In the fall of 2016, eight-year-old Ameera Deadrick disappeared from Houston, TX after years of custody struggles between her parents. What began as a summer visit with her father turned into a permanent separation, despite her mother Tiara’s efforts to bring her home. The last confirmed sighting of Ameera was a Facebook video in early 2016—months before all contact stopped. When her father went to jail, no one knew where Ameera was. He claimed to have left her with a woman named Linda, or “Tootie,” in Waco, TX—someone police have never been able to locate. With no records, no sightings, and few answers, Ameera’s case remains unsolved.
*** If you know anything about the disappearance of Ameera Deadrick - or her whereabouts today- or if you know anything Linda or Tootie who lived in Waco, TX - please call the Houston police at 713-884-3131 or the Waco police at 254-750-7500 ***
