Michigan Mom Breaks Into Home and Takes Her Own 2-Year-Old Daughter During Thursday Night Invasion, State Police Searching
A little girl in pink pajamas was taken from her own home on a Thursday evening. She is 2 years old. Her name is Zuri Armani Whitson-Rich. And right now, nobody knows where she is.
This is not a story about a missed custody exchange or a parenting dispute. Police are calling what happened on Electric Avenue a suspected home invasion. That word changes everything about how serious this moment is.
The House on Electric Avenue
On June 4, 2026, at around 6:30 p.m., someone entered a home at the 3100 Block of Electric Avenue, near Roselawn Court in Port Huron, Michigan.
Police say Zuri’s biological mother, Dashyrua Rich, took her from that address during what authorities are describing as a home invasion.
Zuri is 3 feet 2 inches tall. She weighs 35 pounds. Brown hair. Brown eyes. Last seen in a pink pajama top and bottoms.
She has not been found.
An Endangered Missing Advisory, Not an Amber Alert
Michigan State Police issued an Endangered Missing Advisory for Zuri the same night. Many readers will wonder why there was no Amber Alert.
The two systems work differently. An Amber Alert requires very specific criteria: confirmed abduction details and a known suspect vehicle. When those conditions aren’t fully met, law enforcement uses an Endangered Missing Advisory instead.
As reported by FOX 2 Detroit, sources confirmed no Amber Alert is expected in this case. That does not make Zuri any less missing. It makes community awareness more critical, not less.
What Makes This Case Different
Most articles on this story treated it like a standard bulletin. Name, weight, phone number, done.
But this was a home invasion. Dashyrua Rich allegedly entered a residence where Zuri was being cared for and took her without permission. There is no scheduled exchange, no mediator, and no easy resolution path here.
This kind of violence directed at the most vulnerable people inside a home is something that keeps showing up.
In Modesto, California, a grandmother, a young mother, and a two-week-old baby were killed inside their own home in a triple homicide that left the community in shock. Different circumstances, same painful truth: home is supposed to be the safest place.

Why This Matters
According to the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, nearly 30,000 children were reported missing in 2024 in the United States.
About 91 percent were recovered. The cases that don’t resolve quickly tend to involve the youngest children, those under 3, who cannot communicate or ask for help.
Zuri is 2.
Family abductions involving a home invasion have no clean resolution. Law enforcement has to physically find them, and public tips are often the only thing that breaks these cases open.
In Vancouver, it took two full years and a family’s relentless advocacy before any protective measures were installed at the spot where a woman was killed inside her own home. What happens to people inside homes gets forgotten faster than it should.
