So do the words "a short note saying she needed her space" change everything?
I agree. Honestly, I'm just glad they're reporting the story at all. It seems to have been picked up, pretty widespread at this point. I saw an article yesterday in the Chicago Tribune, and yesterday another poster said it was being reported in Colorado as well. I'll forgive a few incorrect details if the trade off means Ebony's case gets exposure. Too often these women vanish off the face of the earth and we only hear of it months later- or never.
I have thought all along it is strange Ebony would take an infant in the car on a 8 hour road trip. Most babies are not going to want to be in the car that long.
If I am looking at the correct person, the baby's father appears to be white. The baby does not appear to be of mixed race. I wonder if he was the true father or just acting as the father. Has the DNA come back to allow the father to take custody.
Since we do not know where Ebony spend the last two nights before the baby was found, I think there is a strong possibility that she spend it with the mystery friend.
I wonder if the mystery friend did not want the baby to be a part of his life.
All along I have felt it was Ebony who left the baby. What I don't know is if she did so voluntarily or if she was under duress.

BRECKENRIDGE HILLS • Police are meeting with prosecutors this morning in St. Louis County to seek a court order that could help locate a car driven by a missing woman whose baby was found abandoned last week.
The order seeks to force a car dealership to activate a GPS system installed in the woman's car. Breckenridge Hills police referred all questions this morning to Det. Sgt. Jeff Heisse, who they said was seeking the court order at St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch's office this morning.

Originally, Heisse told Stella Jackson that she had to ask the dealership for permission to activate the device to locate the vehicle. Stella Jackson told the Post-Dispatch that the dealership said they could not do so without a court order from police.
"Why have they waited so long to do this?" she asked.

There's now an update at the link
That the car has been found.
Being a "local", I can tell you that that is not the nicest neighborhood in town.
So where does all this leave us in the theorizing department?

What is weird to me is that none of the local news websites (Fox, KMOV, KSDK) are showing this update.
