A Georgia mother faces felony murder and child cruelty charges after
her 1-year-old daughter was found dead in a pond last week,
authorities said.

Asia Calabrese-Lewis, 24, was arrested and booked in the Fulton
County Jail, according to a May 12 press release from the Sandy
Springs Police Department.

On May 11, around 6:40 p.m., officers were called to the Concourse
office complex in Sandy Springs, an Atlanta suburb, where Lewis was
allegedly having "some type of episode," police said.

"The child's father arrived and asked where the baby was," the
release states. Lewis then allegedly said "that the baby was
deceased in a pool."

An extensive search was launched and 1-year-old Nirvana Oliver was
eventually found in a body of water, according to police. The girl
was rushed to the Children's Hospital of Atlanta, where she was
pronounced dead.

According to authorities, officers responded to a business the day
before about a welfare check involving possible child abuse
involving Lewis and an unspecified juvenile, 11 Alive, 13WMAZ, and
Fox 5 Atlanta report.

However, no charges were filed as police reportedly said they did
not feel a crime had been committed. Police then made a referral to
the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS) after
escorting the mother and juvenile back to their home and making
contact with the child's father, 11 Alive reports.

DFCS said in a statement obtained by 13WMAZ that it is cooperating
with law enforcement in the death investigation.

"We opened a case and attempted a home visit on May 11," the
statement read, in part. "This loss is devastating, and our deepest
condolences go out to Nirvana's loved ones."

The events leading up to Nirvana's death were not made clear, but
her grandfather, Kenneth Oliver, said Lewis left with his
granddaughter on Thursday evening and returned alone, 11 Alive
reports. Soon after, authorities were on the lookout for Lewis, who
allegedly told police "F the baby," when she was asked about the
girl's location during her arrest, police said, according to the
outlet.

An arrest warrant obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta alleges Lewis was caught
on surveillance video arriving at a nearby retention pond about 90
minutes before investigators pulled Nirvana's body from the water.
The pair were reportedly out of frame for several minutes before the
mother was seen walking away naked.
