Authorities in Alabama are diligently working to piece together the events surrounding the mysterious disappearance of a young child from Enterprise.
According to CrimeOnline, the last known sighting of Genises Nova Reid occurred at an apartment on 201 Apache Drive in Enterprise.
Enterprise police said Genises “may be just about to turn three.”
Adrienne Reid, the toddler’s mother, reported that she discovered Genises missing early Monday morning, with an open door suggesting a possible exit route.
Residents in the area have not seen the child since early January, according to WFSA. Before this period, neighbors frequently observed Genises accompanying her mother on walks.
Investigators are urging anyone who may have encountered the child in recent weeks to speak up, as they are also looking for a woman named “Mariah,” who could be linked to the situation.
According to WFTV News 4, Mariah has been known to “frequent the Level Plains area.” She’s described as a Black female who has ties to Ozark, Enterprise Police Chief Michael Moore said.
“We’re not necessarily saying she’s been missing for 30 days but we’re trying to clarify, trying to a get a timeline,” Enterprise Police Capt. Billy Haglund said of Genises.
“We are trying to leave no stone unturned. Unfortunately, we want results now, but it does take time to get these things.”
“We want nothing more than to find Genises unharmed.”
Multiple sources reportedly said that law enforcement is questioning the mother; she claimed that Genesis “disappeared mysteriously” from the bedroom.
Adrienne Reid has not been charged but police detained for safety reasons.
During a search Sunday, FBI agents arrived on the scene for assistance.
“I don’t care what state, what county, please call the police. She was not given willingly. Please contact us via messenger, Facebook, whatever. Please contact me,” her grandmother,Vivienne Reid, told News 4.
Genesis is described as a Black female who stands 2 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs around 25 pounds. She has black hair, and brown eyes.
Police said she had on pink Mickey Mouse pajamas at the time of her disappearance.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Enterprise police at 334-347-2222.
