The Amber Alert initially identified two people thought to be with the girl — Kahlil Malik Tatum, the janitor, and Rickie Sheridan Lyles — and said they were in a white 1976 GMC truck with the Maryland license plate 305015. But Thursday night, D.C. police issued a second alert that did not include Lyles’s name because they didn’t believe he was traveling with the girl.

Based on accounts from the girl’s family, police say the mother asked Tatum to care for the girl on Feb. 26.

He was trying to be Relisha’s godfather.” But she added that Tatum did not know the family before they moved into the shelter.

“Mr. Tatum,” as he was known to the residents of the D.C. General family homeless shelter, cut a unique figure for a janitor.
He dressed sharply, often in Polo designer clothing, sometimes in a suit and tie. He kept his burgundy SUV, decorated with an oversize Redskins window sticker, spotless. And he was given to seemingly random acts of generosity for the hundreds of children living in the former hospital campus, according to shelter residents.
Sometimes it was quarters for the shelter’s gumball machine. Sometimes it was much more.

Police sources also told CBS 6 the FBI was in the Gilpin Court area a few days last week.
Residents of the area told CBS 6′s Chelsea Rarrick off camera that they remember seeing officers questioning people in their neighborhood.
However, now the D.C. police chief is saying there is no evidence suggesting that Tatum is anywhere other than the D.C. metro area.

D.C. police stormed the Gateway Days Inn on New York Avenue Friday night, a search warrant in hand for room 245. The hotel's clerk told ABC7 off-camera that he checked 51-year-old Kahlil Tatum into room 245 on March 1, along with his Chevy SUV.

Recently, ABC7 uncovered an Instagram video of Relisha, from an account in her's mother name, Shamika Young.
The video is time-stamped March 1 - which is important, because Relisha's mother originally reported seeing her last three days earlier, before the 1st of March.

"Felons stay here," [referring toGateway Days Inn] one guest told ABC7, as well as many who have lost their homes. For that reason, guests say Tatum stood out when he checked in on March 1 wearing a shirt and tie, and paying with a Mastercard.

However, another Days Inn guest who did not want to go on-camera told ABC7 he did see Relisha Rudd - not there at the hotel, but at the Virginia Williams Homeless Center on Rhode Island Avenue NE, around the 1st or 2nd of this month.

The guest said the homeless center [referring to Virginia Williams Homeless Center] is also where he bumped into Kahlil Tatum. Interestingly, the center is just across the street from the Home Depot store where Tatum reportedly purchased large, industrial-sized garbage bags.

"I'm pulling at everything in me and there's nothing in my gut that tells me we're in a recovery operation. I feel that we're searching for a live person," said Derrica Wilson, a former police officer. She is convinced Relisha could be anywhere - still alive, but not well.
"This case has really rocked me to the core. I personally feel that this little girl was sold. I think her mother sold her to Tatum and I think Tatum has sold her in this world wide industry of trafficking," said the former officer.

the search for Relisha needs to expand far beyond D.C. and include more than just police.
"She could be anywhere and we need to help find her. We would like the public to get involved. Again, somebody knows something," pointed out Natalie [of B&MF].

Natalie Wilson [of B&MF]said Relisha could have shorter hair or may be dressed like a little boy, so it's important take an extra look at every child you come across.
