The estate of the 7-year-old whose body was discovered in luggage has filed a lawsuit against Montgomery and Clark counties.

The lawsuit, filed by Wright & Schulte, alleges the child services departments of both counties missed signs that Hershall Creachbaum, 7, was in danger.

Creachbaum’s body was discovered dead along US-35, following a kidnapping report earlier in the day. When investigators found Hershall’s remains, they discovered he had been dead for several weeks.
