I transcribed this word for word from this video clip on the Nancy Grace Show for Thursday evening 06/20/13. From watching the show, there is more to this phone interview with Christie Edmonds but it's not on this video clip. I'll try and find the rest of what she said on the show.

Nancy Grace (06/20/13): Elaina goes missing in broad daylight and last seen napping in the family home, but now were learning she wasn't seen the day she went missing, with me, special guest, Christie Edmonds. This is the boyfriend, Steven King's cousin. Christie, I know you talk to your cousin Steven King every day, he even stayed at your home recently. What is he saying happened the day the baby goes missing?
Christie Edmonds (06/20/13): "
From what he tells me is that the baby got up in the morning, and it was no different than any other morning and she was fine playing with her toys and things. She got tired, laid her down for a nap.
Steven placed her on the bed, Angela changed her diaper and gave her a cup. They left the house and went to a store called Universal, came back from that store, was home for a while, he was out front with the older kids playing, Steven, my cousin Steven was out front with the older kids playing. Angela was in and out of the house. He said she could come out and smoke and go back house. Then they left and went to the Dollar General. Came back from there and a short time later is when TJ showed up and they gave TJ the first daughter, and they got into an altercation, yelling, TJ left, came back with his dad, and they got into it again. My Aunt said Steven go into the house so they could stop arguing, and my Aunt and Uncle stayed on the porch and tried to, you know, calm the situation. My Uncle spoke to my Aunt and told her, you need to go tell Angela to bring the baby out, and when she went in and that's when Angela told her the baby was missing."
===================================
ACR HERE: So now we have two different stories, and I have a few questions and thoughts.
(1) Friends and family of Angela said they were told by Angela that she woke up on Sunday morning (06/2) and discovered that Elaina had a black eye, blood coming from her nose, and a bump on her head. Additional family (Father, Richard Schiewe) stated Angela told him she was threatened "she's next" if she told. a) WHY bother to tell this story? b) Whose advantage was it to tell this story? and c) Why threaten Angela, why not threaten her other child?
(2) Now Steven King Jr's cousin, Christie Edmonds is coming forward to give Steven's side of the story of how Elaina was that SAME morning of June 2nd, and he claims the baby got up like every other morning and was playing with toys and things. Christie even said that it was Steven who laid Elaina on the bed just before Angela changed her diaper and gave her a cup. If Elaina had a black eye and blood coming from her nose, I'm sure Steven (who has a young son of his own according to his now deleted Facebook) would have noticed that.
(3) So if it's true that baby Elaina WAS in the King family house the morning of Sunday June 2nd, witnessed in statements now passed on between Angela telling her friends ("Frank") and family (Sister, Mary Schiewe), and Steven King telling his cousin (Christie), then SOMEBODY removed the baby from the house sometime before 2:00pm when the father, TJ showed up to pick up the children, or while the father was outside, or when the father left long enough to take the 4 year old to his own father's house, before he returned.
(4) Angela made the big announcement that Elaina was missing AFTER the Grandfather, Terry Steinfurth and his son, TJ returned back to the King house.
(5) Ferretmommy (baby's grandmother) stated here on WS that Angela didn't drive and didn't have a car. Sooooo, if Steven King Jr's statements to his cousin are true, then somebody who had a vehicle took Elaina from the King family home on 6/2, either before, during or after the father, TJ showed up.
(6) So somebody is lying ! :banghead:
(7) Does anybody know when the Ohio Food card is loaded for Toledo? If it's June 1st, then it's possible that their midnight trip (6/1) could have been to meet with somebody to trade cash for food stamps, so Angela could go the next day to buy cigarettes.
(8) Either way, all three trips that Angela made between 6/1 and 6/2 (that we know of); 1) Midnight run, 2) Universal Convenient Store, and 3) Family Dollar required somebody to drive her in a vehicle.
(9) So if Angela is the one who seriously injured baby Elaina, thus having to make a distorted decision to get rid of the baby, then SOMEBODY else helped her remove the baby from the King family property.
(10) So who would Angela trust enough to ask to help her hide a seriously injured baby?
Just my opinion and thoughts
