Missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis, whose stepfather reported her kidnapped over the weekend, was removed from mother’s care last summer and returned to her in February, according to reports.

Police announced a missing Amber alert for Maleah Davis on May 5 after her stepfather said she had been abducted by three men in a pick-up truck who knocked him unconscious when he pulled over on a Houston highway.
