Although the body has not been formally identified, the child, according to a Houston Chronicle report, matches the description of 2-year-old Maliyah Bass, a little girl who went missing from her Alief-area apartment Saturday morning. An Amber Alert was issued early Sunday morning after the toddler’s disappearance.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said the discovery was “heartbreaking” in a Sunday afternoon tweet.
