Found Deceased TX - Maliyah 'Tootie' Bass, 2, Houston, 22 Aug 2020 *arrests*

[rosesfromangels]

I can’t open that link without downloading the app but on a map I see what appears to be a Bayou right next to apartments

That's funny, I didn't have to download any app. Oh well. I'm sure the rest of you feel like I do - heart in stomach. Bless this little baby girl.

Amateur opinion and speculation

So is someone talking ? Would like to know circumstances and who found her if the reports are true

Tim Miller confirms a child’s body has been located. No confirmation on age or if it could be that of Maliyah Bass. He’s waiting for more information from detectives before continuing search. @KPRC2Taisha

Brays Bayou borders the northern part of Arthur Storey Park. (The park is just north of the complex.)

Yeah if that’s the Bayou the body was found, it’s possible that she wandered there. It’s very close.

So she was thrown in the bayou ? Or she was alone longer than what was said and she wandered there and drown? Now I have to google bayou I have never seen one I don’t think
Anyone check arrest records yet ?

I guess we won't know until an autopsy is done? Unless there's obvious injuries of course

 

[NewMama]

Is the back of the complex fenced? So many questions. I'm inclined to believe the original breaking news had location wrong seeing as Brays Bayou is so close to the complex.

On the Google earth map I'm looking at it doesn't look close enough for a child to toddle to?

 

[happyday]

Oh no! Yeah, the location of the bayou will say a lot. Southeast Houston is not where she lived.

Welp this is awful... Bayou is 15 miles away from apartment

“The body of a young girl was found in a southeast Houston bayou Sunday morning as crews searched for a missing 2-year-old approximately 15 miles away.

Crews located the body of a young African American female Sunday morning near Lidstone Street and Old Spanish Trail, according Houston Fire Dept. officials.”

The apartment complex looks rather large. We don't know exactly where in the complex she was last seen. If I'm looking at the correct location, Bray's Bayou is right outside the back end of the complex.

ETA - well it certainly isn't 15 miles away. This is weird!

HPD homicide detectives are en route to the 5200 block of Carrolton Street after a small child was found deceased in Braes Bayou. There is no ID or cause of death at this time. The scene is still developing and no further information is available at this time. #hounews

Finally a location - thank you !

 

[lalalemon]

Well she didn't get to that Bayou by herself did she?!

 

[YaYa_521]

Here's a satellite image. You can zoom in and out. I don't see any bayou close by?

Thanks for the link. I zoomed in a bit and it appears Bray's Bayou is labeled on the map right behind the complex.

 

[NewMama]

It was SE Houston. This reeks of foul play. That original tweet was right about the intermediate direction. Same bayou. It goes by Brays or Braes - as long I've been alive. I don't even know if it's possible for her to have fallen in north of her complex and travel that far. We're low on rainfall, I believe.
