A Sylvania woman is facing charges in the death of her infant in Burke County.

Life saving measures were given to a one-year-old girl, who had been found in approximately four feet of water.
The child was later pronounced dead upon arriving at Burke Health.

Investigators have arrested and charged her mother, 34-year-old Alisha Stevens, with one count of Murder in the Second Degree.
 
Alisha Stevens was grilling outside a Burke County home on Monday afternoon when her 1-year-old daughter fell into a water-filled hole and went unnoticed, authorities said this week.
Stevens, 34, of Sylvania, Georgia, has been charged with murder in the second degree in the death of Adlyn Stevens.
The death has shocked the community and led the suspect’s sister to warn people against rushing to judgment. In a Facebook post, Rachel Heinemeyer Lesesne said the family lost a precious baby that was a joy to everyone she met.
“This was an accident that could have happened to anyone,” Lesesne said. “My sister loves all of her children and would never set out to hurt any of them. Judgment aside from anyone, a baby that meant so much to our family is gone and there’s so much more to the picture than what the internet leads you to believe. There are four other children that lost their baby sister and waiting for the results of this investigation without their mother.”

Authorities say the girl was unsupervised while running around the property.
“Alisha Stevens later found Adyln Stevens in a 3-foot deep hole filled with water lying face up unresponsive,” an arrest warrant says.
