There is a "substantial likelihood" that the man who was watching 4-year-old Maleah Davis when she went missing will be charged with murder, according to court documents.

In court documents dated Saturday, a Harris County assistant district attorney argued for Vence to be held on a bond of $1 million because "there is a substantial likelihood that additional charges may be forthcoming, including but not limited to the first-degree felony offense of murder."

Additional court documents also reveal that police dogs alerted investigators to the "scent of decomposition" in the trunk of the car that Vence was driving when he said he, Maleah and his son were abducted.

1. It is infuriating to see these beautiful children and this little girl was especially so...

fall victim to the "boyfriends"... I know this represents a very tiny proportion of these family settings and situations. But still... without meaning to point the finger at the Mothers who are likely every bit the victims as well, I'd find it harder and harder to trust someone not family with my own child if I were in their shoes. So many are found to have had other issues that it does make me wonder even more...Yet even when DFS becomes involved many of these situations do not improve or even become worse.

Sad and beyond horrifying. A society that doesn't protect its children and devalues its elderly will not thrive.

2. Right.

This case is so upsetting. Not that others aren't, but this beautiful little child didn't stand a chance in life.
