So Jaybyn Mack can be bought. Wanted to turn his father in for $5000 but got arrested instead. Maybe put the pressure on him as to what he knows and give him a deal. JMMO

So Mack's son Jaybyn helped out Mack when he was on the run, got arrested for that, had to post $5,000 for bail and then asked for the $5,000 reward for finding Mack. And I thought I had an unproductive week.

I’m curious why the family decided to search the North Park area? Meaning, were they given a tip or a detail that led them to start searching there immediately?

They don't explain their reasoning. Sounds pretty random - just an area that hasn't been searched yet. MOO

 

[Bogyo13]

This sounds bad, where is she?

Speculation: Was it premeditated if* he only wanted her to get the things? What is the motive? Jealousy?
Is his ex wife also going to be charged?

 

[BrittanynChris]

OMG, Melinda became a grandmother again today (from the video). I pray she gets to meet that baby but this isn't looking good at all. MOO

Melinda didn't become a grandmother - her sister Lisa Davis did! Melinda doesn't have grandchildren

Friday, Barnes led a search party along with Davis's best friend, Paula Littlefield, that took them to Alexandria Mack's home on Riggle Road in Bellville. News 5 saw two Richland County Sheriff's Office cruisers near the property. They did not say why they were there.

Barnes said now that Mack has been arrested and Davis has not been found, the nature of their searches has changed, but they will never stop searching for her.

“With him being apprehended now we're doing recon. Now we're trying to find a body or a location that this person may be at," Barnes said. "We just feel like there's nothing that can ever be enough until she comes home."

In a message to News 5, Melinda's sister, Lisa Davis, said that she is busy praying that Mack gives up information as to where her sister is and that she is still alive.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.

I wonder if that's a bad sign or simply because they don't want to be seen potentially interfering with a police investigation?

I wonder if that's a bad sign or simply because they don't want to be seen potentially interfering with a police investigation?

I also wondered if the family is just really emotional and overwhelmed right now (and understandably so) and they’ve made it private to curve so many posts & comments.

Oh, that makes much more sense, thank you for clarifying and I apologize for misunderstanding what was said. Welcome to Websleuths! MOO

Not seeing any new updates...

 

[BrittanynChris]

There really isn't any new updates. Mack still isn't talking. But we have search teams out daily searching different areas. We need to find her car!

You're welcome! I can see where it can be easily confused ❤
