Who the heck leaves their baby with someone to babysit for “a few days”

 

[modesty blaise]

Those booking photos are rough these people are obviously into deep drug addiction. Was children services not informed about this little one?? My understanding is older children were removed...sigh

Not familar with this area at all. Does this mean she was seen in all three counties while with Miller? Any locals who can give perspective?

Google says the Economy Lodge Inn on Michigan St. in Plymouth ( last known sighting/area) is in Marshall County. IMO

Sounds like he was on tour with this poor baby. <modsnip>

"We know that Mercedes was last seen at the Economy Inn on Thursday evening," Plymouth Police Chief David Bacon said. "She was left in the care of Justin Miller."

Now the trio is talking to investigators who are desperately searching for the missing child, but police say their stories don't add up.

"We’re looking to establish a sequence. All their information does not corroborate each other," Bacon said.

*yeah, I call bs on all of them. Why would anyone hurt a baby? Man, I’m so frustrated with all these unfit parents. They make me ill! What is the solution? How can society protect these little ones from the getgo?

Ok I'm confused now. Police Chief says last seen Thursday at Econo Lodge. FBI says last seen Thursday at 12 30 AM in Mishawaka. Is that two separate last seen sightings?

Google says thats in St. Joseph County. I think there is some confusion because the 12:30am siting was on 8/14 (Saturday) so from Friday into Sat.

At least that's the reporting I have to go off of.

Wow, the reporting is all over the place on the timeline. The link I quoted said different. Your link I think is correct.

Sadly, I wouldn't know! I agree this is all over the place. IMO

Again ... a license is required to get married, you have to go to Court to get divorced ... you have to ‘qualify’ to adopt a pet ... but anybody can have a baby ... something is not right! This situation is both heartbreaking and disgusting! Where is this precious child? And btw ... where are the mugshots? Did I miss a link? Big prayers going up tonight for this angel baby. Moo

 

[MrsWatson]

Since she was seen in three (?) other places, here's hoping Justin left Mercedes with someone who did not have nefarious ideas, who just wants the baby. Wishful thinking, probably.

Mishawaka is a small town in northern Indiana near south bend- I wonder if he was high and that’s what by his story doesn’t match? Otherwise just tell them where he left the baby? I hope not in a hot car and then a dumpster- we’ve seen this play out before unfortunately

He claimed Knox is his hometown on FB.

Why would he make a new FB with just a baby's photo? We're talking meth addict brains so I don't know?

To prove he had her?

Parents owe him drugs or money?

Then the unthinkable because along with meth use comes assaults on children?

Did he even make that FB?
