Helicopters from MSP are up, one flew over my house a few minutes ago. Few miles to the Park although I'm not sure if they are still looking there.

The case of a missing 3-year-old from Indiana is now a possible homicide investigation…

I have been digging through Indiana court documents and little Nola has been part of a lengthy custody and visitation battle. Her father had visitation rights but according to court documents, Nola was kept from him often. In January of this year, mom petitionedto move from Marion, Indiana to Maryland but she pulled the petition during March mediation. This summer Nola’s dad who lives in Indianapolis was supposed to get additional time with her. They were set up for parental exchanges in Noblesville. More to come. https://phl17.com/phl17-news/3-year-old-girl-abducted-at-gunpoint-in-new-castle-county/

If you can provide a link to the custody case that is within TOS I would sure appreciate. Mom is charged and victim is believed to be deceased (while we await positive ID of body found) so I think it can be posted.

Was the parental exchange to happen soon? Is that why this baby was disappeared by her mother?

Darrian Randle, 31, was charged with one felony count of false reporting for calling New Castle County Police on the evening of June 10 to say her daughter, Nola Dinkins, was abducted at gunpoint in the 500 block of Gender Road in Ogletown.

Who is Darrian Randle?​

Little information about Randle was immediately known. A largely private Facebook profile showcased two photos that appeared to be of Dinkins when she was a baby.

Court records from Indiana, where public records show Randle lived for many years, show a paternity case with Dinkins' father was resolved in March of this year. Randle had filed a notice of relocation in January

New Castle County police said Randle is being held in prison on $1 million cash bond.

Mom of 3-year-old Nola Dinkins, who was subject of Amber Alert, charged with lying to police

Police said Darrian Randle lied about her daughter, 3-year-old Nola Dinkins, being abducted.

If I’m guessing (and this is all just speculation), I’d say she probably called her false kidnapping in DE because she thought she’d be less of a suspect if she wasn’t dealing with her local LE (MSP and/or the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office) and she probably chose Gender Rd due to it being a wooded area where she assumed there wouldn’t be any cameras to disprove her story. This of course neglects all the traffic cams and other cameras that would have followed her vehicle to and from that location, but she is clearly an idiot to begin with. All JMO

guessing the OP was to prevent her from moving before a hearing could be held since father objected to the move
