Just wanted to say I support this mom 100%. I never meant to insinuate she has done anything wrong. My daughter grew up in a different time when the only phone she had was one of those "bag car phones" and it was just for her to call me when she left cheerleading practice and let me know she was on her way home, things like that. All we paid for were 30 minutes a month and she never went over her limits with it. (Looking back, only one of her friends had a phone so there was not too much she could have used it for, LOL) When she was in college, we had advanced to a "real cell phone". She went to a local college but stayed on campus. She worked at night the first month and I would make her call me when she got out of her car and stay on the phone until she got safely into her dorm. This case is heartbreaking to me and I feel so bad for this mom. Yes, I too feel she is doing everything right to find her daughter.
 
She's actually missing from Columbia, South Carolina (Richland County). Within 5 mins of my house. News Conf scheduled for tomorrow morning.
 
Unfortunately I have to work when the presser will be streaming and the hospital has fun stuff like that disabled (boo) so I can't watch it. I'll be keeping up with WIS online, and I hope they have some good news for us tomorrow. I'll just keep praying for it.

Oh! And a thought I had earlier...a couple days ago I noticed some helicopters in the area flying quite low. i think I know why now. :( There's a lot of wooded areas around here and I wouldn't be surprised if they were checking it out. :(
 
ten days ago mother discovered her child abducted from home

gabbie was safe in home when mother got home she was gone and immediately notified LE

this has impacted the community, the nation and around the world

they know who is responsible: Freddie Grant

he took her to his home

he has been charged with kidnapping and is in custody???
 
family was immediately eliminated

Grant is family friend of Gabbie's mother

first interview he was completely uncooperative with LE...

as the search went on investigators made the case against Mr. Grant
 
forensic lab has played major part in who took gabbie: tracking of cell phones and dna

grant too her to his house..

blood has been found on duct tape and her dna has been found at his residence

cell phones show route they took and where it ended up at
 
talking about mother

how wonderful she is

she worked hard and did everything she could to protect her child

she is very upset right now.

they will continue to be with her
 
I think it's possible that while mom had her phone she received text messages, possibly from a boy, then when mom gave her back her phone she saw these messages and replied. The guy could have still been up and she mentioned "oh my mom had my phone but she just went to work", and then she was coerced to come out to meet him, perhaps he was with a group of guys and they had been partying/drinking, or even if he was alone, being alone with a guy/guys as a young lady can, unfortunately lead to harm...
