A Florida mother has been taken into custody on charges of child neglect in connection with the disappearance of her daughter.
Although 10-year-old Gabrielle Terrelonge was officially reported missing on October 29, the last confirmed sighting of her was in Broward County on June 21. According to the FBI, it wasn’t until the arrest of her mother, 34-year-old Passha Davis, that authorities realized Gabrielle was missing, as reported by WSVN.
Gabrielle is believed to have been moving between South and Central Florida with family members. Prior to her mother’s arrest, she may have been in her mother’s care, according to WSVN.
A relative, who chose to remain anonymous, shared with the news outlet their attempt to provide shelter for Gabrielle, as she and her mother were experiencing homelessness.
“We don’t have any clue where she is,” the relative expressed.
Gabrielle is described as having a height of 4 feet 8 inches, weighing around 100 pounds, with dark hair. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing a white t-shirt, black long pants, and white Crocs.
Davis, who appeared in court on Wednesday, was ordered to remain jailed on $100,000 bond. She was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
The FBI is involved in the ongoing search for Terrelonge — who is considered at-risk. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts should call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Margate Police Department at 954-972-7111.
