Authorities continue to uncover chilling new data in the case of the two tiny Texas girls who died abandoned by their mother in a vehicle in that state while temperatures exceeded 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although when she brought them to the hospital last week Amanda Hawkins said that her two daughters - Brynn Hawkins, 1, and Addyson Overgard-Eddy, 2 - had probably become ill from eating wildflowers, at least one witness would have told the Police that the screams of the girls crying inside the vehicle reached the house where for 15 hours the 19-year-old woman was visiting friends.

One of those present told her to put them in the house, but she would have replied: 'No, it's okay. They cry like that to sleep, "said Kerr County Sheriff WR" Rusty "Hierholzer, in an interview with The Washington Post. Hierholzer also stated that a 16-year-old friend from Hawkins came out to his car at some point and slept for a while inside, but apparently did nothing to take the girls inside the house either.

Around noon the next day, Hawkins finally pulled the girls out of the vehicle and upon seeing their sinful condition bathed them in an attempt to revive them. Seeing that their condition was not improving, he took them to the hospital.

The sheriff's office said the circumstances of the girls' deaths were dire and that the charges against the mother could escalate. "This is by far the most horrible case of child abuse I have seen in the 37 years I have been enforcing the law," said Hierholzer.
