North Las Vegas police hopeful missing 3-year-old is aliveZaela’s family members say Beasely was supposed to be in court for a grand jury hearing on Tuesday to start the process of indicting him on murder charges but the hearing was canceled because his lawyer quit.
Beasley's arrest report says Zaela went to visit Beasley on Aug. 15. Over the next week, Beasley reportedly refused to give Zaela back. The report goes on to say Beasley was not listed on Zaela’s birth certificate -- “nor has he ever been granted any type of parental/custody rights.”
On Aug. 22, Zaela’s mother, Lakeia Walker, met Beasley at Craig Ranch Regional Park in North Las Vegas. That’s when Beasley told Walker their daughter was in California with family members. Arrest papers say the two then took off to California, leaving Walker's phone and car at the park.
^^^Excellent video, HayLouise, thanks! It pretty much parallels what I found and I like the way the poster relied on and analyzed LE statements, NMEC and quotes from the grandmother.
I'd like to know: how long Beasley supposedly had Zaela before the mother told grandmother that he had her and took her to CA to visit relatives (a lie); was the relationship between the parents friendly at that time and why there was a 7-day gap before mom took off.
IMO if we knew the answers to those questions the timeline would get much clearer. In the meantime though it looks like the focus is on Las Vegas and Texas. That's a 3-month piece of time. Mexico is a wild card at the moment.
I believe Zaela disappeared at the start, meaning early to mid-August. Whether or not she disappeared while in the custody of both parents remains to be seen. All MOO.

Or any state along the way!her body is in one of those states. gma started asking too many questions so they took a "road trip" to dump her.
I think she disappeared in early to mid August too. I think that Mom's FB holds a clue. In June and July she was posting memes critical of 'dead beat dads.'
I am guessing that Grandmother urged her daughter to file for child support, since Grandmother was supporting her daughter and granddaughter at the time.
I think Beasley got wind of that and came and pretended to step up as a father. He tells her..' "Let me take the baby to see her grandparents in Cali' and I bet they will give us some $$$.
So he dumps poor Zaela off somewhere, probably sells her, then comes back and tells his Baby mama that his family has the baby and it's all good---they can go on a honeymoon now---in his Moms car that he stole from her....
I don't think Zaela's Mom took part in the actual 'selling' of the child. I think she just believed the BS he told her because she wanted to be with him...
I don't get why the mom took off w him after she thought he was abusing their kid. im not very hopeful in this case![]()

Zaela is not getting enough attention. I reached out to some reporters who responded that they will do follow up stories as well as Nancy Grace fb (desperate times......)
Well, never say never but after 144 days and no word on Zaela's whereabouts from any family member IMO the odds are very slim that she's still alive.[UPDATE] Toddler STILL MISSING after nearly 5 months, cops ‘hold on to hope’ she’s alive; father charged . Still no news it's been so long

Certainly if dad knew she was alive somewhere he'd tell LE rather than risk a murder charge down the road. OTOH, I suppose he could be hoping her body isn't found but even then he's risking a no-body case. Why else would he "clam up" and not cooperate with LE to find her and bring her home?
There's no evidence that Zaela's hidden with a friend or relative and it's unlikely that anyone would traffic a 2-year-old who's been reported as missing. The only thing that makes sense is that someone harmed/murdered her. MOO.
