GUILTY OH - Elaina Steinfurth, 17 months, Toledo, 2 Jun 2013 - #1

[palaminodee]

yes, all I can say after reading all the reports and watching the videos, someone or a group in one of these families are lying.
No one is upset, crying etc...lots of blame and total lack of facts and information.
The stories do not make any sense.
Dysfunctional situation.
Sad to say; just like many of the other still missing infants and toddlers on these pages.

Ugh. This makes me feel sick. Poor little darling girl. I hope she is safe, but unfortunately I don't think that is the case.

Looks like an Amber Alert has been issued for Elaina?

Two days later and with no suspect or vehicle?
That's the most important bits of info in an AA, right?

I hate to think this but the Maumee River is around 5 miles from the home...

this case also reminds me of sweet baby girl aliayah lunsford. i hope and pray it has a happier outcome!

Me too! I really hope Mom has her hid (and some things that she reportedly said makes me think that is possible) but I believe the bf's mom would have told by now. She doesn't seem fond of Angela and what better way to get her out of your son's life than send her to jail?

FBI agents and police blanketed the area near the mother's Federal Street home. They've walked the neighborhoods, going as far as Main Street, several blocks from where the baby disappeared, and even checking holes in abandoned homes.

How odd. We have followed case with far more info available and that better fit the criteria for issuing an AA but it still wasn't used, so why now? I wonder if LE has good reason to believe the baby has been hidden with someone traveling outside the area ... Wishful thinking?

some where up there^ it mentioned the shorts and medicine were in house

what medicine and for what???

Good question. An accidental overdose perhaps? Hence the sleeping?

One other thing struck me as odd. In this article it says

"She told me she was staying at her father's house," Terry explained, but that wasn't the case. "I went to pick them up Sunday…they told me she was back over [at Julie King's house], where she promised me they weren't going to be."

bbm - Mom promised him they were not going to be at JK's house. Why? Because something happened to the girls there in the past? Was this part of why he wanted custody for both the girls? And that's why mom was crying and saying she will never see her again if she would give her to her father?

What happened in the past in that house, either with the bf or the bf's mother?

I have a very bad feeling about this case. Who could have kidnapped her with 3 adults and two other children around and noone noticing? That's just pure nonsense.

The fact that police is now searching in more focussed areas tells me they suspect she is no longer alive. Maybe someone already talked. Poor girl

Or does bf's mother have a live in or spouse ?

So the bf 'ran out the back' when the father arrived? Could he have had the baby with him when he ran out the back door?

 

[PlainJaneDoe]

can someone PLEASE show me a picture of this little girl SMILING!? im not finding any and it's making me very sad!

Like Aliayah?

Kimberly Donahoo, lives a few doors down from the house where the little girl was last seen. "The FBI agents came and talked to me and they asked to search my house and they searched from the top the basement and in my back yard," Ms. Donahoo said.

Family friend Leon Oldham led a group of 30 relatives and friends in a prayer. "It's very hectic, we are starting to get drained out as this is the third day now, we just want the baby to come back and we want this all to be over with," Mr. Oldham said.

These cases just kill me. It's like "they" know that if you hide the body well enough you won't get in trouble. How do these people go on living? How does the guilt not eat them alive? How do they go an entire day without hearing the beautiful sound of their child's laughter? How do they live without the baby cuddles, hugs and kisses? So.much.evil.

the way that i see it is this all went down so quickly and kind of chaotically that i can't see the BF and mom having enough time to "work out a plan/story" to give LE. unless they somehow talked about it earlier that day or night before. i really hope LE sees some inconsistencies and is able to sort out the truth, or put pieces together to come up with the REAL story. as many times as they've questioned people (taking mom and BF multiple times to be questioned), i have a feeling they've already got a storyline started. i have a sinking feeling in my stomach that this girl is NOT ok... but i don't want to give up hope. the mommy in me wants to believe that this little girl is being cared for by someone else and they're just keeping her until the (suspected, IMO) brusing goes away, or she recovers from whatever was wrong with her. SOMETHING tells me that something was wrong with her and that she was alive when TJ went to pick her up. if the mom was worried about never seeing her again, why would she guarantee that she'd never see her again by ending her life? i hope and pray that that didn't happen. the only thing i can think of is that if the baby seemed to be clinging to life and they thought she was probably going to die anyway. BUT - if that's the case.. step up and take her to the hospital!

hmm speaking of which.. could a family member have taken the baby to the hospital under a different name to get her taken care of??

i'm going to go back and watch videos of the mom without sound, just to see what her actions look like once the news crews were there to observe & record.

 

[PMLsmom]

Sorry, my get from the interviews is that Elaina was seen at 9:30 (supposedly) by BF mother (alive??) at 9:30 June 1st...no one else has said she has been seen after that <Mod Snip>
When was the last sighting PRIOR to that? IMO - Something happened the night of the 1st. That gave someone MANY hours to do something/get rid of stuff/etc....

 

[mamacita]

i also wonder if mom or the BF have cell phones and what the history on them can tell us, if anything. looks like angela's fb profile pic was taken with a cell phone (it's in the pic), the pic was posted april 22nd.

 

[mamacita]

wait a second.. i was just thinking.. when she was crying inside the house and said she didn't want to give her to "him" or she'd never see her again... could she have been talking about not wanting to give the (possibly lifeless) baby to the boyfriend to take somewhere to dispose of her?? perhaps she was telling the BFs mom that she didn't want to hand the baby over to the BF?? and maybe the plan was do take her somewhere the mom wouldn't be able to see her again? oh man. i need to go back and read up on it again to see if my idea COULD be possible.

also - if this is a possibility, why the heck wouldn't the mom have been more upset if she had just seen her baby girl for the last time?!

 

[katydid23]

I have an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach about this one. :cry:
