Body of child found in Brays Bayou following Amber Alert for missing Maliyah Bass

Two-year-old Maliyah Bass's adopted grandmother, Angel Harris, looks over the Braes Bayou from the bank at the 5200 block of Carrolton Street after a small child's body was found deceased in the bayou Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020, in Houston. Harris' son, Travion Thompson, has been dating Maliyah's mother, Sahara Simonee Ervin, for four months.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo gives an update on a small child's body found deceased in Braes Bayou at the 5200 block of Carrolton Street Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020, in Houston. The family of the missing two-year-old Maliyah Bass gathered at the scene and talked to the police. The child was last seen playing at the playground of an apartment.

Police believe foul play is likely behind the discovery of a 2-year-old girl’s body in the Brays Bayou in east Houston, hours after an Amber Alert was issued for the child who vanished in the Alief area.

The family of missing Maliyah Bass descended on a winding corner of the Brays Bayou Greenway Trail on Sunday after a jogger found the body around 10:30 a.m. in the water. Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller said the description of the child matches that of the missing girl, who was reportedly last seen Saturday morning at her apartment complex at 10600 Beechnut Street. But a medical examiner will ultimately identify the found child, he said.

The body was found about 15 miles downstream from the family’s apartment complex.

After coming up the grassy embankment where the body was found, police Chief Art Acevedo said he suspects foul play.

“Based on what we know, based on reported missing children in this city, we believe — although we can’t confirm it’s her — there’s a high probability it will be her,” Acevedo said, standing near the embankment where the child’s body was found. He declined to elaborate on the condition of the body or clothing.

Searchers on Saturday combed the area surrounding Maliyah’s apartment. According to police, she was last seen there carrying a pillow case with toy letter blocks at the complex’s playground. The girl’s mother told police she briefly went inside and could not find the girl when she returned to the playground.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert around 12:30 a.m. Sunday for the missing girl.

Travion Thompson, 21, who has been dating Maliyah’s mother for the past four months, said he felt like a father to the missing girl. Distraught and in tears, he said he last saw Maliyah before she went to the park. The child, he said, had been upset because he had broken her toy box. He gave her the pillow case — which he described as blue and white — to carry her toys instead, Thompson continued.

“We don’t even live over here,” Thompson cried, as Maliyah’s mother comforted him.

Thompson’s friend, Jamarcus Davis, said he believes someone took Maliyah and dumped her in the bayou.

“Someone had to bring her out here,” said Davis, who held Thompson back as a medical examiner vehicle drove by with the child’s body inside.

Acevedo expressed doubt on whether the child could have fallen into the bayou near her home and floated to where the waterway leads into the Gulfgate neighborhood from Third Ward.

“That’s not going to be probable,” the chief continued.

Thompson also contends HPD did not do enough to find his girlfriend’s child in the hours after her disappearance. In response, Acevedo said Texas Equusearch volunteers were called, a police helicopter was dispatched and an Amber Alert was issued.

“We did what we always do,” the chief said. “We would do anything to have that baby alive but she’s in God’s hands now. Now our job is to try our very best to find out what happened.”

Investigators provided no information on possible suspects in Maliyah’s disappearance. Police also reviewed neighboring surveillance video from the apartment complex but found no footage showing Maliyah leaving the complex, authorities said.

Acevedo asked residents along the Brays Bayou to check their home security cameras for signs of suspicious activity in the past 24 to 36 hours.

Chưa biết luôn. Nhưng tui có cảm giác ai đó bắt cóc, liệng xuống kênh. Thường mấy cái bay ở đây đâu dễ gì con nít đi khơi khơi rồi té xuống. Nhiều khi tui muốn xuống câu cá mà tìm hoài không có cái access nào để xuống được, hoăc cỏ dại cao ngất, hoặc private docks, họ đâu có cho mình vô.
Chờ thám tử Gà vô cho biết ý kiến.
