An 18-year-old woman was found dead in her burning car in South Fulton County last week, and police are looking for a man who tried to use her debit card three hours later.
Tayla Torres was found deceased near the intersection of Connally Court and Connally Drive, and her mother, Pearlie Haynes, told Channel 2 Action News she’s livid with whoever killed her only daughter.

“I hope your momma tell on you because if you were gone, your momma would be feeling the same pain I’m feeling now,” Haynes said. “I want you to see my face. I want you to know how much I loved my daughter.”
East Point police told Channel 2 someone tried to use Torres’ debit card at the BB&T bank in the Camp Creek Marketplace mere hours after her death. Surveillance images from the bank show the man police are searching for along with the distinctive shoes he was wearing.
