Authorities in Iowa say they have searched a woman's car in connection to the Town of Beloit missing baby case, but the infant has not been found.
Police in West Branch, Iowa say the woman flagged an officer down around 5:30 this morning while at a gas station.
The woman was on the phone with another law enforcement agency. West Branch Police would not confirm the name of the other agency with NBC15.
The woman handed the cell phone to the West Branch Officer, who spoke to someone with the other agency. After the two officers spoke, the woman gave the West Branch Officer permission to search her car for a missing baby. He did not find any evidence in the case.
The officer ran the woman's name and arrested her in connection with an unrelated, outstanding warrant in a different state.

Okay, this all makes more sense now.
LE likely called her to see if she knew where the baby was since she had left the scene.
She consented to a search. They did not find the baby.
They found a warrant and arrested her.
This was at 5:30am so she was making appropriate time from Beloit.
I feel much better about this scenario now and I am doubting her involvement.
Copp also confirms articles of baby clothing were with Smith, but Kayden was not. He says FBI agents are en route to Iowa to speak with Smith.
Which is right...clothes found or not?
Town of Beloit Police Chief Steve Copp confirms Smith told authorities about the plan to move to Colorado with Marshall, Bruce Powell and young Kayden Powell.

Chief Copp confirms Kristin Smith left the Town of Beloit home where Marshall, Bruce Powell and Kayden Powell were staying in the early hours of Thursday morning, before the parents reported Kayden missing.

So she is talking if she confirmed the possible move? What is she talking about?
She left Wisconsin to return to Colorado and they arrested her in Iowa without Kayden...
I so hope she didn't take him and if she did I hope she has accomplices! lease:
Was it mentioned somewhere that she was in the house the night the baby disappeared?
I thought originally it was a BROTHER and his friend?

In the video with Police Chief Copp he states that the when they asked KS about the baby clothes in the car it was "explained" that with Kayden his mother and father moving to Colorado she had taken them. Interesting that the initial contact with her was via phone. They asked where she was and she said somewhere in Iowa. They asked her to exit the highway were they would have LE meet her. Why didn't they just pull her over without warning that they needed to talk to her?

That still makes me wonder who the friend and other relative were that were at the police station this morning?

Awh, the dear, long-lost relative from the family tree shaped like a pretzel.
If she had to introduce herself, then did no one know her prior to this?
Mother, father, brother of the mother and a great grandmother in the home when he disappeared.
I think one was just reported incorrectly as a friend of the family. :twocents:

Town of Beloit Police say they have no suspects right now as they search for a baby that went missing from a local home.
Police say they have interviewed eight people in this case. All of those interviewed were known to be in the house within 12 hours of the time the 5-day-old baby was reported missing.
One of those people was Kristen Smith, the woman who was arrested around 5:30 this morning in Iowa. She is not a suspect in the case.
Police say all eight people they have interviewed have been cooperative. There were four at the home when the baby was reported missing: the mother, father, a brother of the mother and a great grandmother.
There was no forced entry into the home. Police say this is still an active search.
