Tempe police said Johnson sent McQueary the threatening messages about their son before Dec. 26.
However, on Dec. 27, Johnson called and text messaged McQueary again and told him that she had killed the child, according to the court document and police.
But McQueary said he also was contacted by a couple interested in adopting Gabriel and was told if he wanted his son to have a safe home, he would sign adoption papers.
McQueary said he did not sign any papers, and police said investigators questioned the couple and currently do not plan to charge them.
The couple, Tammi and Jack Smith, said they had been working with Johnson and McQueary for the last seven months about adopting the child but would not reveal the details surrounding the adoption.
Both of them supported the adoption, but for some reason, Logan got cold feet at the last minute, Tammi Smith said.
Smith also said she spoke with Johnson, who called her from the jail on Tuesday, but she did not disclose the whereabouts of Gabriel.
McQueary also said Tuesday that he never spoke to the Smiths until Dec. 19, when he found out about them through a Child Protective Services report when Johnson was trying to file a complaint of abandonment, claiming McQueary had not seen the child for 30 days.
Johnson had apparently been talking to the Smiths about adopting Gabriel after they met her on a plane while she was coming back from Boston, according to McQueary.
I never talked to them about any adoption, McQueary said. I had no clue. I told them there was no way in hell Im giving up my son for adoption. I wanted my son. She was pretty secretive about it.http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/149100
