A security guard in Missouri City is thankful he called the police when he saw something suspicious early Friday morning.
BACKGROUND:On July 22 around 2 a.m., Hector Adame was sitting in his truck during his shift when he spotted a silver Dodge Pickup truck circling the block. He says the truck parked in one spot for a few minutes, then moved to behind his truck.
Adame says the unknown man went to a dark spot near the side of a house, and emerged with a little girl, later identified as 11-year-old Imani Stephens. He says the man and Imani got in the Dodge truck and drove off. After taking a picture of the truck, Hector called the police. Missouri City officers showed up a minute later, and after speaking to Adame, knocked on a few doors to find out where Stephens came from. Adame describes seeing Kimberly Wright, Imani’s grandmother, shocked after finding out from officers the child was gone.
Police say those men cooperated with police and were no longer considered a part of the investigation. FOX 26’s Damali Keith spoke with Wright on Friday, who says she believes Imani was influenced by an older man she met online just two weeks before. FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith spoke with the missing girl's grandmother, who just wants to have her back as authorities believe she is in danger.
