GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Grand Rapids police interviewed the mother of 2-year-old Jozlynn Martinez again Saturday night, as the investigation into what happened continues.
Police confirmed to 24 Hour News 8 that investigators were at the home of Consuela Martinez at 915 Nagold around 8 p.m. Saturday. Consuela Martinez's mother, Retha, confirmed they were interviewing her daughter. On Friday, Police Chief Kevin Belk said no charges were pending against Martinez.
Consuela Martinez's boyfriend, Jeffrey Malmberg is charged with kidnapping Jozlynn. According to police, he was also questioned again Saturday from the Kent County Jail, where he is being held on $1 million bond.
Jozlynn Martinez died Monday night in her home and her body was disposed of in a trash receptacle, said Grand Rapids police chief Kevin Belk late Friday.
In a statement, Belk said Jeffrey Malmberg admitted to investigators the 2-year-old died in the home and he disposed of her body. Police have been searching the Kent County Waste-to-Energy facility.
Belk said the child's body has not been found, and would not say whether police believed the death was accidental or deliberate.
Having no body, Jozlynn's grandmother, Retha says she's frustrated police decided to cancel the Ambert Alert.
"She could still be out there alive, somewhere, someplace," said Retha, who did not want her last name to be published.
The family is trying to get Jozlynn's pictured registered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They're making posters to put up around neighborhoods, and t-shirts to bring awareness to the little girl's disappearance.
