CROMWELL ― Authorities are
still searching for a missing Seminol 2-year-old after her mother was arrested in North Carolina.
Officials say Oaklee Mae Snow, of Cromwell, was last seen on Feb. 9. She stands about 2 feet tall, has blonde hair and blue eyes and weighs about 40 pounds.
Authorities believe her mother, 22-year-old Madison Marshall, took Oaklee to Indianapolis on Jan. 19, along with Oaklee's 7-month-old brother, Coleton, and Marshall's boyfriend, 25-year-old Roan Waters.
Child protective service agents said Coleton had been found abandoned in Indiana and returned him to his father, Zach Snow.
Marshall was arrested in North Carolina on charges of neglect of a dependent. Oaklee has not been found despite multiple interviews between Marshall and authorities.
On March 3, police in Colorado arrested Waters for an outstanding warrant on charges of child abuse and domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor in Oklahoma, records state.
Waters told detectives he had traveled from Oklahoma with Marshall and her two children in his blue Dodge Durango. After reaching Indianapolis, they stayed at a "trap house" so he and Marshall could use drugs, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Waters said they made the decision to abandon Coleton at an Indianapolis residence and take Oaklee with them, records state.
Waters said a family member recovered Coleton from the Indianapolis house and turned him over to the
Indiana Department of Child Services, according to an affidavit.
J.T. Palmer, an investigator with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office,
told K-FOR Tuesday that witnesses saw Oaklee being carried out of what he was told was a “crack house" on Feb. 9.
“They described it as she was either asleep or unconscious. She wasn’t moving,” said Palmer. “She was wrapped in a blanket.”
Snow said Marshall may have taken Oaklee to an Indiana hospital for a medical emergency, but family and friends told officials no hospital they've contacted in the state showed any record of her.
“We have no knowledge of where she's at," Palmer said. "We just know that she did not make it to the hospital that night."
Waters was unwilling to provide authorities where they could find Oaklee, records state.

*This is such a cute kid. How could someone harm a little child to the point of disappearance? It makes me sad. And really disgusted to tell the truth.
This poor little girl deserved so much better than this. It breaks my heart. A throw away society being created it seems.
