Maleah was last seen at the apartments with her stepfather, 26-year-old Derion Vence, who is now charged in her disappearance. 

Police said they found blood evidence in Vence's apartment linked to Maleah, as well as several inconsistencies in history that don't match up with how he said Maleah was abducted. 

Vence was charged with tampering with evidence, namely a human corpse.

Maleah has been missing for over a week and despite search efforts, there are still no signs of the young girl. 

The details of this story and the frustrating search brought a lot of mothers to tears.
