Her mon's ex-boyfriend, Travis Gauldin of Troy, is charged with murder and is currently being held in the Miami County jail awaiting a trial. He has admitted to police that he "caused"  her to  fall down the steps.

Malisa's mother, Mandy Kolker of Piqua told reporters that she "seeks justice for Malisa." She appreciated the efforts of the Head Start Program to remember and honor her daughter.
