The baby's mother, Cortney Bell, was arrested Saturday in connection with her death.

Bell was arrested in a Home Depot parking lot in Conyers. She has been charged with murder in the second degree, cruelty to children and deprivation of a minor.

A 911 call obtained by Channel 2 Action News reveals a 2-year old child was the first person to notice her newborn sister disappeared.

"My 2-year old says she's gone. I've looked everywhere in the house and I don't know another possibility," said Bell to a Newton County 911 operator.

Bell told the operator she fell asleep on the couch inside her home. Bell said she had last seen Caliyah five hours before she called 911.
