The stepfather said a babysitter had dropped off King. "She gets a text saying, 'Did you get the baby? She dropped him off at 33rd and Diamond.' That's the first time we heard of this babysitter. I don't know who this woman is," Kimberly Hill said. "Somebody's not telling us the truth because the babysitter is saying she returned the child to the mother, Amber Hill. The mother's saying that she did not," said Captain Mark Burgmann. The babysitter has been providing child are for the past 2 years. Stepfather is father to Amber Hill's older daughter (7 years old).
