New information has been released regarding Justin Ross Harris, the Georgia father being charged with the death of his son, which reveals the incident surrounding him to be less of an unfortunate accident and more of a well-planned out murder.

22-month-old Cooper was allegedly left strapped in his car seat in the back of a hot car while his father Justin was at work on June 18. Harris claimed to have not noticed his toddler still in the back seat until he was driving home.

After noticing his son was unresponsive, Harris supposedly pulled over into a shopping center and called police. At that point, Cooper had been in the hot car for close to seven hours, and in temperatures as high as 92 degrees.

Paramedics pronounced the little boy dead at the scene.

Although Harris originally chalked his son's death up to simple forgetfulness, police investigations have uncovered a different story.

According to recent reports, police were able to obtain access to Justin's work computer from Home Depot.

An investigation into the Georgia man's internet searches revealed a chilling side to the 33-year-old: in Justin's computer history, someone had searched for information on how long it takes an animal to die in a hot car.

Even more sickening are the allegations that Harris went to his car during his lunch break on the day of the incident and even opened the driver's side door to put something inside.

On the day of his son's death, eyewitnesses also stated that Harris was behaving oddly. Witness Edward Cockerham, 49, told the Daily Mail that Justin seemed to be "acting up more than he should have been," and that his behavior "seemed like acting to me."

Justin also reportedly told eyewitnesses that his baby had started choking and died as a result.  

Justin is currently being held in the Cobb County Detention Center without bond and faces charges of felony murder and cruelty to a child in the second degree.
