VA VA - Arieanna Day, 3 months, Roanoke, 12 September 2018 *Charges dropped*

[imstilla.grandma]

Where is she? I hope she is sitting on the moon with her little feet swaying back and forth and she’s gazing at the stars and planets.

We’re flooding again, not sure how this will help or hinder finding Arieanna. Still nothing more on LE searches and LE still doesn’t want public searches.

'He took her'; Family of Arieanna Day still waiting for answers on her disappearance

Sophia Bryant, Arieanna's grandmother, says investigators aren't sharing much information on leads with her at this point.

"He took her," Bryant said. "He played a part of it. He didn't want her. he didn't want to pay child support. He made threats. So he had every motive to take that baby."

Bryant said LE asked Arieanna's mom to take a polygraph. No word on the results. LE says they plan to release more information later in the week.

I'm confused; grandmother said she believes Terry took Arieanna but then she says she doesn't really know. She may be thinking that Terry's cousin may have done it but that would mean he was also at the house and that's not what has been reported.

Maybe she's just saying there's not enough conclusive evidence right now. Hopefully LE will be true to their word and release more info in the next day or so.

The quote of the grandmother saying BBM "We suspect who may have took the baby, but we really don't know" is what the grandmother said on Sept 12...which is the day after Arieanna was taken. Just clarifying it is not what the grandmother is currently saying. The date of that sentence is directly below the twitter statement you posted. Just clarifying.

Thanks for clarifying Neese68! Yes, my bad I should have paid more attention to the date. Now I remember her statement and also that LE was reported to be following a lead in Blacksburg which we know led to the arrest of Terry.

Just reiterating- Roanoke got slammed by Matthew yesterday. Horrible flooding, some places saw the worst it's been in decades. This weekend the weather will be beautiful though. Hopefully searches will take place?

 

[Neese68]

So hurricane Michael hit the Florida Pan Handle and us here in Virginia really hard. We had flooding here that we haven't seen since 1985. There were five or more lives lost. I don't know if the flooding could hurt or possibly help with finding little baby Arieanna but I pray she is found and soon so her so called dad can rot in prison.

Father of missing Roanoke baby appeals bond denial, granted $50k bond

Andrew Terry, who is charged with illegal disposal of a body in connection with a missing Roanoke baby, was approved bond by a judge Tuesday.

He was initially denied bond on October 4, however, he appealed that ruling.

Judge Robert M.D. Turk heard the appeal on Tuesday, October 16 at 1 p.m.

The judge ultimately granted Terry a $50,000 secure bond.

Father of missing Roanoke baby appeals bond denial, granted $50k bond

Why???? Why would the judge initially deny bond then less than two weeks later grant $50k bond? Because no body has been found??

I think Terry's attorney probably argued a couple of points; that in other similar cases - and I mean in terms of the level of the felony, not the specific charge - people were given bond; and like you say, Arieanna's body hasn't been found, i.e. a lack of evidence that she's even deceased.

I doubt Terry's going anywhere and I bet LE will be keeping a close eye on his movements.

 

[MsMarple]

A little more info:
The bond stipulations are the following:

• Turn in his passport
• Can't leave the Commonwealth of Virginia
• Has a curfew 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
• He is not to interfere with the current investigation

Missing baby's dad granted bond on illegal disposal of a body charge
As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, Terry had not bonded out of Western Virginia Regional Jail. Next hearing is October 25.

Police investigation underway after body found in Roanoke River

Police investigation underway after body found in Roanoke River

From this link:
A swift water crew, police and fire crews are working by Wiley Drive, which is close to the Green Goat Restaurant and the River House apartments. (BBM)

A quick Google Maps search shows the area of the river the body was found is about 2 miles south of Hanover Ave, where she was reported missing from... Don't know if the body is that of a baby, child, adult, male/female, etc. yet though.

I would love to hope. But the reality is, if she was placed in a natural setting, the likelihood of her tiny body being found is next to nothing. Sad.

This is in the same county as I live in. So sad. I was confused as it was said that the forensic team was at the train tracks and the road was shutdown. I hope he comes forward and tells where he had dumped her.
