ABC15 was there when detectives knocked at the apartment where Jahessye and her mother Jerice Hunter live.
Hunter opened the door and detectives went inside, spending close to 20 minutes with the girl's mother.
It was the only time Hunter was publicly seen.
Her uncle, Johnny Johnson, said Hunter has had enough with media exposure since young Jahessye
was reported missing Tuesday afternoon .
According to Johnson, Hunter is in desperate need of rest after days without sleeping and eating.
“She’s not a mean person,” he added.
“When they put all that crazy stuff on the news about her, how do you think she feels?” Johnson said, referring to
Hunter’s criminal record .
Prior to visiting Hunter, investigators visited the apartments and talked to several neighbors around 9 a.m.
Somia Abdelgdir, through a translator, said detectives asked her about the day Jahessye went missing.
Abdelgdir, who lives in the apartment across the way, said she helped Hunter look for Jahessye shortly after she realized the little girl was missing.
Abdelgdir drove Hunter, who is eight months pregnant, around the neighborhood and remembers Hunter crying and being stressed out.
