On May 4, 2019, 4-year-old Maleah Davis, her 1-year-old half brother, and his father, 26-y-o Derion Vence were reported missing from their home in Houston, Tx. Later that evening, a wounded Derion and his son would turn up at a local hospital, minus Maleah. Derion would tell authorities of a harrowing ordeal, in which he and the children were held for 24 hours by three men who had attacked him. And although Derion and his son were dropped off along a highway in the nearby city of Sugar Land, the men disappeared with little Maleah. Twenty-seven days later, the remains of the preschooler who loved My Little Pony and taking trips to the beach, were found dumped off of Interstate 30 near Hope, Arkansas. The story of Maleah Davis is the story of a child who was failed by those who were supposed to protect her. This is the story of a child who never had a chance.
