Police investigating the death of a 13-month-old boy have taken the baby's mother into custody a day after his body was discovered near a suburban St. Louis cemetery.

No charges have been filed against 20-year-old Shelby Dasher of Affton, Mo., who was taken into custody about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, said Antoinette King, booking clerk for the St. Louis County jail.

King said Dasher was in custody on a 24-hour hold. The hold is designed to give the police a day to build a case. If no charges are brought in that time, Dasher must be released.

Tyler was reported missing from his home in the St. Louis suburb of Affton around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Shelby Dasher told police that she overslept that morning and discovered him gone from his crib when she awoke.
