Authorities in west Georgia say a North Carolina woman was charged with child cruelty after her eleven-year-old daughter was found dead in the back of her car parked at a Georgia truck stop.

Nancy Akinyi Kasera of Thomasville, North Carolina, called 911 from the LaGrange Travel Center Sunday night saying the child was not breathing.

Coroner Jeff Cook pronounced Nicole Aduma Kasera dead at the scene. Authorities still have not released autopsy results to determine the cause of death.

An eight-year old daughter who was also with the woman was placed in foster care.

Sheriff Donny Tuer said the autopsy revealed the girl had been dead for 12-24 hours before Kasera's call. Tuer said the examination also confirmed initial observations that her body had numerous injuries from head to foot.

"A good word would be tortured, she looks like she's been just tortured," said Troup County Sheriff Donny Tuer. "Her arms had been bound numerous times. She had very bad injuries to her arms and her wrists."

Kasera told police she had driven to Aubu, Alabama for a job interview.
