Detroit Police said late Saturday that they had no new information about 2-year-old Tangena Hussain's whereabouts. She was reportedly last seen at a Detroit gas station at Greenfield and 8 Mile on Thursday.
A 27-year-old man last known to be with the missing Hamtramck toddler was in custody Saturday, according to Free Press reporting partner WDIV-TV Local 4.
Jamrul Hussain, the boyfriend of the child's mother, was arrested on a separate assault charge involving a minor, WDIV reported. He cooperated with investigators after he was arrested at the house he shares with Nilufa Begum, 24, and her daughter, Tangena. He is not related to the child.
Hamtramck police, Detroit police and the FBI continued to investigate. Police searched Dumpsters with cadaver dogs outside her home on Saturday.
Hussain said Tangena was in the car with him Thursday night when he stopped at the gas station for a pack of gum.
He told investigators he left her in the locked car and that she was gone when he came back.
Instead of immediately searching for the toddler, he said he picked up Begum from work. He then told her what he said happened and the two returned to the station to search for her. At that time, they called police.
Anyone with information about Tangena is asked to call 313-596-1240.
