I can't guarantee this is accurate, but KHOU is reporting on the discrepancy of dates when mother was "away"

Where is Maleah Davis? Timeline in the disappearance of 4-year-old Houston girl


KHOU 11 News reached out to Harrell Funeral Home in Springfield, Mass. Ron Harold there said, yes, Maleah's mother Brittany Bowens attended her father Benjamin’s funeral on Saturday, April 27.

Bowens says she flew back to Houston the following Friday, May 3, the night before Maleah was reported missing.

So that claim is verified.

Here's the next question. Sherrie tweeted us: “Some of us are hearing from searchers - he has confessed - and the search is officially over. Can you confirm?”

So far, we have not heard from police about any confession, so we cannot verify that. But we can tell you the claim the search is officially over is false!

Tim Miller from Texas Equusearch says there's quote “no truth in that.”

If you have something for us to verify, reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter. You can also email us at verify@khou.

I noticed that too!

I don’t see it. I tried to upload a still ss I took but it keeps giving me an upload error

I've wondered the same. But I supposed it's possible that the camera is inside and pointed out the window--unlikely the neighbor would have been allowed to mount it on the exterior of a rental apartment. Might be hard to see through glass. moo

it is mounted on the exterior
there's video of it

Looks like there's a Hired Defense Attorney AND a Public Defender listed for DV...

Maybe that's why today was rescheduled....he hired an attorney.

I appreciate you going to the trouble of finding and posting that. I was saying I couldn’t see the store that others saw. Again, thank you for the effort

Well, that's interesting...his hired attorney was General Counsel for Justice for Kids which provided advocacy in cases of child abuse....

Pure craziness as we attempted to interview Quanell X and Brittany Bowens after the hearing got rescheduled. #MaleahDavis supporters filled the halls shouting insults at Maleah’s mother and blaming her for what happened. #khou11

Brittany Bowens, #MaleahDavis mother, swarmed by news crews as she left the courtroom. Someone shouts murderer as she gets on the elevator. Derion Vence was here, but did not make an appearance. No word on additional charges.
