GUILTY TX - D’Lanny Reinelle Chairez, 20, (found/arrested) & James, 18 months, San Antonio, 22 Feb 2021

[PommyMommy]

Am I understanding family has not seen the baby since Thanksgiving, but the article says "the Mother and Baby" were last seen Feb, 22?

The family acts like he hasn't been seen by anyone since Thanksgiving.....they think he is not alive!

So WHO saw the baby last?

A neighbor, but GM has doubts about the Feb 22 sighting.

Oh dear. Since Thanksgiving..

 

[CastlesBurning]

Oh dear. Since Thanksgiving..

Yeah...I try my best to be optimistic in all these cases, but the simple fact of how long it's been since anyone saw the little guy, combined with how the mom kept averting anyone from seeing him, just smacks of Casey Anthony to me. I hope to be proven wrong, of course, but I'm just not too hopeful about the outcome here.

SAPD: Missing mom and baby may be in danger, new surveillance video released | kens5.com
[...]

The video was captured Jan. 4 inside a drug store at Marbach Road and Military Drive, police say. Just days ago, SAPD officials said they had no evidence the baby was in any danger.

However, detectives now believe both the mom and baby might be. And local FBI officials say agents are assisting in the case, though to what capacity is unknown.

Jasmine Anderson is the founder of KJ's Angels, a nonprofit focused on child abuse. She also helps families with missing children, and is assisting the family in this case.

[...]

She said the fact authorities believe both the mother and child are endangered is a major development.

"What could they possibly know that we don't know?" she said. "Do they believe one of them could be dead or harmed? It just leaves a lot of questions to the public and for the family. We don't know what to think of it yet. But it doesn't sound good."

[...]

MG said the last time she saw her niece, meanwhile, was the end of February. She said she's been asking Dlanny to see James for months, but the mom kept giving her the runaround.

I can't stomach saying it, but I sure as heck hope that the baby is seen moving in that video.

I believe the baby was drinking from a blue sippy cup.

During the press conference, SAPD Officer Alisia Pruneda said authorities received a "credible tip" that the mother and her son were last seen at Pearsall Park in the early days of February during "late night hours."

MG is Dlanny's aunt. She said she hasn't see the baby since Thanksgiving. The great aunt of the child, fears he may not be alive.

[...]

MG said the last time she saw her niece was around the end of February. Gomez said since November she had been asking her niece to see James.

"I got tired of hearing that he is asleep, or we are not home," she said. "I would go over knock and she wouldn't answer me."

MG said not one family member has seen the 18-month-old since November. The family filed a missing person's report on the baby and his mother just a few weeks ago. Gomez said the mother stopped communicating with the family around that time.

Sadly it sounds all too familiar....Praying they are both found safe....

She also said her niece, has short brown hair but added Dlanny dyes it.

"She dyes her hair but her body frame is something that she can't change," Gomez said. "She's short, like, about 4'11", maybe five foot tall."

What scenario would have them calling in the fbi while searching local parks and such? Would they call in the fbi if they believed the mom was killed locally and James taken out of country or across state lines?

On Saturday, a specialized FBI team dedicated to finding missing children assisted more than 50 San Antonio Police cadets and officers and K-9 search teams at a local park after receiving credible information that placed them at the park. Police have also supplemented the searches with air assets.

Baby James and D’Lanny were last seen January 4th walking into a neighborhood pharmacy in the 7100 block of Marbach Rd where it intersects with W Military Dr. So far, no one interviewed by police has been in contact with D’Lanny since February 24th, approximately three weeks ago, where she was seen at a local bus station near Highway 90 and SW Military Drive. D’Lanny frequently uses San Antonio public transportation.

“I wonder how she got there,” said Mariesol Gomez, the aunt and great aunt to Chairez and James. “Besides there possibly being a bus stop nearby. I know she likes to take him out and about but I don’t know if she would go out that far, seeing as though there is a park right in front of her house.”

Uggh.

According to recent news articles D'Lanny and James were seen at a bus station on February 24th. So that throws out the Aunts story saying the baby was adopted out on Feb 10th.
