The backstory:
Gabrielle was first reported missing by her father on Oct. 29 after he discovered that Davis was in jail after being arrested on unrelated charges earlier in the month, according to Broward County court records.
Investigators spoke with Davis at the Paul Rein Detention Facility on Oct. 31 to ask about Gabrielle. Davis told them she had no knowledge of Gabrielle’s whereabouts and that the girl should be with her father.
Investigators determined that Davis is homeless and suffers from mental illness and substance abuse, according to an arrest report.
Davis was arrested on Nov. 4 on a charge of child neglect without great bodily harm, according to Broward County jail records.
