Houston police are investigating a case of parental kidnapping by a local woman.
Mareyea M. Switzer, 18, of 319 N. Grand Ave., left with a 1-year-old daughter without telling the child’s father, police said.
According to a police report, a chaplain at Camp Pendleton, Calif., reported to police that Switzer told him that she had made arrangements with the child’s father to take the tot so that she could marry a Marine. Police have not been able to reach her. The father denied any arrangements were made.
A report will be sent to the county prosecutor’s office.
