The state has alleged that a Scottsdale woman charged in the disappearance of Baby Gabriel Johnson discussed adopting his mother as a way to gain custody of the child, according to a defense motion.
The state says Tammi Smith, 38, who wanted to adopt Gabriel, and Elizabeth Johnson, 24, of Tempe, the baby's mother, also discussed seeking a change of venue to Tennessee in the custody case.
In addition, the state alleges, the two talked about using child-support payments to pressure the baby's father, Logan McQueary, into surrendering his rights, according to the motion.
