WHEATON, Md. – A missing 6-month-old Wheaton girl is safe and back with family members. But, police say the baby’s 14-year-old mother remains missing.
Montgomery County Police say Shanee Cox, 14, and her daughter, Nevaeh Cox, disappeared Feb. 2. Family members worried about the baby’s welfare, and said Shanee Cox might need medical attention.
