HOUSTON - The mother of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis dropped several bombshells against the girl's stepfather Friday afternoon.

Maleah was reported missing Sunday. Her stepfather told police that he, Maleah and his 2-year-old son were abducted by three men in a blue Chevrolet truck.

Investigators have said Maleah’s stepfather, Darion Vence, is a person of interest in connection with her disappearance, citing inconsistencies in his story about how she was taken.

Maleah's mother, Brittany Bowens, with community activist Quanell X speaking for her, claimed Friday afternoon that there is surveillance video of Vence coming out of his apartment with a bottle of Clorox and a laundry basket with a garbage bag inside.

"When he spoke to the mother, he told her he was cleaning up the apartment, and she didn't understand why he would be cleaning up the apartment," Quanell X said. "He went and bought an extra bottle of Clorox... to clean out the apartment."

Quanell X said Bowens and Vence got into an argument after Bowens caught Vence sending naked photos to another man and she confronted him.

"She told him that she was giving back his ring and that she was not going to marry him, and I believe that caused him to snap in anger against young Maleah," he said.

Quanell X claimed Bowens was concerned months ago about Vence "whooping" Maleah because she was special needs and too small.

"There is a reason to believe, based on what I know now, that there are issues of him possibly molesting Maleah," Quanell X said.

He said Bowens had not told law enforcement officials about the allegations.

When asked why Bowens kept the information a secret, Quanell X said, "(She) did not want to believe by any stretch of the imagination that this man was capable of what is obvious that has taken place here. She has suffered a lot of abuse in her life."

The allegations come one day after a vehicle that police said was stolen from Maleah's family was recovered around 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Missouri City.

Police are checking surveillance video at stores in the shopping center to see if they can determine when the silver Nissan Altima was dropped off and by whom.

Investigators said Thursday they have not been able to reach Vence and that they would like for him to help assemble a sketch of the people he says were involved in the abduction.

Court documents show Maleah's maternal grandmother has requested that the children stay in her care.

Maleah is still missing.

Taxi Driver Finds Car Reported Stolen In Maleah Davis Case

Authorities say that Maleah Davis' stepfather, who was the last adult to see her, changed his story several times and has stopped responding to calls.

The car connected to the case of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis was discovered on Thursday morning in a parking lot in Missouri City, Texas, by a taxi driver.

The Nissan Altima was originally reported stolen by Maleah’s stepfather, Darion Vence, who said he was knocked out by two Latinos, who ended up taking Maleah, KHOU reports.

It has now been a week since Maleah disappeared. The search for the little girl has since moved to the same area where the car was discovered near Highway 6 and Murphy Road.

Police say that there is nothing unusual about the car, although crime scene investigators will be taking a closer look.

“The car looks fine. Everything looks normal on the car. The tires look OK,” HPD Homicide Detective Kenneth Fregia told the news station. “It doesn’t mean they weren’t changed at some point, I don’t know.”

The trunk of the vehicle also looked to be in normal shape.

Maleah’s mother, Brittany Bowens, arrived at the scene of the discovery on Thursday morning, where she reportedly shouted, “Where’s Maleah?” before collapsing to the ground.

Police are also still looking into clues about the alleged kidnappers’ blue pickup truck.

As for Vence, Fregia said that he has since changed his story about Maleah’s disappearance several times. More recently, authorities have been trying to get into contact with him, but he has not responded to their calls.

“Each time we have tried to talk to him or have him come in, we have been unsuccessful,” Fregia said.

Vence initially told investigators that he was approached by two Latinos when he stopped his car on Friday night near Highway 59 and Greens Road to check on his tires after hearing a “popping” sound.

Vence said that one of the men commented that Maleah looked “very sweet,” before he was struck over the head and rendered unconscious. When he came to, he was with three Latinos in the still-missing pickup truck. He drifted in and out of consciousness before finally waking up on Saturday evening with only his 1-year-old son present. Maleah was gone.

According to the Associated Press, Fregia said that he currently wasn’t concerned about Vence’s whereabouts.

