MIAMI — It’s been a little more than a year since 10-year-old Gabrielle Terrelonge disappeared.
The girl was last seen near the Florida Mall in Orlando but wasn’t reported missing until October after her father learned her mother was in jail.
Authorities said Paasha Davis was arrested on charges of child neglect, concealing the location of a minor and lying to law enforcement.
They said Margate police, the Osceola County Sheriffs Office and FBI are working the case.
The girl’s father, Gordon Terrelonge, believes Davis has the answers that would lead them to his daughter and says investigators conducted a new search with cadaver dogs weeks ago in Central Florida.
“We all believe she’s still alive,” said Terrelonge. “We think that maybe she gave her to somebody because she’s definitely lost her mind, but we feel like for her to do the last three months of not finding her and then finding out Gabby’s been missing since June, July, instead of September, that just shows you we feel like she’s had help or maybe gotten help.”
Anyone with information regarding the location of Gabrielle, who would now be 11 years old, is urged to contact the FBI.
As for Davis, Terrelonge said she is being held in custody at a hospital.
