Found Deceased TN - Evelyn Boswell, 15 months, Sullivan County, 26 DEC 2019 *Arrests*

I personally would rather we not discuss any particular ethnic groups here, because it does open up a can of worms with new posters who may not yet understand the TOS here, and then it does turn into something ugly, imo.

But that's just me. I usually tend to opt for not responding to any of it, out of an abundance of caution.

Is it possible that she actually did tell LE the truth as she sees it, and LE said what they did about her giving conflicting information to “throw off” the suspicion so AB and WM wouldn’t run further and faster? It was very shortly after that they were arrested.

That doesn’t seem like something LE would do - make the nation specifically skeptical about an innocent person in order to fool others to come forward.

In this case I’m very hopeful that the baby is alive. But if found she’s going into the system. That I’m confident about. Clearly there are CPS hearings about this case. You can’t just not report a baby missing for two months.
The other possibility that was in my mind is the dreaded “mama’s new man” scenario. In which a child is hurt or killed by an unrelated partner of a parent. But I don’t know enough about any sort of possible situation here to say. It seems there’s conflicting or no information about that?

BBM ; HW has reported in a national interview that he's never met Evelyn. However, there is evidence out there that many of the things he said in that interview weren't entirely truthful. So it's hard to say at this point which parts were true in his interview and which were not.

I've only read one page here so sorry if I'm being redundant. I think Evelyn was taken by a relative in some kind of temporary arrangement so that Megan could focus on school or whatever. A pushy female relative who persuaded her it was for the best maybe. I think the baby is safe and that's why Megan didnt report but this person has kept her longer than agreed or decided to keep her permanently. I think the child is safe but whoever has her feels entitled to keep her because they feel they are better equipped than Megan (and Megan probably agrees.) IME this kind of thing happens a lot and normally doesnt involve the police but if someone did want to involve the police this is how it would unfold and be viewed by the public. My personal experiences are making me biased but this is more or less what I think and hope has happened.

The boyfriend I'm most concerned about is the grandmother's boyfriend. It's the non-biological boyfriends who move into the household and end up harming the children.

What was he untruthful about?

Oh no worries at all! I’m just clarifying that. My post could’ve been read that way for sure. I don’t know what to make of mom but due to a possible dynamic at play here I’m open to a very hopeful possibility in this case.

We had a case here some time ago of a young girl disappearing. She was seen on video running toward and getting into a car. But it was sort of reluctantly reported as an abduction. I had my suspicions about the case and what was going on. I believed she would be located and the case would quietly disappear. And that’s exactly what happened.

In this case I’m very hopeful that the baby is alive. But if found she’s going into the system. That I’m confident about. Clearly there are CPS hearings about this case. You can’t just not report a baby missing for two months.

The other possibility that was in my mind is the dreaded “mama’s new man” scenario. In which a child is hurt or killed by an unrelated partner of a parent. But I don’t know enough about any sort of possible situation here to say. It seems there’s conflicting or no information about that?

I agree she’s very possibly alive. My gut check is that EB was sold. Maybe for drugs or quick $$. Maybe to a loving family. Maybe for trafficking. We live a sick world I’m afraid. ON the other hand, she could be with friends or family. Other posters are correct in statements that some subcultures are not going to include police or government officials. I saw this with my cousin’s baby mama while she lived in that area. When the child came to live with her daddy (a worthless human), she spent most of her time with my family. She had PLENTY to say about police..none of it positive. MOO

Yes and I’m not. I’m just giving hypotheticals that could explain a bizarre case and give it a different dimension. Especially when it comes to where the child can be and with whom.

Depending on the situation LE could have specific areas to search and may need inside information to be able to do so. But that could be very hard to get from certain groups. I don’t mind not discussing those hypotheticals here if it’s going to be misunderstood or used to repeat silly stereotypes but they open up a whole bunch of possibilities that can lead to a very different LE approach than usual. Where to look. With whom. How to find. How to cope with tip offs. How to interview. Who to use to interview. Etc.

I don't believe that anyone is hiding this child. Let's assume for a moment that there were children of this family already taken away by social services (hypothetical), and let's assume that some family members might be concerned that Evelyn might be taken away for the same reason. The sheer logistics of how many people would have to be complicit in the hiding of a child, during a police investigation , and under the very real threat of their own arrest for being complicit in the hiding of a child, just leads me to believe this isn't a logical theory. That's just my opinion, of course, but I will say that I have been involved in many many cases of missing children where the hiding of a child as been put forth as a theory, and never ONCE have I ever seen that theory born out.

Again, JMO.

I’m with you. I was holding out hope last night until AB was arrested and Evelyn was still missing. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong though.

 

[Meloni88]

Jeez I didnt know anyone had been arrested, I'm so behind Is Angela Boswell Megan's mother or aunt or something?

Thanks, it didn't say in any of the reports I just read

 

[squareandrabbet]

I wasn't making any allusions.

The primary allusion I would have made, if any, would be that if these similarly surnamed people are part of the same family, they may be used to cameras and thus more media-savvy than the average bear.

I find it hard to believe that things have come to a pass where you can't even mention someone's nationality as a fact, without having it interpreted as a slur. I mean, really.

My concern is that this case may involve a black market adoption. It reminds me a lot of Sonya McCaul and that one took eight years and two state courts to untangle.

I think understanding possible culture of certain groups and their heritage is important in these cases and I agree with you that it may be relevant here. I'm also Romani (Hi!! )

It's a careful line because so much is misunderstood and used to perpetuate harmful stereotype. From my standpoint, I would hope that posters could be cautious and differentiate culture vs stereotype. If you don't know, ask questions vs assume based on bad media.

Things like a frequent distrust of authority and CPS/DCF (commonly born out of being the victims of discrimination and profiling) are important to consider but it shouldn't be put forth as "These people hide babies!" which is what some have been doing.
Also, if we could refrain from using ethnic slurs that would be great too.

I’m with you totally. I’ve never believed the hidden child theory and it doesn’t usually make sense. Unless you consider certain hypotheticals. Then it could be very easy to accomplish and even not uncommon.

Anything is possible. But if you’d seen the pic of the home that MB posted on SM that she & bf (Hunter) built, you’d probably dismiss any financial concerns you had. I’m not saying that’s actually their home, I have no idea, but that’s what’s being claimed. It’s a 2 story new build that would sell for $150k and that’s being modest on the value.

Are you sure it is the correct MB?
