LOS ANGELES (March 19) - Authorities on Thursday found the body of a toddler believed to be an 18-month-old girl reported missing by her mother, who said someone knocked her out while she was putting the child into her car seat.
The 20-year-old mother, whose name was not released, was not in custody and was cooperating, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Pat Nelson.
"At this point I would not term her a suspect. That may change as circumstances develop," Nelson said.
The mother told authorities she last saw her daughter, Emma Leigh Barker, at 5 p.m. Wednesday while putting her into a car seat at Lancaster City Park in northern Los Angeles County, Nelson said.
The mother said she was knocked unconscious by someone she didn't see. She told investigators she woke up at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in her car in a parking lot in neighboring Palmdale and her daughter was missing, and she contacted sheriff's deputies
30 minutes to an hour later, said Deputy Aura Sierra.
