An Amber Alert was issued Thursday for Amarah Banks, 26, and her daughters Zaniya Ivery, 5, and Camaria Banks, 4, after Banks was reported missing by her family on February 9.
Arzel Ivery, Banks’ boyfriend gave police investigators information that led them to the Milwaukee garage where Banks and her daughters were found, Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales said during a news conference.
Ivery, 25, is being held in Memphis on a charge of fugitive from justice without a warrant, according to Shelby County Jail records. He has not been charged in connection with the deaths, Morales said.
Ivery appeared before a judge Monday, where he waived an extradition hearing. He’ll return to Wisconsin to face an aggravated battery charge.
The Memphis Police Department called Milwaukee police Saturday to tell them that they had been in contact with Ivery, Morales said.
It is unclear if Ivery has legal representation at this time.
Banks and her children were last seen on February 8, Milwaukee police said.
“She’s just the kind of person that’s very consistent,” Spinner-Banks said. “For her not to get in contact with us, and not to let us know that something is wrong.”
