Cops: As Mom Spent 6 Hours Getting Hair Done, Baby Died

Two cases of youngsters losing their lives in hot cars are making headlines this week. Skylar Fowler, 1, became the first child to die in a hot car in Georgia this year in a June 15 incident that's emerging following mother Dijanelle Fowler's Monday arrest. 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports she is charged with second-degree murder, child cruelty, and concealing the death of her daughter, whom cops say was left in Fowler's car for six hours while she got her hair done. 

DeKalb County police believe the death was accidental; the 25-year-old left the car running with air conditioning on, but at some point between her 10am appointment and 4pm return to the car, the car died. WXIA reports video and witness statements indicate Fowler didn't leave the salon at any point during that six-hour period.
