4:30 p.m. this afternoon. When Louis returned just after 6:15 am, he was detained.
