The search for Maleah Davis took a heartbreaking turn on Friday, as a community activist said her stepfather told him he was responsible for her death.
According to Quanell X, who has been representing Maleah’s mother, Maleah’s stepfather Derion told him in a conversation on Friday that Maleah died in an accident, though Quanell X said he did not say exactly how. Quanell X told reporters Derion gave key details and said where he left her remains in Arkansas.
Authorities in Arkansas reported finding a black bag with a foul odor Friday morning and were waiting for Texas law enforcement officials, who were flying Derion to Arkansas to help identify the location.
Sources within the Houston Police Department, who sent officers to Arkansas, said the remains appear to be those of a child, but investigators had not confirmed that they are Maleah’s. Derion’s account came through Quanell X, and the details had not been confirmed by investigators at the time of this report.
