The remains of a child discovered in Arkansas may be those of 4-year-old Maleah Davis, missing from her Houston home since April 30, Houston police said Friday.
Authorities said a child's body had been recovered from a garbage bag at a location that police had been directed to by the girl's stepfather, who is a suspect in her disappearance.
Maleah was last seen on April 30 when surveillance footage captured her going into the her mother and stepfather's Houston home with her stepfather, 26-year-old Derion Vence. Other surveillance footage from a neighbor showed Vence leaving the apartment on May 3 with his son and a laundry basket. "Whoever's responsible for Maleah's death, I anticipate murder charges," Finner said at Friday's press briefing."Who and when, I don't know right now.""When you mess with anybody in our community, you hurt our entire community," Finner said."And we're coming after you."
Officers arrested Vence earlier this month on suspicion of tampering with a human corpse, according to police. Acevedo said Vence had not been cooperating with the investigation. Police believe the 4-year-old was murdered and were looking to find her body to give her family closure, Houston authorities said last week.
