In a news conference Tuesday, Tempe investigators said they interviewed Cherry, and he told them he had never met Johnson and never talked with her. Cherry also told police that he was related to Tammi Smith.
Tammi Smith tried to explain.
"I remember the conversation between me and (Elizabeth)," Smith said. "We were laughing about it and I just commented on how Logan (McQueary) and my cousin (Craig Cherry) have the same record about DUIs and stuff and we were making a funny joke about that."

The search warrants come just hours after Tammi Smith voluntarily met with Tempe detectives for more than two hours Thursday.
She quickly admitted that she played a role in manipulating paperwork with Elizabeth Johnson, the mother of baby Gabriel.
"I made a poor decision back when I met Elizabeth," said Smith. "I helped her (Elizabeth) file her paperwork so she could get her child support and things like that. There was another name put on there and I helped her (Elizabeth) fill out that paperwork, and because of that it obviously doesn't make me look good."
The name on the paperwork, was apparently Craig Cherry, which prompted Tempe police detectives to look into the possibility Cherry was Gabriel's father.
According to detectives, Cherry is not Gabriel's father, but is a relative of Tammi Smith.
"Instead of putting a false name there, I helped her (Elizabeth) put another name," said Tammi Smith.
