Oaklee Mae Snow, a 2-year-old girl, has been missing since February.
Authorities believe a 2-year-old Oklahoma child who has been missing since February is dead, they stated over the weekend.
Oaklee Mae Snow, a toddler, was last seen in February being carried motionlessly out of what witnesses described as a “crack house” in Indianapolis by her mother, Madison Marshall.
According to local Fox 59, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department believes Snow is deceased. The report occurred on the same day that authorities discovered the bones of a kid in Morgan County, roughly 27 miles south of Indianapolis, according to The Indianapolis Star.
Police in Indianapolis have not yet confirmed whether the body discovered is Oaklee’s.
Authorities have been looking for the kid since she was allegedly abducted from her father Zack Snow’s home in Cromwell, Oklahoma, by her mother in mid-January.
“I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” the father said last month to local KFOR. “I’ve been on my phone all day.” I mean, contacting and attempting to find someone who might know where she is.”
According to KFOR, investigators believe Marshall, 22, abducted Oaklee and her 7-month-old sibling Coleton from Snow’s home on January 19. Marshall and her ex-boyfriend Roan Waters, 25, are accused of transporting the two young children to Indianapolis, where Waters’ family resides.
According to J.T. Palmer of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office in Oklahoma, the toddler was last seen wrapped in a blanket and being taken out of the accused drug home by Marshall last month.
“They said she was either sleeping or unconscious. “She wasn’t moving,” Palmer commented. “She was wrapped in a blanket, and her mother said, ‘I’ve got to get her to the hospital.’” She’s been injured.’”
Oaklee, however, “did not make it to the hospital that night,” according to Palmer.
According to Fox 59, Marshall and Waters also allegedly left Oaklee’s 7-month-old sibling at the accused drug residence. Waters’ sister and mother allegedly went to pick up the infant after learning he had been abandoned.
Marshall was detained in North Carolina late last month, while Waters was nabbed in Colorado on separate charges, according to The Oklahoman.
Marshall is currently being jailed in an Indiana jail on two felony negligence charges and another felony charge for supporting a criminal, according to jail documents obtained by Read this story. Marshall’s next court appearance is on Monday afternoon.
