Abria Spriggs and Daughter Anena Found Deceased Inside Vehicle in Marietta

 A family in Augusta is preparing to bring home two loved ones whose deaths have left relatives searching for answers and facing an unimaginable loss. Abria Spriggs, 31, and her two-year-old daughter, Anena, were found deceased inside a vehicle Sunday morning near Milford Baptist Church on Milford Church Road in Marietta, according to information provided by the family. The circumstances remain under investigation.

The discovery was reported at approximately 10:45 a.m. Sunday. The location, near Milford Baptist Church, has become the focus of an inquiry involving local authorities, while relatives work through the shock of losing both a mother and her young child. Publicly available details remain very limited, and police have not confirmed a full account of what happened. Officials have said there are no outstanding suspects, according to the information shared by the family. Investigators have not released a detailed public timeline.

Spriggs was 31 and a mother of five. Anena, her youngest daughter, was just two years old. Their deaths have left relatives grieving two beloved members of the same family at once, while also trying to make arrangements to bring them back to Augusta for burial. The family’s wish to lay mother and daughter to rest together has become one immediate focus amid the uncertainty. Relatives are also trying to protect their privacy.

James Kennedy, Spriggs’s great-uncle, spoke about the family’s devastation and the difficulty of understanding what may have been happening in her life. He said relatives had not realized how serious her struggles might have become and expressed regret that he had not known more, believing he could have offered support. His comments reflect the painful questions families can face after such a sudden loss, but they do not establish the circumstances of the deaths. The family is left waiting for confirmed answers.

Authorities have not publicly confirmed the detailed account understood by the family, and the investigation remains important in establishing what occurred. Police have reportedly said there are no outstanding suspects, but that statement does not answer every question about the case. Until officials release verified findings, the sequence of events and the circumstances surrounding both deaths should be treated with care. Speculation can add to the distress experienced by relatives and the wider local community. Further conclusions should await verified investigative findings.

For the family, the practical work of arranging transportation and the funeral plans continues alongside grief. Relatives are seeking to bring Spriggs and Anena home to Augusta so they can be laid to rest together. No further details about the arrangements, services, or a public memorial were included in the information provided. Those decisions may take time as loved ones navigate the days ahead and determine how they wish to remember them. The family has not announced service details.

The family’s account also raises a broader reminder that emotional distress can sometimes remain unseen, even among people surrounded by relatives and friends. A person who is struggling may need compassionate attention and support from trusted people and qualified professionals. It is important not to assign blame or assume that loved ones could have known exactly what was happening. Support, open conversation and timely help can matter, while each situation deserves careful, individual understanding. Listening without judgment can help someone feel less alone.

Abria Spriggs and little Anena leave behind relatives who are mourning two lives and hoping for clarity. As investigators work to establish the facts, the family is focused on bringing them home and remembering them with love and care always. Their loss deserves compassion, privacy and support, as loved ones make arrangements and face the days ahead.
