I agree with the mother, it’s just unreal that kids can just disappear and no one sees anything! Even if the boyfriend did kill her, no one saw him dispose of her body? Come on!

A dear friend of mine suggested last week that, since the parties in this case are all foreign-born, Tangena’s disappearance may have something to do with non-payment for immigration services rendered. Since there’s been nothing new, I guess that’s as good a theory as any.

Anything’s possible. But I like to go with the most likely scenario in the absence of any proof of something different. And sadly, in this case, that theory is probably that Tangena is dead and the boyfriend killed her.

Man last seen with missing 2-year-old too upset to take lie detector test
Santiago Esparza / The Detroit News

HAMTRAMCK — The man last seen with a missing 2-year-old Hamtramck girl was too distraught to take a lie detector test on Friday, his attorney Patrick Shawn Smith said.

“He is very afraid…he broke down,” Smith said Saturday. “He is under intense pressure.”

There’s less and less visibly in the local media about this each day. And it breaks my heart to think that this little girl was mistreated and may be dead.

Man Linked To Missing Girl Takes 2nd Polygraph Test

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. — The last man to see a missing 2-year-old Hamtramck girl has taken a second lie-detector test.

Tangena Hussain has been missing since Oct. 2 when she disappeared while in Jamrul Hussain’s care.

Hussain is not related to the child, but he is her mother’s boyfriend.

He already failed one polygraph test, and his lawyer agreed to have Hussain take a second lie-detector test.

On Friday, Local 4 learned Hussain was so emotional and upset during the polygraph, there are no usable results.

Last week, the FBI and police searched a third home in hopes of finding clues about Tangena’s disappearance.

Detectives also executed a search warrant at Hussain’s Hamtramck home.

On Friday, Local 4 learned blood evidence collected at the home does not match Tangena’s DNA.

More info about the boyfriend’s court date relating to the kidnapping and sexual assault charges.

The defense’s story is that they 15YO and the slimeball were dating. Sorry, but she’s 15!! That’s still statutory rape! Even if it was consentual.

I’m fairly local to this story (same city as the mall where the mother works), and unfortunately, there hasn’t been much on the local news about it in the last week or so. That poor little girl doesn’t deserve whatever bad things may have happened to her.

Just playing devil’s advocate on this one, because I think we do sell cultural differences short in a lot of cases when a person’s background is the foundation for everything that they believe in. I am in no way condoning what the dickwad did to the 15yo or what he may have done to the toddler, and I believe justice should hit this fucker with all she’s got.

Bangladesh is in India ?

It’s an independent nation – you know, that one that always gets devestated by typhoons. I hear it’s real nice when it’s not under water though.

I just wanted to note that Tangena’s mom had her first child when she was like 16… and her father would have been 30 at the time.

Gross. Everyone in this story seems to like having sex with teenagers.

where do these kids get their last names ?

When Mohammed Ahmed — the father of missing 2-year-old Tangena Hussain of Hamtramck — first heard his daughter had disappeared Oct. 2, he thought it was a joke.

Ahmed, 38, of New York said his ex-wife, Nilufa Begum, 24, was crying when she called him the night Tangena was reported abducted from the locked car of Begum’s boyfriend, Jamrul Hussain.

The two were married for five years and divorced in 2006. They have two other children, ages 7 and 8, who live with Ahmed’s parents in Bangladesh.

wtf $ 6000 ?

Ahmed has contributed $5,000 to a total $6,000 reward now being offered by Michigan Crime Stoppers for information leading to Tangena’s recovery.

Police said Tangena lived with Begum and her boyfriend, who have dated about five months, in Hamtramck. Begum has two other children, ages 8 and 7, who live with their father’s family in metro Detroit. Tangena’s father, who is also the father of Begum’s other two children, lives in New York.

A Hamtramck couple, whom authorities identified as friends of Hussain, were charged in 31st District Court on Wednesday with kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment for allegedly holding the teen in their basement.

Mamunur Rahman Khan and his wife, Hena Begum, no relation to Nilufa Begum, stood mute in court, allowing the magistrate to enter not guilty pleas.

They are to have no contact with the victim and must turn over their passports. Khan’s bail was set at $500,000 and Begum’s at $50,000. The couple are to appear for a preliminary exam Oct. 16.

“She was threatened by her assailant. If she said anything, he would kill her and her family,” Crachiola said. “They told her they’d let her go if she went to the police station and said she ran away.”

After six days, the woman who lives at that home accompanied the 15-year-old to the Hamtramck Police Department to make sure she claimed to be a runaway, Crachiola added. The case had been closed until the teen came forward again Friday, Crachiola said.

The 15-year-old told investigators she knew Hussain because he had repeatedly tried to befriend her as she walked to and from school, police said.

… from article post below :
Hussain is being held in jail on $500,000 bond after being charged in an unrelated case with abducting and molesting a then-14-year-old Hamtramck girl in February.

I guess it’s a “cultural” thing. Or, at least, that’s what Mr. Rapey said.
