Found Deceased TX - Maleah Davis, 4, Houston, 5 May 2019 *EX-FIANCÉ ARRESTED* #10

[ClaireNC]

But I thought he was seen on camera walking to his car on Sat and the neighbor saw him smoking on the patio.

. Was that ever confirmed by LE? Or just from the neighbor?

I’m surprised they have charged him with murder yet. Could it be because he’s not the one that caused her death?

 

[ClaireNC]

I want a reporter to ask BB point-blank "did you drop DV off at the hospital?". I want to see her face when she answers.

I agree. I’m surprised that hasn’t been asked already.

Vence told Quanell that he spent more time with the children than Maleah's mother, Brittany Bowens. He believed she wasn't a good mom.

When it came to a motive, Quanell thinks Vence snapped because Bowens found out he was having an affair.

“I asked him, 'Are you a cold-blooded murderer?' He said it was an accident ... He wanted to make it clear everything he was doing for the children by himself.

Vence then allegedly told me Quanell he dumped her body in Arkansas on the side of a road. He confessed to driving five hours.

He didn't bury her, he just dumped her body.
[...]

“What hurt me [is] he had no remorse. He had no feelings of regret ... and I can't stop crying. I had to stop myself from crying because he was so cold in this discussion with me. He cared more about what people think about him, than what he did with Maleah. There was no remorse.”

FIRST ON FOX: Quanell X gives details of Derion Vence confession

ETA: Video includes QX allegation that DV said he was going to leave BB for his mistress (who's not a male), and who QX also interviewed. DV was reportedly very surprised that QX talked to his mistress, and had inside info from her...

so DV's mother lied to the media about DV's lawyer:


She hid from our cameras outside the courtroom, but inside court she said in those phone calls she has not asked her son for Maleah's whereabouts.

She says her son's defense attorney advised her not to bring it up.

We reached out to that attorney, Tom Burton, who tells us her statement is not accurate.

He also asked the judge to be removed from the case Wednesday because the family has not paid him.

Suspect's mother won't ask son for Maleah Davis whereabouts


I speculate that part of the reason he dropped the case was the lie. Seems the apple doesn't fall far IMO.

Potential witness claims she saw Derion Vence's car in Arkansas when Maleah Davis went missing

Authorities also said someone dropped him off at the hospital.

Who, why and what charges they’ll face are questions authorities will soon answer.

I can't wait for HPD to answer that question. Will it be BB or the brother?

 

[MsBetsy]

I want to know why BB wanted CD to take Maleah to the Doctor, but changed her mind,and said DV would take her? On Monday. I also want to know why BB said CD didn't ask to have Maleah, when he did,but was denied even being able to look,and see her?
IIRC Monday BB was still in town( Houston) at the Apartment, she was there on TUES before leaving for the funeral.
So she knew before leaving Houston Maleah needed to go to the doctor.
So why was DV supposed to take Maleah to daycare instead of the doctor? On Monday,or Tuesday?

She knew if Maleah was seen by a doctor or by the daycare staff they would risk being found out.

I think it's as simple as that.

She had already gotten out of the abuse allegations before, she probably knew it wouldn't work this time.
That's why DV said he wasn't going to "take the fall" for this, or whatever he said. Imo

 

[Knox]

Idk, I'm thinking she probably was afraid to be seen with him in public during that time, but then again she does not appear to be that sharp if she couldn't even fill out reports correctly ,thought missing persons is closed on the weekends, and thought DV was circling the airport at night for hours in the rain. Moo

She thinks she is plenty smart? I've read the text messages on social media. Not as dumb as you think, MOO.

yeah her grammar is usually good

 

[PommyMommy]

Louisiana? Oh Lord.
It's Arkansas.

Louisiana? Wasn’t it Arkansas?

Shouldn’t that say Arkansas? Not Louisiana?

The tweet was deleted and a new one reads, "Arkansas." At least they're keeping us on our toes!

Actually, not asking inmate any details about the case is usually what defense lawyers ask of both the family and client. All conversations are recorded. Not sure why Attorney saying this is inaccurate, unless it's because this was CPS testimony with gag order. MOO

 

[Kitsey]

I don’t think there would be a smell at that point. But cadaver dogs should have hit on the car.

Do you remember what time that was?

They did.

HPD found blood linked to Maleah in the family home and signs Derion Vence tried to clean it up. Surveillance photos show Derion Vence walking in the house with bleach and walking out with a large black trash bag. Cadaver dogs were also triggered by the scent of decomposition in the trunk of his car.​

Is it common for a judge to be removed from a case because the defendant has not paid the lawyer?
I've never heard of that.

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

But I thought he was seen on camera walking to his car on Sat and the neighbor saw him smoking on the patio.

The article says the witness saw the car, not DV.
So now to find out who was in the car at the time this witness saw it going down the ramp.
MOO.

Hahaha! That one got me too, MsBetsy.

Bad sentence: He also asked the judge to be removed from the case Wednesday because the family has not paid him.

Better: On Wednesday, DV's lawyer asked to be removed from the case because DV's family has not paid him.

Oh, dropped off at the hospital by an unknown female. Hmmm, could this be the mistress QX mentioned? When he talked to DV in jail, DV was surprised when QX mentioned that he had spoke to his mistress and knew a few things.
