Authorities searching for 5-year-old Texas girl whose stepfather told police she was kidnapped by three men, including one who knocked him out during a carjacking.
A frantic search was underway in Texas Sunday for a 5-year-old girl whose stepfather told police she was kidnapped by three men, including one who knocked him out during a carjacking, authorities said.
Sgt. Mark Holbrook of the Houston Police Department Homicide Division said Vence said that he went in and out of consciousness during the ordeal and, at one point, woke up to find the suspects driving him and the two children around in what he described as a blue pickup truck. "We'd love the public to help us so we can fill in the blanks in this story. I realize there are a lot of blanks in that story, but we're hoping the public can fill in the blanks," Holbrook said during a news conference Sunday afternoon.
Vence told police he was driving with the children to pick up their mother Friday night at George Bush Intercontinental Airport when he noticed something wrong with their car, a 2011 silver Nissan Altima, and pulled over in north Houston, Holbrook said. Vence told police that he kept going in and out of consciousness, but at one point he was in the back of the suspects' truck with his son and Maleah and that there were now three suspects in the vehicle driving them around, Holbrook said. He said the next time Vence woke up, about 6 p.m. on Saturday, he was on the side of the Southwest Freeway near State Highway 6 in Sugar Land, some 22 miles southwest of Houston.
