Bay City Public Safety Capt. Nathan Webster said Amanda A. Pomeroy and Douglas M. Dougherty have not been seen or heard from since Jan. 12. The couple lives in Bay City but had been visiting family in or around the Rose City area when they were last seen, Webster said.

....
“The biggest issue is they have their 7-month-old with them and they haven’t been heard from,” Webster said. “Their family says that is unlike them.”

Endangered missing advisory issued for Bay City couple, 7-month-old infant



Police issued an endangered missing advisory for a Bay City couple last seen on Jan. 12.

They have not returned phone, social media and other messages. Police believe the couple may be traveling in a pewter 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with license plate EJB0041.

Anyone who sees them should call 911 immediately.

Family of Bay City couple gone missing also worried about couple’s baby boy traveling with them

Dougherty says the couple dropped their 9-year-old daughter off at a friend’s house in Sterling that night around 10:30, but Dougherty says a manager at a Shell gas station in Rose City saw Pomeroy at 6:25 a.m. on Wednesday.

Dougherty says the couple does have a history of drug addiction, and she’s worried they were under the influence when they disappeared, traveling with their infant son. Her grandson’s name is Jacob Dougherty, and he’ll be turning eight-months-old on Thursday.

“That baby doesn’t deserve this stuff. I don’t know what’s going on, but you shouldn’t be involved if they did want to take off. If they wanted to do what they wanted to do. That’s okay, but don’t involve the baby. That’s just not right right now. I wouldn’t be standing here if that baby wasn’t involved,” Dougherty said.

Family: missing Bay City couple, infant found dead in Northern Michigan

Tragic new details in the search for a missing Bay City family: all three, including an infant, are now believed to have been found dead in the woods of northern Ogemaw County, according to the mother of one of the victims.

There, a property owner discovered three bodies believed to be 35-year-old Douglas Dougherty, his 32-year-old girlfriend, Amanda Pomeroy and their seven-month-old son Jacob Saturday afternoon near a large wooded area.

Investigators responded to the scene off Rose City Road in Rose City, where family told ABC12 they found their car stuck on a boulder.

I wonder why they dropped the daughter off... Almost like they knew...

Very sad news. Prayers to the family and friends.

Then why not also drop off the baby

 

[JMapes]

I can't quite make sense of this yet. Did they hit the boulder with such an impact to cause fatal injuries to all three? If they hit a boulder and survived, wouldn't they exit the vehicle to find help? Sad outcome. I hope their families can find some answers. moo.

If they were going to use drugs in the car, they wouldn't want a 9 year old watching. The infant won't know what's going on. Doesn't explain the boulder, though.

They cared about what it looked like to the children, but not about how good of a carer/supervisor you are to a baby if you're using drugs? Makes no logical sense. Of course, I'm not a drug user, so maybe I just don't know.

Well, big kids can tell others that you're using, which could bring all sorts of consequences. Infants can't.

I’m not sure what to make of this either....

 

[Dee Deforest]

So sad.. I'm confused (not to unusual for me). Did they hit the boulder and wreck? Did they OD? It seems to be common knowledge they were addicts, did anyone try and help them? I just hope that poor baby didn't die over a 5 day period if they did OD..

I read that they called someone and said they were stuck on a trail days ago. But then they didn't answer their phone. So no fatal injuries from a crash.

Maybe they ran up on a boulder and high-centered on it? Google Maps
What a tragedy, my thoughts are with their little girl and loved one.
