Apartment manager said she was not the woman in the apartment. Is there other evidence that ties D to the apartments? Why did the two residents insist it was her? Are they involved somehow?

I had wondered the same thing.

I'm only on page 3 so far and dont know much about this case but already Im leaning towards the woman wanting the baby and holding her somewhere til she has it. Someone else must have been involved to get her out of the apartment building too.

That would involve a lot of careful planning and timing. If that's the case, and it could be, they didn't put much thought into their plan. Her family knew exactly where she was and why, they knew she should have been back shortly, and they knew enough to call the police within a couple of hours because she didn't return, which they knew was highly suspicious.

It's a matter of finding out who is not being truthful. The woman in the apartment she visited? The other people in the apt. building? The woman the neighbors claim lived there although that woman claims she never met Savanna? The apartment manager?

I also initially thought someone wanted the baby. But if that's the case, why go through the trouble of holding someone hostage for a month until the baby is born. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to wait until the baby is born and then snatch it?

[LisaWL7TR]

Can anyone provide a link regarding the "four men" being referenced please? TIA.

Post #136, I think is where they are first mentioned.

 

[flute4peace]

Did anyone else notice, in the news video/story where DK claims her innocence & says she doesn't know anyone at the apartment building; after speaking with CM & RG and being shown a picture of DK on their phone, the reporter goes BACK to DK to ask her about the picture. At that point DK admits it's her in the pic but still claims she doesn't know them.

That stood out to me. Although to be fair I didn't get enough of a glimpse of the pic to know whether it was a personal picture or one "borrowed" from FB, etc.

I believe DK. At the end of this clip, the reporter states that apt. manager called CM & RG and told them the name of the woman in the apt Savanna visited is NOT DK. It would be easy enough to prove if DK ever knew Savanna or ever lived in that apt building so I don't think she's lying.

DK lives with her boyfriend in a different area of town and her boyfriend is NOT the guy who lives in apt Savanna visited. Another woman lives there and she's the person who asked Savanna to come to the apt.

[FlossyMay]

How many apartments are in that building? I was under the impression there was one per floor, meaning 3 apartments. Is this correct?

 

[LaLaw2000]

Yes. At 2:30 p.m. the brother knocked -- no answer -- followed by Savanna's father (between 2:30 p.m. and shortly before 3 p.m., when Savanna was to have driven her brother to his job).

The father DID get an answer at the door. The neighbor said that Savanna wasn't finished helping her yet.

So Savanna's mother drove the brother to his job, since Savannna was "tied up" (poor choice of words here, but maybe true).
When mother came back, Savanna was not home. Mom went upstairs and neighbor said "she left." Mom reported Savanna missing at 4:30 p.m.

BBM:

If Savanna was still there at the time her Dad went up, then why couldn't Savanna speak for herself that they weren't finished yet? Even if Savanna had been in another room changing out of the dress or whatever, she could still have called out to her Dad they were not finished yet. Why did the neighbor speak for her?

I really, really, really want to know what happened to Savanna and her unborn baby.

*Saying prayers for Savanna and baby.

I'm just joining this thread and want to thank you, georgiajean, for this summary! It's very helpful.

What a confusing and worrying case! :scared:

My questions at the moment are, does the app building have an elevator, or how did SLG get up to the third floor for the supposed dress fitting? I can't imagine it would be easy to climb 3 flights of stairs up and back down in her condition. Aren't 8 months pregnant women super careful about stairs?

Is it confirmed that Savanna ever went up to the woman's apartment? Maybe they intercepted her right after she left her own apartment, and later pretended she is in the third floor apartment to (successfully) buy time, although she never was?

Has the whole building been searched?

 

[JerseyGirl]

How many apartments are in that building? I was under the impression there was one per floor, meaning 3 apartments. Is this correct?

It looks like 3 on the left and 3 on the right of the front door = 6 apartments ( the 1st floor is the basement apartment, the windows are at ground level, above that is the 2nd floor and the top is the 3rd floor). The stairwell is in the middle, the windows above the front door is the stairwell continuing up to the 3rd floor. I can almost guarantee that there is no elevator.

Where the 7th apartment, I don't know, perhaps a smaller apartment in the back ?

Here is a photo of what I assume is the apartment complex:

The Greywind family is offering a $7,000 reward for information that leads to solving the case.

And, as another poster (Alice---, I think) pointed out, there may be an access to the attic in the ceiling of that 3rd floor apartment. However, I thought that was important before I heard about the noise in the bathtub reported by the neighbors living below the 3rd floor apartment.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Police said they used dogs and visited the neighbor's apartment three times, wouldn't the dogs have picked up Savanna's scent, whether it be in that apartment, attic, or crawl space?

The attic, if there is one, probably wasn't used. I feel that she was removed from that apartment in some way even before she was reported missing at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and before any searches took place.

All Just My Opinion, of course.

List of Facts as of 8-24-17

• Savanna, a member of the Spirit Lake tribe, was born in Belcourt, N.D. Her father is a Spirit Lake member, while her mother is a member of the Turtle Mountain tribe. Her family moved to Fargo when she was young, but returned to the Spirit Lake Reservation, near Devils Lake, when she was 9 years old. She met her boyfriend in middle school in Devils Lake, and they have been together for seven years. Like her, he is a Spirit Lake member. She graduated from Warwick Public School on the reservation and then attended Lake Region State College in Devils Lake, earning a certificate as a certified nursing assistant. She had moved to Fargo in January 2016 for her job as a certified nursing assistant for a senior citizens residence on 51st Street South, that was later purchased by Eventide Fargo. Other family members moved to the city a few months later. Her boyfriend was living and working in Minneapolis when she became pregnant, and moved to Fargo in anticipation of their daughter's birth. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/ne...appearance-pregnant-fargo-woman-still-mystery
