Elizabeth tells her grandfather that she is going to give Gabriel to the Smiths.
Elizabeth tells her grandfather that Gabriels best future is with the Smiths, and that the way things are going between she and Logan, Gabriel doesnt have a chance.
Elizabeth tells her grandfather that, since Logan would not relinquish his parental rights, she plans to avoid him for 30 days, and then claim that Logan had abandoned Gabriel.
The Smiths come to Elizabeths trailer, and spend 4 hours talking there. Elizabeth tells the Smiths that she is going to give away all of Gabriels belongings (Elizabeth may have told the Smiths this in the phone call of December 8, since the Craigslist ad to give away Gabriels belongings was placed by Elizabeth on December 8).
Tammi had to beg Elizabeth for Gabriels carseat and other belongings.
Elizabeth gives Gabriel to the Smiths.
Elizabeth calls Logan at work and tells him he has to sign papers to relinquish his parental rights so that she can place Gabriel for adoption.
Elizabeth tells Logan, There is no way in hell you are ever going to see your son again. Elizabeth threatens to harm Gabriel. Logan is frightened.
Elizabeth kept saying she didnt want Logan to have Gabriel, and wanted to place him for adoption.
Elizabeth tells Logan that she has already given Gabriel to a couple who is going to adopt him.
Logan refuses to sign any papers.
Either Elizabeth or Logan call LE. It is more likely Elizabeth who calls, because charges of filing a false police report are pending against her for this incident.
Elizabeth tells LE that Logan has kidnapped Gabriel and wont tell her where Gabriel is.
Six hours later, at 3:30am (December 10), LE finds Gabriel at the Smiths home.
A Tempe detective goes to the Smiths home, and is shown temporary guardianship papers. The papers are not official or legal.
The detective tells Tammi that Gabriel should remain with the Smiths.
Gabriel remains with the Smiths until December 18 (total of 10 days).
The Smiths earlier stated that Gabriel stayed with them from late November until early December, and that at this time, they were simply babysitting him while Logan and Elizabeth figured out what they were going to do. This is likely to be untrue.
The Smiths say they didnt communicate with Logan because Elizabeth told them that Logan was abusive. Tammi has also said that, to her knowledge, Logan has definitely never been abusive.
