Police officials said at a news conference Wednesday that the person who took Shamali likely knows her family. They also said it’s possible the girl was taken by someone who has lost a child. Police Chief Art Acevedo said this is only a theory but that the circumstances of the infant’s disappearance fit similar cases that have occurred in other parts of the country.
Acevedo said that besides the infant, nothing was taken from the apartment where 33-year-old Carolina Flores was killed. Her body was discovered around midday Tuesday.
Investigators have not identified a suspect in the death. They initially said they believed the baby was with her father but he was found late Tuesday in San Antonio and Shamali wasn’t with him. He’s not considered a suspect or person of interest in the death, officials have said.
Police say they plan to release more information later Thursday.
