Ariel and Avery were two twin siblings who were supposed to be dropped off for daycare. Per PEOPLE, the two toddlers were found dead after their caretaker forgot to drop them off. They were left in a hot car for hours, with temperatures rising to 90 degrees.
Officers arrived to perform a wellness check on the twins. Regrettably, the twins were unresponsive by the time they were found. Marshall Suter, the girls' father, talked to KFOR. He emphasized how much he loved his two daughters. "They were the best girls the world has ever seen. It honestly hurts because the girls were so deeply loved and cared for," he said.
An anonymous family member also spoke to the publication. "This is truly tragic and has been very hard on the family involved especially where hateful comments are concerned. I hope this will at least show people that it wasn't intentional and truly an accident. This family would just like some peace in this difficult and heavy time."