Maleah and her brothers were removed from the home where they lived with Vence and Bowens in August after she suffered a head injury that led to the little girl needing multiple brain surgeries.

They were returned to the home back in February, but were still in state custody and a caseworker checked in on them every month.

As KCENTV reports, her head injury was explained as being the result of falling off a chair. However, doctors said that the story didn’t add up and suspected abuse. Court records show that Maleah was only taken to the hospital at the behest of her grandmother, Brenda Bowens, who was living in the same home as Bowens and Vence.

A court order was recently issued banning Bowens and Vence from contact with the other children, the news station notes.

Maleah’s younger half-brother is in the custody of his paternal grandmother, while her older brother is in the custody of his paternal aunt.

According to the report, Brenda Bowens and the Department of Family and Protective Services initiated the court order that prompted the removal of all the kids from Vence and Bowen’s home. Brenda Bowens did not receive custody of any of the kids, but she will be allowed to visit them.

HPD: Blood evidence linked to Maleah Davis found in stepfather's apartment
Derion Vence, who had been engaged to 4-year-old Maleah's mother, is the last known person to see the girl. Vence was arrested Saturday.

Derion Vence, 26, is charged with tampering with evidence connected to missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis.

HOUSTON — Blood evidence obtained from the apartment of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis' estranged stepfather has been linked to the girl, according to Houston police detectives.

Derion Vence, 26, is in custody for evidence tampering. The Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitives Task Force arrested Vence around 2:40 p.m. in Sugar Land.

HPD detectives say in addition to blood evidence linked to Maleah being found at the apartment, Vence was also seen carrying a laundry basket from the apartment.

Vence's silver Nissan Altima was recovered in Missouri City on Thursday.

The laundry basket was found in the trunk of the Nissan along with a gas can, according to HPD.

A gas can was found in the trunk of Derion Vence's Nissan Altima, which police say he lied about being stolen.

Although Vence reported his Altima was taken in an abduction, surveillance video showed someone in that Nissan Altima dropped Vence off at the Methodist Sugar Land Hospital on May 5, according to police.

​

Vence, who had been engaged to Maleah's mother, is the last known person to see Maleah and recent video shared by a neighbor with police shows him with bottles of Clorox and a garbage bag before Maleah was reported missing.

Maleah's mother previously threatened to break up with Vence because of infidelity allegations, according to local activist Quanell X, who appeared with the mother in front of reporters Friday.

Their reporters couldn't interview the dad and get their own statement?

Got damn what the fuck is going on. White people have been known to kill their kids for insurance money. But this is worse.

Cause everyone smells BS.

That child been visited by CPS 4-5x last year. And the mother acting like she has no clue? She ain't passing the litmus test

The mom ain't shit... she should be charged, too.

I think it's a stretch to think she's in on it. She's guilty of negligence. Some people are floating the notion here that she helped killed her child and left to cover it up. We know that's not true, because we saw video of the baby walking with the boyfriend after she left.

If you knew this moron was beating your child and also found out he was involved in some gay shenanigans behind your back, why the FUCK would you leave your child there? How raggedy are you that you can't take your child with you out of town?

Yes she's negligent. I don't think anyone thinks she would purposely hurt her child. But lookong the other way when you know something is happening to her, is a problem.

When she had this brain surgery, it was for a bleed on her brain. No one checked her head for a bruise, obviously hard to see with hair without undoing it. They said no nurse checked. But after the fact the brain bleed could of been caused by trauma.

She was taken away for 6 months last year and out into the system.

Mom's was aware. But crying on TV like she don't know.

 

[Megatron X]

I’ve noticed this trend of black males killing kids now which can go far far back. Is it they’re following white males? It seems like it with a lot of things niggaz do.

I'm saying it's for her gross negligence that she should be. There was a history of the child being severely abused, but the mom reported it as injuries from a "fall." The mom didn't have to lay a hand on the child before or during her death to be held to account for placing that baby in clear, present danger of the so-called "stepdad."

