David Towner, 62, of Port Orange, Florida, was babysitting his 1-year-old granddaughter when he returned a rented vehicle to the Hertz facility at Daytona Beach International Airport, at approximately 5:13 p.m., with the young girl still inside, according to a news release from the sheriff's office on Tuesday.

The deputies who found the child said she appeared to have cried and seemed scared and hot. Paramedics who checked on the toddler later concluded she was "in good health," according to the news release. The
