The preliminary investigation determined that the girl had been left unattended in a vehicle, though it remains unclear the exact length of time the child was in the vehicle and the circumstances surrounding the events.
It is believed the toddler was left in her car seat sometime Tuesday morning, and it wasn't until hours later that someone realized and called 911.
"It was gut-wrenching," Huntley said. "It almost made me want to break into tears, as a mother. Just hearing that pain from another mother, it was very hurtful to hear. I wouldn't wish that on anybody." An autopsy is scheduled to be performed by the New Jersey Northern Regional Medical Examiner's Office to determine the cause and manner of death.
Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit at 231-7100, the Franklin Township Police Department at 873-5533, or the Somerset County Crime Stoppers' Tip Line at 1-888-577-TIPS .
