Search Continues for Missing Detroit 2-Year Old

Volunteers along with a couple family members of missing 2-year-old Tangena Hussain held a vigil Saturday evening at the Mobil station at Eight Mile and Greenfield where the girl went missing 10 days ago.

Nilufa Begam, the girl's mother, said volunteers are helping pass out fliers to track down information on the girl who disappeared after her mother's boyfriend, Jamrul Hussain, said he left her in a 1997 Geo Prizm Oct. 2 while he ran inside to buy gum, police said. Hussain is not related to the girl.

"Everything is going great," Begam said Saturday around 5:30 p.m. "We're just staying here giving out fliers to people. I don't know what we're going to do next."

James Tate, spokesman for Detroit police, said Saturday the department has searched for Tangena everyday since she went missing, but there have been no developments leading to the girl.

"We're still investigating it as a missing persons case," he said.

Shawn Patrick Smith, Hussain's attorney, said volunteers will hand out fliers in hopes that someone remembers something that can lead to Tangena. Smith said he and others will also spread the word about her disappearance because he said some in the community still don't know she is missing.
