Missing 4-month-old girl found with parents at Orlando mall

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Sunday afternoon update:

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said Elliott Singleton is not the correct identity for Skylah’s father.

Investigators said his true name is Ellis Singleton, 28, and he is now facing additional charges from Edgewater police for providing a false identity at the time of his original arrest on Tuesday.

Elliott Singleton is Ellis Singleton’s younger brother, deputies said.

Ellis Singleton was released from the Orange County Jail after paying bail.

Saturday afternoon update:

While holding a news conference Saturday afternoon, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood suddenly learned that a missing 4-month-old girl had been found with her parents in a car at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando.

Chitwood said that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office assisted with conducting surveillance on the couple.

The girl appeared to be in good condition and will be medically evaluated and cared for in the Florida Department of Children and Families' custody.

A 26-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman might have fled Edgewater with their 4-month-old daughter to avoid a judge’s order for the state to take custody of the child, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday morning.

Investigators said Elliot Singleton III and Chloe Wall have been avoiding law enforcement since their release from jail earlier this week. They said they believe either one or both of them took Skylah Singleton out of the area.

Deputies said that at about 2 a.m. Tuesday, Edgewater police arrested Wall on charges of drug possession and Singleton on charges of resisting without violence.

"At the time of the arrests, Skylah was in the vehicle with her parents, where police found prescription pills and paraphernalia used to smoke crack cocaine," said Andrew Gant, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman. "Wall is believed to have a history of drug abuse. Skylah tested positive for the presence of drugs in her system immediately after she was born."

The Florida Department of Children and Families determined that  after Tuesday's arrest, the agency should take custody of Skylah for her safety, deputies said.

Investigators said Singleton and Wall were released from jail later Tuesday and they left the area with Skylah.

DCF contacted the Sheriff’s Office to file a missing person report Thursday evening, deputies said.

Investigators said that at about 4 a.m. Saturday, Wall’s mother, Jennifer Wall, 41, of Deltona, was arrested on charges of providing false information to law enforcement during a missing child investigation and concealing a minor’s location contrary to a court order.

"Detectives believe she drove her daughter and granddaughter to the Orlando area and bought them supplies to take a road trip out of the state, possibly to New York," Gant said.

Deputies said the couple and their daughter could be traveling in a white, 2007 Cadillac DTS with New York tag FBW1838.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Skylah, Wall or Singleton is asked to call 911.
