Vigil Held For Missing Child

POSTED: Saturday, October 11, 2008
UPDATED: 9:45 pm EDT October 11, 2008

A vigil was held Saturday at 5 p.m. for a missing 2-year-old girl.

Friends and family of Tangena Hussain were at the Marathon gas station in Detroit on 8 Mile and Greenfield roads, where the child was reportedly last seen.

Organizers handed out flyers in hopes of finding clues into the girl's disappearance 10 days ago.

The child's father is also expected to fly in from New York Saturday night to help search for Tangena Hussain. He is working with Crime Stoppers, offering a $6,000 reward.

On Friday night, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Hamtramck home of the girl's mother's boyfriend, Jamrul Hussain, who is the last person to have seen Tangena Hussain.

Agents were looking for Jamrul Hussain’s laptop computer. His attorney, Shawn Patrick, Smith later turned it over to police when he arrived at the home.

Smith is representing both Tangena’s mother, Nilufa Belgum, as well as Jamrul Hussain.

Local 4 has learned Tangena Hussain's mother has passed a polygraph test administered on Thursday, but Jamrul Hussain, who has been jailed, did not pass a polygraph test given last week.

Police sources told Local 4 they do not believe Nilufa Begum has anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.

Jamrul Hussain has said he left Tangena Hussain in his car as he went into a gas station to buy chewing gum and juice. Hussain said she was not in the car when he returned.

The 27-year-old is Begum's live-in boyfriend and is not related to Tangena.

Jamrul Hussain is jailed on separate kidnapping and sexual assault charges involving a 15-year-old girl.

A couple, who let Jamrul Hussain and the 15-year-old girl stay with them during the alleged assault, was also arraigned on similar charges.
