A Texas inmate says that the caregiver of 4-year-old Maleah Davis, whose remains were found in Arkansas, told him that the girl died when she hit her head.

David Chalfant is housed on the same floor as Derion Vence in the Harris County Jail. Vence was Maleah’s primary caregiver and described by police as her stepfather, though the girl’s mother later said he was her ex-fiance.
