Where is Oaklee Snow? Toddler last seen in Indianapolis missing after mother's arrest

In January, 2-year-old Oaklee Snow was taken from her father’s home in Oklahoma without his consent by her mother, Madison Marshall.

Marshall, 22, now sits in a North Carolina jail facing neglect charges, but Oaklee, who was last seen in Indianapolis, is nowhere to be found.

“I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” said Zack Snow, Oaklee’s father, to an Oklahoma news station. “I’ve been on my phone day in, day out. I mean, you know, contacting and trying to find somebody that might know where she’s at.”

Oaklee Snow, 2, has blond hair, blue eyes and weighs about 35 pounds, according to a March 8 release from Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. At the time Indianapolis police said Snow was last seen Jan. 19 in Cromwell, Oklahoma but was brought to Indianapolis by Marshall.

Marshall left with both Oaklee and Snow’s 7-month-old son, Coleton, traveling with her boyfriend Roan Waters, who has family in Indiana, according to court documents.

Madison Marshall was arrested in North Carolina on neglect of a dependent charges. Oaklee has not been found despite multiple interviews between Marshall and authorities.

Court documents: Boyfriend and mother stayed in Indianapolis 'drug house'

On March 3, police in Colorado arrested Waters for an outstanding warrant on charges of child abuse and domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor in Oklahoma, records state.

Waters told detectives he had traveled from Oklahoma with Marshall and her two children in his blue Dodge Durango. After reaching Indianapolis, they stayed at a "trap house" so he and Marshall could use drugs, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Waters said they made the decision to abandon 7-month-old Coleton at an Indianapolis residence and take Oaklee with them, records state.

During an interview with TV station KFOR, Seminole County investigator J.T. Palmer said that according to authorities in Indianapolis, witnesses saw Oaklee being carried out of what he was told was a “crack house" on Feb. 9.

“They described it as she was either asleep or unconscious. She wasn’t moving,” said Palmer. “She was wrapped in a blanket.”

Waters said a family member recovered Coleton from the Indianapolis house near Garfield Park and turned him over to the Indiana Department of Child Services, according to an affidavit.

Waters was unwilling to provide authorities where they could find Oaklee, records state.

‘We want Oaklee home’

"We are all devastated... in disbelief and confusion right now," Keona Waters, Roan Water's sister said, in a statement to IndyStar, adding their family was hopeful for positive news but declined further comment.

Her comments were echoed by others.

April Kelley, a family friend of the missing girl, said the whole situation is traumatizing.

“I'm a mother of five children and my children know Oaklee," Kelley said. "We've gone camping with them, my kids played with her. It's just heartbreaking and traumatizing.”

Kelley’s husband and the missing girl’s father Zachary Snow grew up together. In recent years, the families have become so close that Kelley considers Zachary Snow her brother.

“We just pray for the best,” Kelley said. “We want the best outcome, and we want Oaklee home. It's been really hard.”

Family and friends have called every hospital in the Indianapolis-area hoping to locate the missing girl to no avail. When the children were first taken by their mother, Zachary Snow had issues getting help from authorities as their mother had full custody, Kelley said.

“Had they helped him at first maybe Oaklee would already be home and maybe they would've already found her,” Kelley said.

Oaklee’s loved ones just want her home.

“Oaklee is a happy baby,” Kelley said. “She has the biggest blue eyes, and she always is smiling. She'd always make you smile when she would look up at you."

Paul Waters, Roan Water's father, said he was "sad and sickened" on learning that Oaklee was missing. From a ranch in Oklahoma where he trains and sells horses, Paul Waters said he had received a call from Roan Waters in jail, but declined to assist his son with bail money.

He can't imagine what befell Oaklee, but said he hopes someone comes forward with information soon.

"I guarantee someone knows something," Paul Waters said. "It's not like losing your keys or your damn phone. It's a kid. Somebody has to know something."
