Unless she really did not want the baby and took off with another person (which is the least likely possibility), this whole story stinks of the boyfriend.
I have times when I don't talk to my kids for 2 weeks so her Mom not knowing she was gone is not that unusual, especially if they were not close. Kids nowadays are so darn busy, they do not keep in touch anymore.
It is the boyfriend I have my eyes on. I bet there was a custody case he saw brewing on the horizon, because I find it interesting that she went missing only after HE had the baby. Especially if they had broken up. There are lots of guys who do not want to pay child support, sad as that sounds. They would rather have the child than pay the ex.
He lives on a huge parcel of land, 45 acres I think they said? They have footage of her shopping just before dropping the baby off (I can only assume he was going to have the baby for the T-giving holiday?). She went right to his house for the drop off after shopping.
I can't figure out the phone being so far away, but he could have driven it there to throw off the investigators. They did get a search warrant to search of his entire property, and also impounded his truck, so if there is anything of her in the truck they will find it.
What is so unusual about him is him not wanting to come in and talk to the detectives. He is only shining a light on himself. If he did nothing, he would be talking to them. He is only concerned about himself. He said "he wanted the media to stop incriminating him". Him, Him, Him. Not helping to find her, not seemingly concerned. Only worried about himself.
On her part, I just can't see a mother just walking away from a 1 year old. It absolutely happens, and as terrible as that would be, she has the right to give him the baby and walk away. Her cars being home is the part that doesn't add that story up in my mind. She would have told him "you take the baby, I am moving" or something like that. There was no need to disappear, she had the other parent to take the baby if she was too much for her. AND, she would have called the police and fessed up by now, not letting this countrywide search go on. Walking away is not illegal.
Meeting another guy and taking off with him is a possibility. A baby can get in the way of moving on with her life. It happens. There are so many mentally messed up people in the world now, it is not always the guy at fault, so I am trying to keep an open mind.
But I really do not think this is going to end well. There was recently a woman who disappeared and they were all over the husband like a tick on a dog. Then they did find her van, and she was in it, dead of a suicide. Never mumbled a word to any family or her husband she was in psychological trouble. Just said she was going to the store and instead drove into the woods a bit and downed a bottle of pills. So there is always that possibility.
I still go back to the weird behavior of the boyfriend, whether they were together or not, he was the last that had contact with her. It wasn't odd to him that she did not even call in 10 days? Or maybe she did come back to get her baby and that is when he did something. He could have done anything to her with the baby in tow since she is only 1. (that is my #1 thought right now. she came back to get baby and he did something).
One thing I believe is that the detectives know way more than they are saying right now. This sounds a lot like the Scott Peterson (Lacy and baby) murder.
If I had a life do-over, I would love to be a forensic investigator. All these caes are sad, but fascinating at the same time.
