Since February, 2-year-old Oaklee Mae Snow has been missing.
Authorities declared over the weekend that they suspected a 2-year-old child from Oklahoma who has been missing since February is dead.
A “crack house” near Indianapolis, where toddler Oaklee Mae Snow was last seen, was described by witnesses as such when her mother Madison Marshall last saw her.
Local Fox 59 reports that the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department believes Snow is deceased. The Indianapolis Star claims that the report was filed on the same day that a child’s bones were discovered by officials in Morgan County, about 27 miles south of Indianapolis.
Police in Indianapolis have not yet confirmed if Oaklee’s body has been discovered.
Authorities have been looking for the toddler ever since her mother is accused of stealing her from her father Zack Snow’s home in Cromwell, Oklahoma, in mid-January.
“I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” the father reportedly said to local station KFOR last month. I’ve been on my phone nonstop today. I’m referring to calling and asking around for anyone who may know where she is.
Detectives believe that on January 19, Marshall, 22, abducted Oaklee and Coleton, her 7-month-old brother, from Snow’s home, according to KFOR. Marshall and her ex-boyfriend Roan Waters, 25, are accused of driving the two young children to Waters’ family’s home in Indianapolis.
According to J.T. Palmer of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma, Marshall was last seen bringing the child out of the alleged drug house the previous month. At the moment, a blanket was covering the toddler.
They said that she was either sleeping asleep or unconscious. Palmer reported, “She wasn’t moving.” I’ve got to bring her to the hospital, her mother said. She was wrapped in a blanket and said, “She’s been hurt.
While Oaklee “did not make it to the hospital that night,” according to Palmer.
According to Fox 59, Marshall and Waters allegedly left Oaklee’s 7-month-old brother behind in the alleged drug house. The youngster was allegedly scooped up by Waters’ mother and sister after they discovered that he had been left alone.
The Oklahoman reports that when Marshall was detained in North Carolina late last month, Waters was arrested in Colorado on different charges.
Marshall is currently being held in a jail in Indiana on two felony recklessness counts as well as another felony charge for helping a felon, according to jail records that Read this post was able to collect. Marshall’s next court appearance is on Monday in the late afternoon.
