The Houston Police Department first announced that Maleah Davis was last seen around 9 pm. Saturday night, we thought we were with three unknown men in a blue Chevrolet van.
According to the police, Maleah's father-in-law told the authorities that he, his 2-year-old brother and his brother, had been "kidnapped by 3 men on Friday night" in North Houston.
The father-in-law, Darion Vence, said he and the boy were dropped off Saturday night in the Sugar Land area, just southwest of downtown.
Maleah was last seen wearing a light blue zip jacket, blue jeans, sneakers and was wearing a pink bow in her hair, police said.
Sgt. Mark Holbrook, of the Homicide Division of the Houston Police Department, told reporters Sunday: "I realize that there are a lot of whites in the story." He added that the police hoped that the public could help them "fill the gaps" in the story provided by Vence.
According to Holbrook, Vence reportedly told investigators that he, Maleah, and his 2-year-old son were traveling Friday night to George Bush Intercontinental Airport to pick up Maleah's mother from Massachusetts.
Vence heard a "popping sound," like a flat tire, Holbrook said, and parked to check.
A blue van then stopped behind the vehicle. Two Hispanic men went out and one of them said, "Maleah looks very nice, very kind," Holbrook said. The other man hit Vence in the head and he lost consciousness.
Vence then woke up at the back of the truck with Maleah and the 2-year-old, he told the police. There were now three Hispanic men in the truck.
He said that he was in and out of consciousness until about 6 pm. Saturday, when he woke up on Route 6 with the 2 year old boy. Maleah was gone, said Vence.
He then went to a nearby hospital where he received medical treatment and reported the disappearance of Maleah.
The vehicle that Vence was driving on the way to the airport – a Nissan Altima owned by Maleah's mother – has also disappeared, Holbrook said.
A traffic camera captured an image of the car crossing an intersection in Sugar Land just before 3 pm Saturday afternoon.
Holbrook asked anyone who could have seen Vence, the Nissan Altima or the three men in the van's contact authorities.
Chevrolet's number plate number reported is unknown, police said on Twitter, as well as the reason for Maleah's disappearance.
