Police ultimately tracked down a “contract” signed by both the runaway parents and one would-be buyer, who was identified by authorities as Cody Martin.

It read: “I Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy for $1,000 on 09/21/2024.

“Disclaimer: Alter signing this there will be no changing yall two’s minds and to never contact again.”

Literally a trailer park boys episode. I can picture what kind of campground this is.

Sounds like they just didn't want the baby. I wonder if this couple even knew that Arkansas has a Safe haven/ Safe surrender thing they could've done?
