NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A missing 23-month-old girl may be in the Richmond area, according to Newport News Police. Za’kiylah Miessence Ashlock was last seen March 13 when her mother picked her up at a relative’s Newport News home.
Mother Imani Cogdell, 20, has visitation rights, but not custody of her child, police said.
The relative, who lives along the 600 block of Aqua Vista Drive, does have full custody of Za’kiylah.
“The relative told the officer that on March 13, 2016, the child’s mother came to the residence to pick up the victim for her weekend visitation and since that time she has been unable to make contact with the mother and does not know the location of the child or the mother,” a Newport News Police spokesperson said. “The Department’s Special Victims Unit was notified and continued the investigation.”
A felony abduction warrant has been issued for Cogdell.
