Florida Officials released audio of an Oklahoma pediatrician’s eerie 911 calls claiming her young daughter was drowning in a pool at a short-term rental home in El Portal. Investigators said it was all an act to cover up the little girl’s death.

Gupta said her daughter got into the pool at the home at 156 NW 90th St. while she was asleep.

The 911 operator encouraged Gupta to try and find a way to get the little girl out of the pool.

“You need to try and get her out of the water,” the operator tells her. “Find something to see if you can try to pull her out with.”

According to the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office, no water was found in Aria Talathi’s, lungs or stomach and was dead before she was placed in the pool.

Investigators believe she was smothered to death.
Gupta was later arrested at her home in the sooner state.

• Aria’s father had been seeking full custody before her death, raising concerns about Gupta’s mental state. He had no idea his daughter was taken to Florida.
  

Gupta and her lawyers maintain that Aria’s death was an accident.

Gupta remained in jail with no bond as of Monday. She is due back in court in May.
