Hall claimed she woke just before 9 a.m. Sunday to find the girl missing from their upstairs unit.
According to Gwinnett County police, investigators began to suspect foul play due to inconsistencies in the women’s statements. After gathering evidence, officers arrested Hall and Owens, and say that Hall told them where they could find her daughter’s body.
