A good Samaritan found the baby and cared for her inside the nearby Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa until police arrived.
A regional president of a healthcare company and her husband are accused of leaving their 6-month-old baby alone in a tent on the beach during her nap, while they went for a long walk along the shore on Friday. Sara Sommers Wilks and her husband, Brian Wilks, were arrested after police found an unattended baby at Florida’s Miramar Beach around noon on Friday.
The couple — Sommers Wilks, 37, and Wilks, 40 — told officers they had «lost track of time» while walking along the beach with their three older children, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. The pair went out for a walk and were gone for nearly an hour.

«It’s right there at that hour time frame, 50 minutes to an hour, way longer than what would be reasonable», Major Dustin Cosson with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office told ABC 13.
