Quanell X no longer represents the mother of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis. The Houston activist said he doesn’t think Brittany Bowens knows where her daughter is, but he believes she knows what happened to her daughter.
Quanell X told KHOU 11 News that Bowens told him she spoke with her ex-fiancé Derion Vence, who is suspected in the girl’s disappearance.
Maleah was reported missing on Saturday, May 4, after Vence said he was carjacked by three Hispanic males who knocked him out and took Maleah.
Vence was arrested on May 11 and charged with tampering with a human corpse. Houston police believe Maleah is dead, and they suspect that Vence knows where the body is.
Bowens contacted Quanell X after a neighbor turned over security footage that shows she was at home the last day Maleah was seen alive.
Quanell X told KHOU 11 that he saw red flags after just two days on the job. The activist claimed sources in Bowens’ family told him troubling details about Maleah’s care.
“Ain’t no way in hell a parent with common sense would have handled this entire situation the way Brittany handled this entire situation,” Quanell X said.
He also commented on Bowens’ lack of tears for her missing child.
To the public, he said she was emotional, but in private he said, “there was not a lot of tears. She was always calm, fluid, clear. Now whenever there was a public thing, she would always break down.”
Quanell said he continued to represent her in the hopes he would learn something useful to tell police.
“I don’t think she knows where Maleah is, but I do believe she knows what happened,” he told KHOU 11.
“(She) said to me when we (were) riding in my car what she believed really happened to Maleah. At that point, I knew what needed to be done. So I arranged to meet as quickly as I could with investigators at the highest level of this case and shared everything that we had learned and discovered.”
