Two family members told WHBQ the baby's father discovered the infant dead inside the dryer.
Neal has been charged with second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
Caseleigh’s cause of death was ruled to be "thermal injuries," according to the Poinsett County Sheriff's Office.
Neal is jailed on a $1 million bond, WHBQ reports.
