Turner allegedly “blacked out” and called 911 hours later after she woke up in her car outside a dental office, about 10 miles away from the mall, and her daughter was nowhere to be found, the outlet reports.

Turner allegedly told dispatch she and Sterling, who had Asperger syndrome, were “at the movie theater and … we separated at that point in time, and to be honest with you, I had too much to drink, and I woke up in my car, and she had called me 19 times,” the outlet reports, citing court documents.
