I was with the second unit on this scene. The girl was about 11 and had her 8 year old sister sitting next to her. The girl had been dead for several hours as rigor mortis had already set in. There were rope burn marks on her wrist and throat and cuts on her hands. When the Sheriff’s deputies question the little 8 year old about her father she kept repeating her father was dead. The story as reported in the paper is below.
- Authorities today were awaiting autopsy results after an 11-year-old North Carolina girl was found dead in her mother’s car in LaGrange. The girl, whose name was not released, was discovered in the back of the car in the parking lot of the LaGrange Travel Center at 2560 Whitesville Road about 9:15 p.m. Sunday.
Nancy Akinyi Kasera, 38, of Thomasville, N.C., was charged with felony first-degree child cruelty under the Family Violence Act about 9 p.m. Monday. She also made the initial call to 911 from the travel center, saying the child wasn’t breathing. Troup County sheriff’s deputies declined to say if the two were related.
Kasera was being held this morning at the Troup County jail without bond.
Coroner Jeff Cook pronounced the girl dead at the scene. An autopsy was scheduled Monday morning.
Investigations by the sheriff’s department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations were ongoing, and no further information was immediately available.
