Detroit, MI – Two-year-old Tangena Hussain of Hamtramck, Michigan, was last seen at 8:45 on Thursday evening at the Marathon Gas Station in Detroit. Or was she? Her mother’s boyfriend (but not Tangena’s father) Jamrul Hussain, 27, says that Tangena was in the back seat of his car when he stopped at the gas station to buy candy and juice for the child. They were on their way to pick up Tangena’s mother, Nilufa Begum, from work at Northland Mall.

When Jamrul Hussain got back to his car, he said, Tangena was gone. But rather than call police or alert the store personnel, Hussain went to pick up Begum as scheduled, telling her that he would “take her to her daughter”. Instead, he took Begum back to the place where he said he lost her baby girl. Sound familiar, anyone?

Nilufa Begum did was innocent mothers do when their babies disappear. She freaked out and insisted on calling the police.

“I was asking, ‘Where’s my daughter; tell me where’s my daughter?’ and he couldn’t even say anything,” Nilufa Begum told a television reporter. “He said, ‘I will tell you; just come with me,’ and he took me to the gas station.”

When they got to the station, Nilufa Begum said that her boyfriend told her he had left Tangena strapped into his red Geo Prizm while he went inside earlier that evening. When he came out, he said, she was just gone. Begum asked Hussain why he hadn’t called police, and he answered that he was afraid and wanted to get her from work first. Which sounds patently like bullshit to me, and I don’t think anyone else is buying it, either.

The mother was distraught, but the guy just didn’t really seem, well, his face was blank. It was more like an everyday occurrence to him,” said one witness, Frederick Panell. I wouldn’t have thought that something was wrong if the mother wasn’t as hysterical and crying as she was.”

Unfortunately, there was a “technical glitch” with the surveillance tapes, and the elder Hussain managed to park in the one area where the cameras weren’t working. There’s no evidence of any abduction – but there’s no evidence disputing Hussain’s claim, either. Nobody saw Tangena at the Marathon on Thursday night. If Hussain went inside to buy candy as he claims, was he indulging a toddler, or establishing an alibi?

Police held Jamrul Hussain for questioning after Tangena’s disappearance, but have so far developed no leads – at least, not any that they’re sharing. But once Jamrul Hussain hit the news, Detroit got a call that identified Hussain as the attacker in a February sexual assault case with a young victim. That case had been reported, but the perpetrator had not been caught. His victim saw him on television and identified him after Tangena’s disappearance.

Jamrul Hussain has now been arrested for sexual assault case against a minor. He is currently being questioned at the Hamtramck Police Department and will likely be charged in that case. And if you ask me, I think he’s good for Tangena’s disappearance, too. I hope that she will be found, but it doesn’t look good, does it?

An Amber Alert has been issued for Tangena Hussain in Michigan. Tangena, 2, has short brown hair and big brown eyes and is of East Indian descent. She was last seen wearing white cargo pants and a long sleeved brown knit t-shirt with a cartoon character on it and gold sandals. Tangena is around 3 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 34 pounds. She has a scar from a burn on her upper lip and chin. Anyone with information should call Detroit police
