GUILTY OH - Elaina Steinfurth, 17 months, Toledo, 2 Jun 2013 - #1

Why does the poster still say the color of the shorts with the flowers? LE found the shorts in the home so the baby isn't wearing them.

That was Angela who claimed the shorts were found when she got home from the police station. Has LE confirmed the shorts were found and that it was them who found them?

The mother says, when she got back from the police department Monday morning, the shorts and the baby's medicine were both found in the home on Federal.

I do not see how ANYONE believes this is an abduction. All of the comments on news channels and other places are beyond bizarre to me.

This screams all shades of poor baby Ayla Reynolds to me. Good Lord, people. If you don't want your 1-year old daughter, send her to me. I'm sure many on this site feel the same.

There is no logical reason why the family - the mother with a reported history of hitting/pushing the kids, according to the boyfriend's mother, was it - would hand over the 4yo DD to visit Dad, but not 1yo DD. Something happened and I truly doubt it was an "abduction."

Find Elaina! Find Ayla! When will this insanity end??!!

It makes me ill. Nobody's baby should ever have to be searched for in garbage cans or abandoned houses. WHO failed this baby? I hope that person/those people rot.

Also, not to blame the boyfriend's mother, but if you see someone acting unstable, hitting their kids in the face & dragging them by the arms, CALL THE POLICE. CALL CHILD SERVICES.

I have a sick feeling this baby died of child abuse (head trauma from being hit or pushed or thrown or dragged) & thrown away like trash. JMHO

In their yard? Who's searching ?

In their yard? Who's searching ?

Our beloved dog was missing a few years back and we searched and searched for him. We put up flyers everywhere and knocked on doors. We didn't wait in the yard.
I'm praying Elaina is found safe. I would say I'm praying she's found and brought home safe but depending on who home is with, I'll wait for that.

MOO

I would think all the houses and streets right close to the home would be searched sunday night or yesterday morning. Any place she could have walked off to on her own, so within a few hundred yards or so shoudl have been searched immediately. So the idea they are now really searching in this one abandoned house has me pretty nervous and thinking why that spot ? What leads them to spend more time right there when I'm sure they've looked already briefly Because they are no longer looking for a baby that they can hear sounds from ? or that can respond when they call her name? no more listening for cries?

I was looking at TJ's photos, can someone tell me if the best man in their wedding pic (which is dated 6/4/11) is that of SK?

JMO - but i think the BF has a bigger heart than even he knows. i think he'll cave and cough up the info to LE if he hasn't already.

TPD and other law enforcement officers are out in full force looking for a missing toddler. Officers are going... http://fb.me/1DP5ygCVg

Unless I've missed something...has anyone seen any mention of searching with dogs. I would think they would've brought in some. Maybe I've just missed it...getting madder every time I read through the articles. Sometimes, MOO, I think they ought to inject truth serum or do electric shock on some of these parents with these obviously hinky stories of their babies disappearing. Sorry for the rant...oh where is this baby?

if she went missing from that house mid-day on a weekend day, i would think/hope someone saw something! but i just worry that maybe something happened that night?

did TJs dad say he heard the mom crying? or the baby crying? when he was there..

I thought he said the mother was crying and saying if she gave the baby to the father she wouldn't see her again. IIRC
