And may Venus be located right away!

Could he have flown between Newport News and, say, Kalamazoo undetected?
So many questions about this guy that deserve answers. THIS ARTICLE flat-out says that police think that Doug abducted Venus. I think he did, too, but it'd be great to see someone dig a little bit and do more detailed reporting. |
Good questions, I will answer what I can, which may not be much.
I have read on different forums that Doug's parents live within 10 miles of Venus's parents, in Michigan (this has not been verified through a news source).
Dougs two vehicles were located in Newport News, Va, where he lives.
I don't think Venus had possession of the vehicles. I assumed since they were both located in Newport News that Doug had possession of them both.
Don't know who is providing Dougs alibi.
I also don't know if he could have flown to Michigan, I guess anything is possible. Since they claim to have a witness that saw a similar truck and tire tracks that are similar to Dougs, I'm guessing he drove.

Family desperate for answers in search for mom abducted in her PJ’s
For a third straight night the family of missing Michigan mother of two, Venus Stewart will join us live, pleading for her safe return. Stewart vanished in the early morning hours on April 26 after going out to the front yard to mail a letter, wearing only pajamas.
In front of the home visible signs of a struggle in the grass, the gravel, the driveway and footprints on a propane gas tank in the front yard. According to search warrants, partial footprints were found in the dirt leading away from the house. Also of note…a neighbor reports seeing a suspicious light grey colored pickup truck in a field near Stewart’s home around 7 a.m. the morning the mother of two vanishes.
The female neighbor says she saw a male crouched down behind the pickup, then five minutes later the truck was gone. Search warrants reveal crime scene techs found tire marks in that field and on a nearby gravel road. We also know when investigators finally located a pickup belonging to estranged husband Doug Stewart, they took photos of the tire’s tread pattern. After comparing them to the tire marks in the field near Venus Stewart’s home, a Michigan State Police crime lab determined the “general tread pattern” was in agreement but advised they needed Doug Stewart’s actual tires, not just photos, to make a 100% accurate match.
We also know there was a history of alleged domestic violence, threats by Doug Stewart and a couple attempts at filing for divorce that were later dropped. At this hour, still no word or sign of what happened to 32-year-old Venus Stewart. But what is clear is Stewart would never leave her 3-and 5-year-old little girls behind, little girls Venus’ family says want to know where their mommy is.

How far are the closest neighbors? There were signs of a struggle... no one heard her scream?

Here's a Google Earth view of where Venus was living with her parents at 55000 Driftwood Drive. (Note the red marker.) Nobody heard her scream.

Search of lake turns up no signs of missing mother
Comments 1 | Recommend 0

COLON, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Another search has turned up no sign of a mother missing from St. Joseph County.
32-year-old Venus Stewart disappeared at the end of April from her parent's home in Colon Township. Investigators believe someone kidnapped her.
On Wednesday, Michigan State Police searched Adams Lake in Colon. They had searched the same area on foot earlier, but returned Wednesday with dive teams and sonar.
Adams Lake is only about four miles outside of Colon, not an easy place to find, but it is in the same general area where Stewart disappeared.
Around the time of Stewart's disappearance, something unusual happened in the area.
“Some guy came out of the woods, out of nowhere,” said Leana Powell, “came up behind me and asked, 'do you know where I am?'”
Powell reported that man to police.
Officials will neither confirm or deny whether that man was Venus' estranged husband, Douglas Stewart. Authorities have spoken to him in Virginia and say his alibi appears to check out

It is too bad that the sight of a man crouched down beside?/next to/inside of? truck did not alarm neighbor enough to call police. But I guess neighbor may be lucky he/she did not approach, who knows what might have happened.
I have such bad feelings about the women who have gone missing in the past month or so...Julie Gonzales in TX, Venus, Sunday in GA, Rachael Anderson and Phoung Lee. W/ Julie, Rachael and Venus, it seems domestic issues may have come back to haunt. With Sunday and Phoung-who knows. I wish all of the cases would get airtime and attention, there are so many I know it is not possible.

Sounding more and more like a recovery than a rescue. I sure hope I am wrong here. I would think that there would be some evidence in his truck if it was used.

SO, where were they 'supposed to be'?

I wonder if that is a mistake. From what I have read, the vehicles were registered to the husband and would be in VA.

Or maybe he had claimed they were "out of state," where his alibi was, which would be his excuse for not turning them over sooner?
Finally dribs and drabs of info are coming out. I'm just praying they find her and the family can have some resolution. They must be in agony.

Any idea the distance to the nearest homes? No one inside her house heard anything, I assume...

NG: MSP sent dive teams into the lake using side-scan sonar. Reporter is saying the lake is about a mile from the house but would take about 20 min. to get there using access roads. Also showing home video just obtained of Venus.

NG: Venus' mother on the show again tonight. She's saying the children want to know where their mother is. Mother is distraught; saying "I don't know what's going to happen, I don't know what I'm going to do".

Yes, I could have sworn I heard that they have the girls in hiding. This is heartbreaking.

NG: talking to local reporter about tire tracks found in the field near the family home; reporter assumes molds have been taken by LE and sent to VA to determine if they matched. NG reporter saying they'd taken pictures, but went to VA for the actual tires to match.
Venus' mother is on again. NG wants to know what LE has been telling her. She says they haven't told her a lot, probably to protect their case. She doesn't understand a lot of things; including why ex-husband won't talk to LE but is talking to media.

Yes, there was a report today that said investigators have to go through the husbands attorney, if they want information.

Why am I not surprised. I just hope he didn't find a new set of tires for the truck since Venus was abducted.

NG: replaying Venus' father's statement how he discovered she was missing.
Caller who is a court reporter questions why there can't be more done to protect those who are in danger re: restraining orders issued, for cases you can tell are serious cases.

If it is the husband, I hope investigators take him on a one way flight back to Michigan real soon, in handcuffs and chains.
