CANADA Canada - Emily Bailey, 23, New Years Eve party, Hamilton, Ontario, 31 Dec 2021

Another factor to consider: Motivation. Who would have reasons to want Emily to disappear?

MOO, but if Emily willing disappeared on her own for some reason it seems very likely that she would have contacted her family long before now.

In most MSM reports about her disappearance, the topic of substance abuse is mentioned. Is it possible Emily was involved with a sketchy group of people and her disappearance was somehow related to drugs?

Regarding motivational factors, I'm wondering if her pregnancy at this time was a contributing factor to her disappearance?

 

[RobertStackLover]

Did anyone here every look into the bf (I believe I read he was the owner of the house she was living at)?

Where’s Emily Bailey?

Per the CBC link above, the residence where Emily was last seen was the one on Weir Street that she shared with her BF.

I would hope and expect that Hamilton police have interviewed the homeowner at length regarding Emily's disappearance but there's no mention of that in the MSM reports I've seen.

I just started reading this thread and have only one thing to say so far. This video should have come with "get your tissues ready" warning, @dotr! Listening to Emily's oldest daughter say "Mummy" while someone wipes away her tears is heartbreaking. MOO

 

[PommyMommy]

I’m curious to know why they chose this location?

the flyers they’ve posted clearly state Kenilworth and Barton, while her last known sighting was located near Weir and Britannia: why for the sake of logic do these search parties and meet ups keep happening outside of this last know radius???

The most recent thread on that page states another great question: “[has Windermere park been searched yet]…?”

Windermere park is contains a large body of water with a natural catch basin, they even looked for Holly there so why haven’t they looked for Emily there?

Emily experienced homelessness and was living in a tent at one point. Based on the article below, it doesn't sound like there are still tents at Hamilton Gage Park, but there used to be homeless encampments there so this location makes sense to me. MOO

ETA: I should have read further...it would seem that the location of this vigil also supports that theory. Gage Park vigil in Hamilton to mark missing woman Emily Bailey's 24th birthday

Where’s Emily Bailey?

Thanks to @Laughing for providing that link. Very good MSM report on Emily's case.

After reading that report I'm curious what Hamilton police know about the homeowner on Weir St. This report indicates he was Emily's BF and she was living with him at the time she disappeared. His residence was searched several times by LE, but there's no mention about what, if anything, was discovered by those searches.

It may amount to nothing but there's a small detail in this article that stands out to me.

The last contact Hunter had with Emily was at 2:36 a.m. on New Year’s Day, when he sent her a Facebook message wishing her a happy new year. While she didn’t respond, he said the Messenger software shows it was the last message from him that she read.

How do we know she read it? I would guess she did since she was supposedly seen later between 8AM and 12PM. But even so, was she the only one who read it?

Hunter said Emily had started seeing someone new and soon moved into the property owned by Johnson. By the time she messaged Hunter to say she was pregnant, on Nov. 24, the couple was already “on and off,” as far as Hunter understood things.

So, she and JJ were on and off. She was pregnant. She had communication with her ex. That night. How did JJ feel about that?

MOO

Very good question. AFAIK there's no way to tell who actually read that message. Emily's account would have to be logged in to view the message, but I don't believe there's any way to know if Emily was actually the person who read it.

So, she and JJ were on and off. She was pregnant. She had communication with her ex. That night. How did JJ feel about that?

Another good question. I'm not aware of any information in MSM regarding JJ, his whereabouts at the time, etc. but hopefully LE has interviewed him thoroughly regarding Emily's disappearance. Based on the CBC link below, and several other similar MSM reports, we know the house on Weir St. has been searched one or more times, but so far we don't have any information about those searches or what they may have turned up.

[...]
Hamilton police eventually searched the house on a warrant in July, spokesperson Jackie Penman confirmed to CBC. Neighbours say police have been back several times since.

Where’s Emily Bailey?

 

[Dargon335]

I'm wondering about this so-called 'party' that Emily may have attended on New Year's Eve. Has anyone found any clarification or details about this? It's been mentioned several times in MSM but none of the reports provide any information.

Some MSM reports suggest Emily was last seen at this 'party', while other reports indicate she may have been seen the next day.

 

[Dargon335]

It has recently come to my attention that there are four podcasts from 2022 detailing information regarding Emily's background and events surrounding her disappearance. The WS admin team approved the use of these specific podcasts in Emily's MP case, so I will post some of the key points from each podcast.

To help follow WS guidelines I have removed the full names of the individuals mentioned and simply refer to them by their initials, however their names are used throughout the podcasts.

I would encourage anyone interested in Emily's disappearance to listen to these podcasts.

''Family members of missing Hamilton woman Emily Bailey are facing new questions about what happened to her, after a post appeared on one of her social media accounts Wednesday — almost a year and half since the young mother disappeared.

The TikTok post, which now has more than 150 comments from people speculating about who it came from, features a photo of a dog and 15 seconds of the song "Cupid" by K-pop girl group Fifty Fifty.

Bailey's mom, Lori Bevan, says she was taking her break at work when she learned about it.

"I felt really numb and thought, 'Who would do that?'" she said Thursday. "I was at work and all of a sudden I had to go home because I was shaking."

''Bevan says she has spoken to investigators about the TikTok post, and says they plan to ask the social media platform for more information on the device and location of the person who posted it. CBC contacted police to confirm whether this was happening, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

"[The police] said it could take 30 to 60 days," said Bevan. "They think it's a hacker."

''Hamilton police have requested information from TikTok after a photo was published on the account of a woman missing for over a year. Emily Bailey disappeared at the age of 23 and was last seen leaving a home on Weir St. North on Jan. 1, 2022 following a party the previous night. Two months later, the homicide unit took over the investigation due to their belief of foul play being involved in the disappearance of the mother of two. Despite past issues with drugs and homelessness, Bailey’s loved ones have said she remained connected with her daughters and was trying to turn her life around before she disappeared. Almost a year and a half after her disappearance, a photo of a dog laying on grass with a stick in its mouth was posted on Bailey’s TikTok account. The song “Cupid” by the South Korean girl group Fifty Fifty is also playing. Police told CHCH News that investigators believe her account was hacked. Officers have contacted TikTok in order to receive information about the origin of the post. “This requires judicial authorization and will take time and investigative follow-up,” a police spokesperson said in an email to CHCH News. Anyone with information on Bailey’s disappearance is asked to contact investigators at 905-546-4863.''

MOO, but assuming Emily had the opportunity to post a message on her SM then I would expect the content to be quite different from this. A message to her children and family would seem more likely IMO.

I definitely agree. I think her account was almost certainly hacked. JMO
