Found Deceased TX - Maleah Davis, 4, Houston, 5 May 2019 #2

[CluelessWonder]

I have been away for a few days and didn't know about this poor little girl until now, and my heart is breaking. I'm also a little rage-filled.

Does anyone know the history of the POI? Where did he grow up? Where did he go to high school? Where has he worked?

Also, has anyone searched up boat ramps?

I wonder how long he spent hitting his own head to make it appear he was assaulted.

Unbelievable that he thinks what looks like a pretty minor abrasion or collection of scratches would be enough to render him unconscious for close to 24 hours.

Basically, my take, the last two people to see Maleah is Mom and POI. I am only assuming Mom went back home Tuesday evening after doing laundry at her Mom's house. Mom flies out on Wednesday, iirc. Maleah is reported missing Saturday morning, three and one half days after presumably only being in her mother and POI's care. I am sorry to hear the weather is so atrocious and hampering search efforts because this little girl may have been missing a lot longer than when she was reported missing allowing the poi, and maybe others, to adequately dispose of her. I cannot help making comparisons to AJ Freund's case. MOO

Or that a toddler would stay by his unconscious side for 24 hours. I mean, seriously?

I feel like hitting my own head right now.

It's pouring near the Galleria. I'm actually surprised we haven't had flash flood warnings yet...

I believe BB2 said she was there Monday doing laundry. Then flew to MA on Tuesday with the funeral on Wednesday.

So the last person beside BB and DV to see Maleah that we know of is BB2. The last people assumed to have seen Maleah would be BB & DV on Tuesday before BB left. Beyond that I have not seen any reports of anyone else seeing Maleah.

About as long as it took him to get that sheepish look down. SMH MOO

HOUSTON — Sugar Land police are now saying that Maleah Davis' stepfather's initial story to investigators didn't add up.

On Tuesday, the Sugar Land police spokesman said Vence's story has changed since he first talked to investigators -- specifically the nature of how he got to the hospital.

The spokesman said Sugar Land police is assisting the Houston Police Department, who are leading the investigation.

Yup....no where to go but down now....

I want to bring this over to this thread, because I really don’t understand her actions.
Why did she at first report only her daughter missing, then go back and add other two? It makes no sense!

Because she may not have known the kids were missing.
<modsnip - rumor>
DV has family in the area so she could not know if her youngest son was missing or with someone else.

Her plane was late and she got picked up after midnight, so perhaps just thought DV was circling at airport or out partying.

 

[Rhenish]

how are people in this type of situation posting on FB? I don't get it. If my kid were missing, I'd not be on WS or watching TV. Like, who thinks of doing that in this kind of situation? YOUR CHILD IS MISSING!!!!! Get off FB and care!

I have been thinking the same with regard to facebook browsing and posting. But, since I am sitting on one hand, I am just going to say that I think "certain parents" these days are just so detached from a lot of "things", like parenting, fatherhood/motherhood, morals and commitments and bonding. I would be insane and unable to function while absolutely beside myself a hysterical mess and inconsolable, and I would be talking (very loud and clearly) to the POI! Facebook would be the last thing I would even look at. But.....if one's hands are tied, so to speak, maybe Facebook is that persons only sort of outreach or connection....or way of assessing "the climate of the situation". I don't really know, and I certainly would not want to walk in the shoes of a parent missing a child. MOO,

So, here we go again. I've been around here for at least ten years and it always ends the same when it starts with an outlandish/BS story. I'm sorry Maleah, you and all children like you deserved better.

Exactly. It is sad that we can see this coming a mile away. We all know how this is going to end and it is heartbreaking. Would love nothing more than to be proven wrong.

Stepfather now person of interest in case of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis, police say

Police: Vence's story not consistent
Sugar Land police said they went to the Methodist Hospital Saturday because Vence showed up there with flesh wounds. They took video but handed it over to the Houston Police Department, who is investigating the case. Sugar Land police said Vence’s has changed his story several times during the course of his interview.

Police said it was different elements that had changed, such as how he got to the hospital. Sugar Land police contacted HPD since it was a crime that had happened outside of their city.

Sugar Land police also said the still photo of the silver Nissan seen on Saturday around 3 p.m. came from their license recognition camera close to the Cheesecake Factory near First Colony Mall.

MOO: let’s stop talking about Facebook so we don’t get shut down.

Or that a toddler would stay by his unconscious side for 24 hours. I mean, seriously?

Again, I think the story is that he was riding around in the extended cab of the truck for almost 24 hours then woke up when he was dumped on the side of the road in Sugar land. So, he and the baby weren’t on the side of the road for 24 hours. The baby was contained in the truck with him. JMO

Intensive search underway for girl, 4, whose stepfather says she was abducted on a Texas highway
“Vence told police he was in and out of consciousness for almost 24 hours while being driven around in the truck with the children. He woke up with his son on the side of a road in Sugar Land on Saturday around 6 p.m. and ultimately walked to a hospital, he said.”
