Police confirmed Monday that remains found alongside a freeway in Arkansas last week had been positively identified as those of Maleah Davis, a 4-year-old girl from Houston, Texas, who was reported missing in early May. But the discovery of Maleah’s body doesn’t bring the investigation into her death to a close. Rather, police have said they won’t stop until those responsible for the child’s death are held accountable. Here’s what’s next in the Maleah Davis case now that investigators have found her body.
“We are all saddened by the confirmation of the identification of the remains brought home to Houston by members of the Houston Police Department as Maleah Davis,” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said in a statement released by the department Monday. “The Houston Police Department will continue to work diligently with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and other partners to ensure the person(s) responsible for her death, and the attempted cover-up of her death, are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
