DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A South Carolina woman accused of leaving her toddler in a hot car just outside Atlanta while she got her hair done faces charges including second-degree murder.
Prosecutors said in a news release that a grand jury on Tuesday indicted 25-year-old Dijanelle Fowler in the June 15 death of her 13-month-old daughter, Skylar.
Fowler remains in jail without bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had a lawyer.
Prosecutors say Fowler left Skylar in the car while she was in a salon in Tucker. When she returned five hours later, she sought help jump-starting her car and drove to Emory University Hospital.
Prosecutors say Fowler called 911 from the hospital parking deck claiming she was having a seizure. Responding medical staff found the child dead in her car seat.
