DETROIT -- Police began their search for a missing 2-year-old metro Detroit toddler seven months ago, and the search continued Friday with a lead from a psychic.
Tangena Search Back On
The Hamtramck toddler, Tangena Hussain, reportedly disappeared from a car while her mother's boyfriend stopped at a gas station on Greenfield Road in Detroit on Oct. 2, 2008.
The boyfriend, Jamrul Hussain, is currently jailed on unrelated charges. He is not the toddler's biological father.
Detroit police searched the area of Interstate 94 and French Road, on the city's east side after a psychic named Ed Dames contacted them about a month ago.
Detroit police Commander Paul Welles said Dames told them he had an ESP skill called remote viewing.
"He sent a Google map that shows us the area," Welles said. "He said he'd like to come out, he feels strongly that the body was hidden there."
Police said they offered to help Dames search the area, but that he went to the site later on his own.
"It caused some concern that he would come and not solicit our help," Welles said. "At least get him to the location, show him around, and then be there if indeed he found anything."
Police said Dames insisted that he had a hunch about the area and told police to check two drains, roughly 18 inches in diameter.
Police said they searched with a cadaver dog but found only trash.
"If a person calls in today and feels as though they know the whereabouts of a small child, the Detroit Police Department is going to follow up on it."
There is a reward being offered for information in the case.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI at , or the Detroit Police Department at .
