There is a horrible story coming out of Dallas, Texas. Police are trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Daijsa Weaver, a nine-month-old baby that has been missing since June 9. Police say the parents in this case haven’t exactly been forthcoming –and what they have to hide might just be the murder of their own child.
At first, the child’s mother, nineteen-year-old Tamaira Creagh, told police that near midnight on June 9, a man in a red hooded sweatshirt broke into her home at the Oak Run Apartments. She said the man tried to rape her. Then, she said, he took off with her child. She told police that Daijsa’s father, Alandus "Landus" Weaver, wasn’t at home when the alleged kidnapping took place.
"I just want whoever has my little girl to bring her back," Tamaira Creagh told one reporter.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for the safe return of Baby Daijsa. Schepps Dairy is putting up the money. The reward, in effect for the next six months as of June 12, is being put up by Schepps Dairy. The reward will also be given for information leading to the arrest and indictment of whoever is responsible for her disappearance. The responsible party just might be too close to home.
Investigators say Creagh’s story just doesn’t correlate with Weaver’s. According to Dallas police, shortly after the baby went missing, Weaver told Craig that she shouldn’t have allowed police inside their home because there was blood inside.
A police search warrant affidavit indicated that investigators overheard Weaver speaking to Creagh in what was described as "a very threatening manner."
Various items were seized during a search of the residence –mostly items used in the care of an infant. Included among several other items were a red bath towel, stained baby outfit that had been thrown in the trash, a fitted sheet with red stains.
Alandus Weaver was arrested June 12 on suspicion of tampering with evidence. Police have changed the focus of their investigation from a missing child case to a homicide. An Amber Alert issued earlier this week remains in effect indicating there might be a glint of hope. No body has been found, and there is no solid evidence that the baby is deceased at this time. But, that hope is most fragile, as things do not look good at this point.
"She’s been lying from day one, so why start believing her now?" These, the words of Weaver’s uncle, Rudy Oliver who went on to say, "I think she had something to do with it, and she let her family know, but they are not telling us, they’re trying to get her out of trouble. I don’t think the baby is dead. I believe that she’s still alive and I believe that they know where she is." Meanwhile, the family of Tamaira Creagh is remaining silent.
Alandus Weaver is being held on a bond of $100,000.
Attention: While writing this post, some very disturbing information has just been released:
Police have just arrested Tamaira Creagh on suspicions of tampering with evidence. Little Daijsa Weaver is dead. Her body has been tossed, by her own father, Landus Weaver, into Lewisville Lake from the bridge crossing the water.
Creagh told police that Weaver picked her up from work on June 8. Weaver told her that he had given Daijsa a bath and then left the baby home alone.
When they got back home, the baby was on the floor unclothed and wrapped in a towel.
Creagh said she came home to find Baby Daijsa cold and without a heartbeat.. She tried to administer CPR to no avail. The next day, Creagh went to work as normal, while her dead baby waited at home. After work, Creagh and Weaver tied a sandbag to the baby –and tossed her into the lake. Authorities are searching the lake for the baby’s body today.
So, all this time, Tamaira Creagh has been lying to police, at the behest of Landus Weaver. Creagh was going to call the police at one point. Weaver did not want that to happen. He told her they must "stick together." It was then they invented the kidnapping ruse. On Friday, Creagh told reporters, "We’re not getting help from the detectives that were assigned to us. We have to do the investigation ourselves."
Creagh described herself on her MySpace profile as a "proud parent." She says "My name is Tamaira but you can just call me Diva. I get what I want, When I want it and Exactly How I want it." That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
The question now is, exactly how did Baby Daijsa end up dead? Creagh says that when she asked Weaver what happened to their baby, he became threatening and violent. Creagh says that she is afraid of Weaver. She claims to be 6-months pregnant with his child.
