This is Lisa's son who was found unharmed. Such a sad case.

Lisa was pregnant when she dissapeared. That itself is a red flag here. Wonder if it's the same father as her 1 year old or if she had another man in her life now. Perhaps her ex (assumed)harmed the kid cause it's his son but didn't want her to have a baby with another man, or he just found out it wasn't his and he snapped...Something like that I think.

I always thought my dad had something to do with it. It’s funny once I open the investigation up again the police never wanted to question my dad. And then when I asked him about her he like he don’t remember lol. I think he does have more information/details that he really wants to say. I kind of just leave it alone and accept him for who he is because if he goes to jail or something bad happens to him THEN I have nobody really. I don’t see him often but we have a good long distance relationship. My foster mother found him when I was in high school, I was 17 when I first met him. I don’t know my foster mother anymore either LOL.

Were you the little boy found in the alley? Why do you think you father was involved?

 

[KaylaraOwl]

I was thinking about Lisa today. Her Namus profile lists 12 unidentified persons exclusions as of today, 2/25/2020.

 

[Aurora90]

I hope Darnell is doing well, and I'm surprised that the police weren't interested in speaking with the father.

Maybe she be found soon.
