Found Deceased MO - Darnell Gray, 4, Jefferson City, 24 Oct 2018 *Arrest*

[liltexans]

If you watch the videos from the reporter's tweets that I posted above, she says the police arrested 2 women earlier today. One of the videos shows one of the women being taken away in handcuffs.

Lord have mercy, we know how this is going to turn out. Can I please be wrong?!

Poor sweet beautiful baby

so, jmo only, but at 4, would he really think to get his coat, shoes, backpack, lunch, hat, etc and make it out the door at midnight without someone hearing him? It really sounds to me like he was taken by another family member (best case scenario) - or, the "guardian" put him somewhere else with a snack to hold him over. Possible trafficking? Just some thoughts - absolutely nothing to back any of this up.

Yeah so we're supposed to believe a 3 year old put on his hat, coat, shoes, backpack, picked out two juiceboxes and a cookie and left by 7am? My husband barely handles that on his own at 33.

How in the world can the arrest and taking the washing machine NOT be in connection to the disappearance of this sweet little boy Darnell? Hoping and praying he is found safe and sound.

I’m at the @JeffCityPolice station now. I went in and asked if there were any more updates. Officials told me no. Tune into @KOMUnews at 9 and 10 for the latest on Darnell Gray, the missing 4-year-old boy from Jefferson City.

Jefferson City Police Department Capt. Deric Heislen said police received a call from the the missing child's home.

"He was with a caretaker at that time," Heislen said.

Heislen said the child's father also lives at the home but was at work when the child went missing. He said the department sent officers and did an initial search of the home but didn't find the boy.

[...]

"It's believed the child exited through the front door of the residence, it's possible he could have gone out a window, but we are thinking the child walked out the front door. We aren't sure," Heislen said.

Little darling.

I know. I was thinking- even if the little guy took off on an adventure by himself, he'd get down a street or two, realize nothing was familiar or hear a noise that might frighten him, and start crying.

Seriously.

yes! Something is so wrong here.

ugh we all know how these stories go. PLease prove me wrong

 

[Seahorseladydi]

A 4 year old might do this during the day. Little ones are usually too scared of the dark at that age.

What a cutie pie.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100%!!!

My stomach has been very upset for the past couple days (from an antibiotic I was taking) but with Jayme and now this.... my heart is in my stomach

Police: Flurry of activity at missing child's home not connected to search
Strange...

Not connected to Darnell.... yet TWO people were arrested and they removed a washing machine from the residence??
Strange? YA! Just a wee bit!



ETA: sorry for all the posts... just getting caught up on this little man.

My almost 3 yo is scared of the dark. I think at that age they really wouldn’t be thinking hey let’s pack a snack. I hope I’m wrong.

Ty Crystal!!! Bring that baby home.

Any mention of who these women were to Darnell? Maybe he went looking for one of them? I'm hoping it's something innocent, but that washer being removed is worrisome.

The only far fetched thing I can even dream up is that the washer is stolen or something and they are using that to arrest people they’re suspicious of. Sadly, I doubt that’s the reason...
