KS KS - Vincent Moore, 4 months, Wichita, 11 July 2015

What a beautiful boy. This is just heartbreaking. How can you hurt a 4 month old baby? What can they possibly do to make you angry, besides cry? uugghhhhhh

If you haven't done so already, please SHARE. Anyone with info. on where this baby boy could be is asked to call police. As the search continues, Vincent Moore's family is holding a prayer vigil at 8:30 p.m. tonight at 24th N. and Hillside

Another baby that will never be seen again. Sigh...

Sadly, it seems that way. Too much time has passed. Mother last saw little Vincent on June 5th. Vincent was last seen July 11th. If police can't find little Lonzie with only a few hours missing in the timeline, how can they possibly find this little sweetie?

I have thought about going to the vigil, but I am leaning towards it being better I do not. I have little to no hope this sweet boy will ever be found and I am not sure I can keep my mouth shut.

I am going to use my fellow WS members as a sounding board for my disgust. Only ONE station out of THREE has bothered to report on the vigil for this baby boy. Thank goodness there is a family member who has posted on all of the sites because outside of her and the one station, nothing has been mentioned. I am appalled. We are not a city where something like this is easily brushed away amid other breaking news.

FFS. This cannot end good.

I agree. I do not see a good end to this, either.

Edit: my thoughts are probably better left unsaid!

Your thoughts probably mirror mine!

This just infuriates me! I will never understand how a parent could hurt their child and just dispose of them like garbage. Me and my husband have been trying to have a 2nd child for 2 1/2 years now with no success so cases like these just break my heart! There are so many loving families that desperately want a child and then there are monsters that don't seem to care how lucky they are!

It IS infuriating! I can only imagine how stories like this resonate with people trying to conceive. On the flip side however I can see how some people "lose it" with young babies. Particularly new mums with or without postnatal depression. From personal experience I know just how close some people come to doing something unthinkable - especially when you've been working all day & are up most of the night with a screaming newborn who, no matter what you do, just won't stop screaming. You can suffer from anything from irrational thoughts (why doesn't my child love me) to "just shut up" and worse. It's the strong, mature adult that has the mental capacity to recognise the danger signs and step away.

I'm guessing GM didn't recognise the signs or something went horribly wrong. MOO

Crews searching in a wooded area near a railroad track. http://ksn.com/2015/08/03/search-crews-in-south-wichita/ Not good.

UGH! I'm so tired of reading about missing babies.

It breaks their heart. I have some friends who are TTC/going through IVF etc and they all say the same thing - just give your baby/child up if you want to hurt it because there are SO many people out there who would crawl over hot coals to take care of that child for you instead.

Missing baby Vincent's father speaks from jail

We asked Moore what he thinks happened to his son. "I think she just has him stashed away," said Moore. "That's all I want to think about."

He's talking about Vincent's mother, Michelle Mendez. The couple separated, but are legally married. Mendez told us Moore had Vincent last. Moore says she did.

"The night I had dropped him off to her, she just yanked him out of my car and yanked the diaper bag and left," said Moore.

Moore tells us he took their kids to Texas to get them away from Mendez. We asked why Moore was worried about his kids being in her custody. "Because Michelle has a history of doing drugs," said Moore. "And when she doesn't have money, she'll go to a man that does have money and she'll do whatever it takes to get that money."

Moore says he brought Vincent back to Mendez in Wichita so the baby could get his vaccinations and be approved for daycare. That's the last day he says he saw the 5-month-old in early July. Moore was arrested soon after.

"I think it's real (expletive) up and stupid to be honest," said Moore. "Because I've been telling the police to take my kids from her custody and nobody's done anything. Once I do, something like this happens."

I think Wichita is turning even more against the mother. I honestly could not tell you who did what. (A lot of comments below.)

Vincent Moore was last seen a month ago. As the search for him continues, Lauren Seabrook spoke exclusively with the baby boy's father today.

So the Dad in jail says he gave little Vincent to the Mom, but the Mom says the Dad never brought Vincent back? Ugh.
