According to the Gadsden Police Department, 19-year-old Tasmine Thomas reported her 20-month-old baby girl missing on Monday.
Thomas told police her daughter had been missing since March 5th.
According to police, Thomas told them, “the child’s father, Stephon Lindsay, said he was going to take the child to his sister’s house for a few days. Tasmine said she was asleep when Stephon actually took the child, on March 5th, and that he was back home the next morning when she awoke. After approximately one week Tasmine told Stephon she wanted to go and get Maliyah and he stated that he would go with her. He then left, according to Tasmine, to get gas for his car and then pick up the child from his sister. After a short time had passed, Tasmine called the sister and the sister said she had not seen Stephon nor the baby in several weeks. Tasmine tried calling Stephon but got no response. That’s when she called police.”
