ATLANTA (AP) - A Georgia man charged with murder after his 22-month-old son died in a hot SUV searched online for information about kids dying in cars and told police he feared it could happen, according to documents released Saturday as the boy's family held his funeral in Alabama.

The warrants released by the Cobb County Police Department provide more insight into the investigation of Cooper Harris' death on June 18.

Justin Ross Harris, 33, has told police he was supposed to drive his son to day care that morning but drove to work without realizing that his son was strapped into a car seat in the back.

In an interview after his son's death, Harris told investigators that he had done an online search on what temperature could cause a child's death in a vehicle. The warrant doesn't specify when Harris did the searches.

"During an interview with Justin, He stated that he recently researched, through the internet, child deaths inside vehicles and what temperature it needs to be for that to occur. Justin stated that he was fearful that this could happen," one of the four warrants released to The Associated Press stated.

Harris also told police he was on his way to meet friends after work when he realized his son was in the back seat and pulled into a shopping center to get help, according to the warrants.

Harris is charged with murder and second-degree child cruelty in his son's death, and remained in jail on Saturday as family members held a funeral in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Harris called the ceremony from the Cobb County Jail in Marietta, Georgia, and emotionally thanked people for their support since his arrest hours after the boy's death.

"(Cooper) never did anything to anyone," Harris said. "I'm just sorry I can't be there."

The boy's mother, Leanna Harris, also made her first comments about her son's death and the charges against her husband at the funeral ceremony.

""Ross was and is a wonderful father," Harris said to the applause of about 250 mourners according to the newspaper.

Police have said facts in the case "do not point toward simple negligence." A previously released arrest warrant stated that Harris stopped with his son for breakfast and returned to put something inside his car during the day while the child was still inside. The Cobb County Medical Examiner's office said Wednesday that it believes the cause of Cooper Harris' death was hyperthermia and manner of death was homicide.

The temperature that day was 88 degrees at 5:16 p.m., according to a warrant filed the day after the child died.

Police searched the Marietta, Georgia condo where the family lives, looking for a laptop, electronic devices documents, photographs and any "evidence of child neglect, child abuse." They also searched Harris' cellphone and the light blue 2011 Hyundai Tucson that Harris was driving when his son died.

In an obituary published this week, the child's family said Justin Ross Harris and his wife, Leanna, were "the most proud parents there could ever have been."

Cooper Harris loved trucks and cars, had just learned the color red and was a happy baby, it read.

"His 22 months of life were the most happy and fulfilling times of his mother's and father's lives, and we will miss him greatly," the obituary read.

It goes against everything I believe in, but I read a story like this and think when someone googles how to (insert deplorable act...especially involving kids most often their own) the police should just go pick them up and take them to a mental hospital

I'll freely admit that stories like this are much harder for me to read / digest since my son was born. That being said ( here ya go Nas) , if someone were to take this abject failure as a parent out of his cell and tie him to the back of a pickup , I'll gladly drive the first 5 miles at 75mph. Just fucking sickening .

Yea I don't think you forget to go to daycare. And then forget he's in backseat. And then get in the car after work, drive, and suddenly notice he's been strapped in the back the whole time. What a psycho.

But what is that? Is it hatred for his son? Sever mental illness? Selfishness?

Sometimes you can understand why someone kills someone. Not that you would do it but you're like "Oh, she killed her husband to get the insurance money". But in cases like this with your child......I just can't even begin to understand the thought process....

Messages between Leanna and Ross indicate that the two were having financial problems, the detective said. Ross Harris had recently been passed over for a promotion, and the couple had two insurance policies on Cooper, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000

There's a much deeper philosophical question here that I couldn't bring myself to discuss immediately after reading this story. It's a great question, though, and one we should never stop trying to answer.

Not that I am defending anyone, but the article only states that they had two insurance policies, not that this was the motive for the murder. You could be jumping to conclusions.

True. I thought there was a link there like they had just updated it or something.

Another woman and starting over. I believe that I heard he was sexting some other woman that day. The thought of what his son went through is sickening to me as a father.

Few years back ( before my son was born) a friend of mine were on a family trip to one of the kids traveling baseball team. Somewhere along the ride (Iowa I think) with Mom driving ,their van flipped over and down an embankment . Their youngest son was killed (7 years old ). While obviously I was horrified by that and went to the wake it didn't really hit me seeing the kid in the casket . Now if that were to happen I don't know how the hell I would ever get over it. Kids really change your perspective .
