Casey Dyan Keller, 33, was arrested for leaving her three-year-old child in a hot car overnight in Sanford, Florida
A Florida mother has been arrested after leaving her three-year-old daughter in a hot car overnight when she took a trip to the liquor store.
Casey Dyan Keller, 33, of Sanford, went to a liquor store with her three children Saturday night and returned home with the two older children but didn’t realize the youngest was left behind.
The young girl remained in the car overnight with the windows up where she was overheated and drifted in and out of consciousness.
Keller realized her daughter was missing Sunday morning and called police saying her car was stolen with her toddler inside, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
The child was later found unharmed in the car in Keller’s apartment complex parking lot.
The little girl was taken to the hospital and is in critical but stable condition.

Police found no evidence that the car was stolen or even tampered with.
Keller was arrested for child neglect with great bodily harm and booked into Seminole County jail on $15,000 bond.
‘The officer got the baby out of the car, then ran to his truck really quick, then bolted to the hospital,’ neighbor Brenda Johnson said to Click Orlando.
‘It upsets me very bad. I cried. Honestly, I cried. It shook me up pretty bad. She laid there lifelessly,’ she added.

Another neighbor said that Keller banged on her door early Sunday morning frantically searching for her child.
‘She was banging on my door, and I had no idea what was going on, and she did it for 30 minutes, and I kept trying to tell her she had the wrong door,’ neighbor Barbara Pitts said.
‘I’m thinking more of help than jail, like maybe counseling or something,’ Pitts added.
Keller has a court hearing scheduled for Monday morning.
Her two other children are staying with family members.
