Dad Accused Of Trying To Sell DaughterSuspect Released, Investigation ContinuesPosted: 7:24 p.m. EDT August 23, 2002 Updated: 12:15 a.m. EDT August 24, 2002 DETROIT -- A man tried to sell his 6-year-old daughter to customers of a near east side party store, according to Detroit police.
According to investigators, the unidentified suspect and the girl were riding on a moped when they pulled up to the Chene-Trombly market at Edsel Ford service drive and Mt. Elliott late Saturday night. The man allegedly got off of the bike and tried to sell the girl to customers of the store. One customer told WDIV-TV in Detroit that the man wanted $50 for the girl and planned to use the money to buy alcohol, the station reported. A customer told a worker in the store and he called police. Other customers subdued the man until officers arrived. One man struck the suspect to prevent him from leaving, WDIV-TV reported, while others protected the girl from the growing, angry crowd. But the witnesses left once officers arrived and police said that without their testimony to confirm the story, they cannot pursue charges. The suspect was released because of a lack of evidence. The girl's mother was away at school at the time and unaware of the incident, WDIV-TV reported. Authorities have placed the girl in foster care.
