Cousin of missing 17-year-old arrested and charged in her disappearance
Michigan police have arrested a person of interest in the Jan 4. disappearance of 17-year-old Zion Foster according to FOX 2.
The Eastpointe Police Department, a Metro Detroit subdivision based in Macomb County, announced Jaylin Brazier, 23, was arrested Saturday on a felony warrant for lying to police in connection to Foster’s disappearance. Brazier, Foster’s cousin by marriage, was a person of interest in the case. After being searched for by police, he turned himself in on Jan. 19, and was questioned.
Officials confirmed Foster was last seen on Jan. 4 at her home in the 22000 block of Melrose Court in Eastpointe. Brazier picked up Foster at her home to hang out, and allegedly refused to tell the teen’s mother where she was after she didn’t return home, according to WDIV-TV.
Ciera Milton, Foster’s mother, says her daughter texted her that night and said she was coming home. Once that didn’t happen, Milton used her daughter’s phone’s GPS to track her location to the Greenfield and Seven Mile area in Detroit. Foster was then officially reported missing on Jan. 5.
A private investigator from Chicago, reached out the Local 4 Defenders with photos of Braizer’s vehicle, a Honda Acura. The car was seen Jan. 10 in Detroit and in Hazel Park. The car was seen on Jan. 13 in Waterford, however, there were no photos of Foster in the car.
Police said that they recovered the vehicle shortly after. Brazier was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in the 38th District Court, and is being held on $500,000 cash bond NBC 4 Detroit reported.
The missing teen is described as Black, 5’1″ tall, weighing 120 pounds. Police said she was last seen in a Detroit Wing Company uniform, WDIV-TV reported.
“We’re just trying to get our daughter back,” James Royster, Zion’s father, told The Detroit News. “All we want is for Zion to come home.”
Royster has started a fundraiser on GoFundMe to offer a reward for information or leads that can potentially bring Foster home.
