Has Relisha been seen recently with this man? Seems strange that when the missing alert was made his wife is found dead and he is on the run!! Did she know something??? MOO

IMO, she either knew, saw, or tried to stop something.

The lack of information along with the wrong information that has been given by the initial news articles has me fuming right now.
I don’t understand how journalists can get a story correct on the next Justin Beiber or Lindsey Lohan arrest, but can and will be so frivolous on a missing baby.
 
I know this. I'm local. What I don't understand is why mom would need to give an address-period. The police came to them. They know the address. Everyone has been reporting that this is the old hospital. There was a link post earlier to an article (which has now been updated) that said according to boyfriend/fiance/husband mom was hospitalized. I want to know if mom was actually hospitalized or if that was just thrown in. I don't think local journalists would have confused mom being hospitalized with her living at an address that has not been a hospital in over 10 years. :twocents:

ShebaShayne, I'm local, too, but I was talking about journalists when I said 'locals would know', not anyone here. :seeya:

I haven't seen a quote from family members/'stepfather' or from LE saying the mom was in the hospital, so I really do believe that the whole bit about the mom being in the hospital is something that got twisted around in the media. It really does happen often in cases where a bit of info is misinterpreted by a journalist, unfortunately.

I could be wrong about it, but that's just my interpretation of that report. :moo:

That's what I think also. I do wonder, though, if someone else is involved. Perhaps someone was with Tatum and witnesses thought it was Lyles? In that case, perhaps this other person killed Tatum's wife. I so in my heart want to believe this - that Tatum didn't kill his own wife - because then maybe there's a chance he's trying to keep Relisha alive. If he is capable of killing his wife, then... all bets are off. :(
 
Sounds predatory.
Contradictory statements? Uh oh. This information was not included in the article when I posted. Thanks!!!

Predatory , yes. The word 'grooming' comes to mind.
I just cannot imagine someone having your child for a couple of weeks ....just some random person.......for some long length of time. The most my kids have ever been ' with someone' else was a weekend , less than 48 hrs , and it was their grand parents at their grand parents' home. When did kids become like a dvd you just leave somewhere or loan out and don't worry about it, I 'll get it next time I'm in town ?
 
oh geez! I went to the local abc to see if there are any updates and I see there is ANOTHER amber alert for a little boy!

I will see if we have a thread started.

There is. The alert for HIM is what me led me to Relisha . :( Heartbreaking day !

So someone told mom that Relisha was on a school trip for several days so she did not file a missing report? Do I have that right? Has any one ever heard of a days' long school field trip involving 8 year olds? And one that does not require parental consent? I have to sign a consent for the school to take my 15 yr old to another school within the same district for an hour. WTF ! Mom is completely 'out of the program' ;) or she knows things she does not want to know and is in denial. This is a mess.
Man kills his wife to run off with an 8 yr old....... dear GOD find this baby !
 
I know it wasn't meant to, but the dvd comment made me snicker...

(My first thought would be someone who is mentally ill or addicted. But that's MOO)

This case has me very worried. I hope whoever has her will think about what they are doing and turn her in to LE. She's just a child.

Friends/ family have stated that mom told them Relisha was in Georgia on a field trip. She told school officials the child was with her grandmother. What's I'm getting is that mom made this up. According to family mom is more concerned with Tatum. I like that this family is not making excuses. When they felt mom was more concerned with Tatum they asked, "What about your child?" I don't think mom is in denial. I think she's straight up lying.

Ty for clearing it up . I just saw this thread and was trying to read it thoroughly but some bits I must have skimmed. If a parent does not care for their own child, then that child has a rough road ahead, PERIOD ! :banghead:

I tried to post what I could find this morning.

:please: nursebeeme, please don't give me a shot, but I had to read your post 4 times before I realized that abc was the TV STATION that you were looking for...I thought you went to the abc store, and I was thinking "are they open yet?" :blushing:

I think I need sleep... yup sleep... between the two missing VA kids, the missing plane, the constant crickets chirping in my ears, and the fibro pain causing insomnia, I'm done for. Maybe I need that abc store! :tantrum:

I'm sorry. It's just the callousness of a child and being left behind like some inanimate object that no one cares about . So it reminds me of a dvd you loan out but dont' really care if you don't get back because it only cost 8 bucks. :( Not a baby . I 'm very worried too. I'm sickened and terrified and thinking Relisha must go straight into extreme psyche help the second she is found safe and alive because I know she will be ! But she will likely never feel safe a day in her life because her mother didn't protect and this sick ******* **** o a ' man' has done x y and z.
 
With the mom lying, could she have - I hate got say it - sold he beautiful daughter to this man?
 
Same here. Reminds me so much of Shaniya Davis - both precious girls being given away by their moms. I'm so afraid for this child. :cry:

When I saw this Shaniya Davis was the first thing I thought of too. Praying it doesn't end up the same way. It sounds strange for Mom to hand her child over to a janitor before her husband. Something is not right here.

I really keep thinking of Shaniya Davis here... :cry:

That was just... the worst... that poor baby. Such a heartwrenching time on here for so many of us. I had to take a long break from WS after that.

And I'm so afraid something similar is going on here. Adding to it all: Relisha's mom still says she is not missing. :banghead:
 
There is an obit from 2012 that has both of these people listed as survivors to the deceased. The cemetery is in Brentwood Md.
There are other family names listed as well. Hoping LE knows the other family names and are checking to see if they would be of any help in finding this child.
**I snipped out names and the link**

That was Tatum's sister's obit. His name is there, as well the other guy that was initially thought to be with him.

I wonder if some money may have been exchanged OR possibly perp gave a good story of a ' better life' that he could give the child. Many of these perps are very convincing and that's why a lot of parents fall for the act. Horrifying !
