BREAKING: The mother of a missing 10-year-old girl from Florida has been arrested and charged with child neglect, intensifying the search for her daughter. Passha Davis, aged 34, was taken into custody on Tuesday and is currently held at Broward County Jail, with a bond set at $100,000.
The girl, Gabrielle Terrelonge, was last seen in June at a Walmart alongside her mother but was not reported missing until October 29, when her father, living in central Florida, contacted authorities. This alarming delay has raised significant concerns, as a Missing Child Alert was only issued on Monday by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Davis faces serious allegations as the investigation unfolds. In court on Wednesday, her attorney stated she is not guilty of the charges, yet did not address the whereabouts of Gabrielle. Meanwhile, the case has drawn attention to Davis’s reported struggles with mental health and homelessness, as shared by Gabrielle’s aunt in an interview with WTVJ.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Gabrielle’s location to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or local law enforcement. The community is on high alert as the search for the young girl continues, with many hoping for her safe return.
This tragic situation highlights the urgent need for awareness and support for vulnerable families facing challenges. As the investigation develops, the focus remains on finding Gabrielle and ensuring her safety. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
