Search Continues For Missing Dallas 9-Month-Old

Compiled from staff reports
DALLAS (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ― Dallas police have released new information today about the arrest of Tamaira Creagh, the mother of missing 9-month-old Daisja Weaver.

The release of information comes as crews continued to search Lewisville Lake for the baby's body.  Creagh told police that the child's father threw her body into the lake.

Today the department released the arrest warrant affidavit for Creagh.  Officers arrested Creagh on Monday and charged her with tampering with evidence.

The affidavit contains much of the same information as the arrest warrant affidavit for the baby's father, Alandus Weaver.  Creagh's affidavit says she came home from work on June 8 to find her daughter's lifeless body wrapped in a towel on the floor.

The affidavit goes on to say that Weaver and Creagh drove to Lewisville Lake, where he tied a sandbag to the child's body and threw it in the water.

A Dallas Police Department spokesperson tells CBS 11 News officers are preparing to charge Creagh with filing a false police report.  That would be in addition to the existing charge of tampering with evidence.

Local lawyer Roderick White contacted CBS 11 News this week, claiming to represent Creagh.  In a news release Tuesday, White says Creagh is a "victim of long term domestic abuse."  The release also says, "Her initial participation in Alandus Weaver's cover-up story was simply a byproduct of the grief, shock, and fear associated with domestic violence and abuse."
