Houston police say Lee could face additional charges over the disappearance of his daughter

A Texas search and rescue team began trawling through an eight-foot deep landfill site the size of a football pitch on Monday to find a missing two-year-old girl whose father was spotted by a dumpster with a stroller. Her mom, Nancy Reed was strangled by her dad and police suspect the toddler may also be a victim of foul play.
Nadia Lee was last seen in her father’s apartment building in Pasadena, Texas, on October 15 before her father Jyron Charles Lee, 26 was captured on surveillance footage pushing a stroller around a dumpster, authorities said.
Nadia’s disappearance is being treated as a homicide by Houston Police Department. Authorities say that Jyron took Nadia out of foster care on October 14.
He has since been arrested and charged with murdering his wife and Nadia’s mother Nancy Reed, 22, by strangling her in a hotel room in Clear Lake, Houston.

The operation to search the landfill in the coastal town of Alvin will be carried out by EquuSearch, a Houston-based search and recovery group, that will use two track hoes and a bulldozer, its founder Tom Miller told local news outlet KHOU.
Miller who founded EquuSearch in 2000 after his daughter Laura Miller was abducted in 1984 at the age of 16, announced that his team will consist of ’18 people that are literally cutting open every bag’.
A spokesperson for Houston Police Department confirmed on Wednesday that the search is ongoing and Jyron is yet to be handed any additional charges.  
The landfill site in Alvin, Texas, is the size of a football pitch and 8 foot deep. Every bag will be opened, the Texas search team said.
Jyron Lee and and his common law wife Nancy Reed had five children together, family members told ABC13. The outlet reported that two of those children were present during the incident in which their mother was strangled to death.
The dispute arose over the way Reed disciplined their other child, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Police said the Leer claimed he was trying to stop the mother from harming one of their children: “He thought she was choking the baby or the child,” HPD Lt. Wilkens said.
“Not sure which one yet. He got behind her to put her in a chokehold to stop her. She went unconscious and that’s when he called us.”
Child Protective Services have the two children present, aged 1 and 3, in their care as they look for possible family members in the Houston area to take care of them, police said.
On Monday Lee remained in the Harris County Jail on a $250,000 bond and Police have said that he may face additional charges over the disappearance of his daughter Nadia. 
‘It is heartbreaking. It really is,’ Nadia’s grandmother Nora Reed told ABC13.
‘My heart is breaking in half. I just hope we find the baby, we find Nadia.
‘Why would he do something like this and why would he do it in front of his children?’ she added. ‘My heart is just broken.’

In a press conference on October 21 Houston Police said that they would be treating Nadia’s disappearance as a homicide.
Miller said that Jyron checked Nadia out of foster care on October 14 and never returned her.
He said that Jyron claims the child was with him at his apartment on October 16 when he took the trash out, but when he returned, the child was gone.

Miller said during the conference that his team spent hours last month searching a bayou and wooded area near Jyron’s apartment. 
‘We have received information, as well as physical evidence, and digital forensic evidence to determine foul play was involved,’ HPD Sergeant Blake Roberts said.
He also said that that authorities had collected DNA from Lee’s apartment.
Investigators believe that the 2-year-old was killed in Charles’ apartment and then moved, ABC13 reported sources as telling them. 
Miller said during the conference that his team spent hours last month searching a bayou and wooded area near Jyron’s apartment.
‘I don’t think this is going to have a positive outcome we would like to have,’ said Miller during the conference. ‘One of my biggest fears is there may not be an outcome.’
