On this date around 12 p.m., Houma Police received a call in reference to the possible abduction of a 2 year old that occurred near the 100 block of Mahler Street. During the investigation, Houma Police contacted the mother, who initially stated she was along Bayou Terrebonne with her kids when a subject in a grey truck passed, grabbing her 2 year old and departed the area. Houma Police, through investigation immediately developed information that the report released by the mother was inaccurate.

Once arriving near the area of Bayou Terrebonne, adjacent from Mahler Street, Maya Jones went to nearby residences stating her kid was abducted.