I thought I read the stepdad had been molest7the child and the mom knew about it. It must have been a different story I was reading. Sad shit here, these guys and the women that allow them to do these things to their kids sickens me

It think when she said "abuse" everyone assumed it was sexual abuse - although, that's what I believe led to her death. I think the boyfriend (he's not the child's step father) killed her because he was sexually molesting her and she was going to tell.

@Megatron X you've got your troll shtick and all, but please not in this thread. This was an innocent, beautiful, black baby.... Killed by a bastard of a dl living manchild and an extremely negligent, naive, whatever else you want to call her mother.

If a shameless attention whore like Quannel X is passing up the opportunity for more camera time, you KNOW it's getting kinda hectic!
Missing Maleah Davis' mother is dumped by her spokesperson because there are 'inconsistencies in her story' as the hunt for the four-year-old continues with no leads and her stepfather refuses to speak to police

• Brittany Bowens' representative Quannell X said he does not think she is being truthful about her daughter's disappearance
• He jumped to her defense earlier this month when her ex-fiance was jailed
• Maleah, her four-year-old daughter, has been missing since April 30
• Her stepfather Derion Vence reported her missing on May 4, claiming she had been abducted
• He is in jail on tampering with a corpse charges and police say Maleah is dead
• They have no leads on where her body may be and they think Vence knows
• Bowens has not been arrested and she says her ex-fiance 'snapped' and harmed her daughter

Random, but i think Quanell got a man weave.

If not, he needs a new barber ASAP!

As for the case, I'm fairly certain she knows more and is covering her ass. My guess is negligence, but i don't think she's part of the murder itself.

No doubt his fellow inmates righteously beat this outta his lame ass ….. here's to years of beatings just short of death …. they can't let him off the hook by dying ….

Stepfather Of Missing Maleah Davis Allegedly Confessed To Dumping Her Body In Arkansas



(KTHV) — Community activist Quanell X gathered with police detectives in southwest Houston to provide a major update in the search for 4-year-old Maleah Davis, who has now been missing for a month.

He said he spoke with Maleah’s stepfather, Derion Vence, earlier in the morning. Vence allegedly confessed that Maleah had died in an accident. The stepfather said he then dumped the girl’s body in Arkansas, according to our content partner THV11 out of Little Rock.

Houston police investigators confirm to KHOU 11 they are looking into the claim.

Texas EquuSearch’s Tim Miller said he is heading to Arkansas on a private flight Friday afternoon to help search for the child’s body.

Vence remains in jail at this time, charged with tampering with a human corpse in connection to the 4-year-old girl’s disappearance.

Investigators said they do not believe Maleah is alive, but they’re still trying to find her body.

Earlier this week, Quanell said he was no longer working with the girl’s mother, Brittany Bowens. Bowens has not been charged or accused in her daughter’s disappearance, but Quanell says he believes she knows what happened to the little girl.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Props to the Step-Father for the confession.
*He killed the girl
*Put her body in a large black plastic bag
*Then threw that bag on the side of the road, like trash, on the way to Arkansas.

May not have found the body otherwise.

Now they can kill him.

This shit is crazy here in Houston. Female citizens have been running up on the Mom and threatening to beat her ass over the missing daughter.

I saw a interview she did with Quanell X sitting beside her when it first happened and she said they guy has never abused her daughter and she’d never think he would do something like that. Quanell X is a attention whore, the interviewer knew she was lying and not telling the whole truth and whenever he would try to ask her questions to make her contradict herself Quanell would either tell her not to answer or he would speak up right quick and answer but NOT answer the question. Then later on gonna say he stopped representing her because he NOW believes she knew more..WTF!!! everybody knew that

Random, but i think Quanell got a man weave.

If not, he needs a new barber ASAP!

As for the case, I'm fairly certain she knows more and is covering her ass. My guess is negligence, but i don't think she's part of the murder itself.

Yeah he had the man weave on one interview and then had that Carlos Boozer spray on hair in another one..lmaooo
