“At first I thought he meant maybe she was by the pool, and I said, okay, well, tell her to come in.’”

When Lewis looked out the back door, she saw A.J. “raking in the water with his hand, like he was trying to grab [Adrianna].”

“I ran out, ran out of the house,” Lewis said. “When I got to the pool…she was face down…She was very purple, very blue.”

The little girl was airlifted to hospital where she later died.

“I kissed her, I hugged her,” Lewis said of what she did after a doctor told her that Adrianna was dead. “I touched her. Because I knew that it would be the last time, the last time I’d see her. I knew right then my baby was gone.”

Authorities at first believed the girl’s drowning was accidental.
