GUILTY WI - Kayden Powell, 4 days, Beloit, 6 Feb 2014

[~n/t~]

Just wow. Faking pregnancy is a shocker. How can you hide that from your husband? :waitasec:

 

[Bayou Mistress]

I am waiting to hear that Brianna and Bruce have arrived and held a healthy Kayden in their arms. I think then I can breathe a sign of relief and put my faith in the US District Court in Madison WI to dispense earthly justice.

I think KS placed Kayden in the tote with the intention of returning for him after speaking with the officer. But due to the warrant she was taken into custody.

The part that I think is missing from the complaint is that someone must of contacted KS by phone prior to KS calling BM's grandmother. Likely BM made a call to KS asking if she had taken Kayden. Why would KS call BM's grandmother that early in the morning out of the blue?

At 4:54 KS called BM's grandmother and was instructed by the officer present to pull over so LE could locate her.

Then KS must of called LE back at 5:21 after placing Kayden in the tote at the BP station and said she was at the K&G station. When an officer was pulling into the station and she was instructed to "flag down" the officer which she did.

That gave KS 25 minutes to hide the baby from the time she was initially talked to when she called grama's home and when she contacted LE telling them she was at the K&G station.


I don't agree with the way this was handled. Obviously the officer asking KS to pull over so she could be located by LE caused KS to hide Kayden. I think the officer should have asked if KS had the baby, when she said no that should have been the end of the conversation. I'm assuming this was just a patrol officer and not a detective but it should have been assumed that Kayden was with KS and asking her at will to contact LE knowing she possibly had Kayden in her possession would have caused her to dispose of the baby.

KS's location should have been pin pointed by pinging her cell phone so her movements could have been tracked westward along I-80. LE could have then set up ahead of KS and conducted a traffic stop or surveilled her in an unmarked vehicle until she pulled over at a gas station where contact could have been made and Kayden would have been found in the car unharmed.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who must of taken this baby. I was 99.9% sure KS would be implicated in his disappearance right from the start. I'm sure most of you that followed the case thought the same.

From the criminal complaint, "Following the recovery of KP, Smith was interviewed again at the Cedar
County Jail. Smith admitted that she took KP from her sister's home in Wisconsin, and later
put him behind the BP gas station in West Branch, Iowa. Smith provided law enforcement
with a hand drawn map of where the baby was found."

From this.....I take it that she did not even admit to anything or tell LE where he was until after LE found the boy.

Like maybe after they found the boy, they knew she was guilty and then went to interview her again and applied all kinds of pressure on her to get her to confess, and only then did she finally give in and admitted things and even drew a map. LE needed that confession so they can prosecute her, but they may have found the boy on their own right before that last interview. I dont think they had any map before he was found.

Thats my take on how I read this.

Hopefully this horrible experience will mend some of the family issues. Mom daughter and bf.

Do you have a link for the "issues"?

Do you have a link for the "issues"?

There isn't one link in particular besides the twitter and facebook accounts. I find it hard to tell if some of the difficulty was normal teen growing up or something a little more difficult. Could be a little of both really. I do hope that this scare affords Kayden's entire family an opportunity to heal and come together.

You can read some of the earlier posts from yesterday and there was discussion about some things. The main thing I recall is the Gram was upset with the Mom over some things and they quarrelled at times.

Brianna's mom isn't too fond of baby's daddy. She didn't want him over at the house. She was interviewed but can't find the link now. It was earlier in the thread.

Maybe the husband is fake too.

Regarding not seeing comments on FB about her being pregnant, maybe LE could see things on FB that we could not due to privacy settings.

First person to post a picture of Baby Kayden back in his mommy's arms gets a big hug from me!

Hmm hadn't thought of that. She posted a wedding pic on fb and "friends" were congratulating her. :dunno:

Im 100% convinced now that the evil woman did not draw that map or tell LE where the boy was until AFTER the police chief found the boy. The devil lady would have let that boy die to try to stay out of her own trouble. I hope she ends up with life imprison. It is so upsetting.

Refer to link below and Post 685 too.

Just read that this beautiful baby Kayden has been found safe and alive!!

To me, this is a MIRACLE considering the freezing weather and going without nourishment!
God had this little guy in his protective arms.

There are no words strong enough for a person who would leave an infant outside in this weather!! Now to go back and catch up, so happy for these parents and family.
