Prayers for little Gabriel  ::MonkeyAngel::  I wonder where Police are searching for him?  I pray they are looking for a live child  ::MonkeyAngel::

I don't know what to think about Elizabeth's missing car.   

Looking for a needle in a hay stack.  I pray for Gabriel but fear this is not going to end well.

She stayed at HomeGate studio and suites in San Antonio off of I10 and then another Home Gate Studio and Suites on San Gabriel Ave.

She was trying to adopt the baby out.

Geraldo did a small piece on Gabriel last night.  The police from San Antonio said that they know she was trying to give away, adopt out and sell Gabriel when she was there.  They are not sure if she succeeded. 

Wow, I sure hope that and he is still alive, surely if this is what happened, someone will see a person/couple with Gabriel and call the police.

Thank you for the update Northern Rose.  I'm continuing to pray for Gabriel's safety and hope he will be found alive and well soon.  ::MonkeyAngel::

I believe this to be the custody case

Thank-you. I may have missed this, does the father want to raise Gabriel, and Elizabeth will do what ever it takes that this isn't going to happen?

More pictures of Gabriel

What an adorable little boy ::MonkeyAngel::

When I was going through the Arizona court records I came across a paternity and child support case and discounted it as not being the correct Elizabeth Johnson as she would have had to been 12 when she had the child.  I am wondering if it is the same Elizabeth as Gabriel's now after seeing the pictures with the older girl in them.   ::MonkeyEek::

There is little being said about what the custody issue is all about other than this woman yapping on the Fox clip.  She has skin in the game though as she wanted to adopt Gabriel so who knows how slanted her view on things are right now.

He is a cutie.  Praying he is safe.   ::MonkeyAngel::

I wondered who the older child in the above pics was, I just figured some cousin or family friend.

On her myspace look at the picture for Tammifay.  It looks to be the same little red headed girl as the one in the pictures with Gabriel.

One of the comments on her Myspace was left by a guy that is from Camp Pendleton, Chandler, and Rahway, Arizona ,United States .

Is there not a big base in San Antonio?

Hello, I am Logans cousin, and it would be so awsome if anyone had any information regarding the case of his missing Son, Gabriel. Elizabeth, the boys Mother, was arrested in Florida, but Gabe was not with her. It is believed that Elizabeth wanted to give Gabe up for adoption to a lady in Texas. My cousin has turned his life around, and Gabe means everything to him. Please, if anyone has any information, Please contact the Tempe Police.. Thank You

Tempe police ask for help to locate infant missing 5 days (with video)

TEMPE, AZ -- Police are asking for the public's help to locate a Tempe infant missing for nearly a week.

Tempe police spokesperson Molly Enright said the boy's 23-year-old mother, Elizabeth Johnson, was being sought in connection with a custodial interference case, and was located in Florida Tuesday.

"A lot of times, as you see a case develop, you can pretty much put your finger on the reason, the motive because you've seen it before, but in this case we don't know what's going on," said Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal. "It's a very unique case."

Carbajal said Johnson left Arizona with her 8-month-old son Gabriel on December 18.

"Everybody knew where she was and that was OK," Carbajal said. "She just wanted to get away for a while and then these series of events happened where it was a concern for the father that she would not show up for a hearing. His fears were confirmed."

Gabriel's father was awarded sole custody of him when Elizabeth did not show up in court on Monday, December 28.

Police say Gabriel was last seen with his mother at a park near Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas on December 26. 

On Tuesday, December 29, Johnson was found and arrested at a Youth Hostel in Miami Beach, Florida.  Gabriel was not with her and detectives said she refuses to tell them where he is.

"She was confronted, arrested and interviewed exhaustively about the whereabouts of the child," said Wayne Jones, with Miami Beach Police.

"All we know at this point is Gabriel can be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami Beach," Tempe police say.

Carbajal confirmed Johnson has reportedly made threats to harm Gabriel, but says there is no evidence yet that the threats were carried out.
 
"Is she saying these things to hurt the father or would she actually hurt her own baby?" he said. "We don't know yet. We're hoping the baby is in good condition and will be returned safely."

Police are still looking for the vehicle Johnson was driving -- a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88, with Arizona license plate AGZ4214.

Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Gabriel Johnson is urged to contact the Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).

Gabriel's first picture with Sanata this year.

It does look like her. I pray this is not a Casey Anthony crime going on here, Elizabeth appears to have a smirk to her, and the comment on her Myspace  ::MonkeyEek:: I'm not sure what to think, usually I get some sort of feelings, but not with this, so that is why I'm hoping she left the little one with someone she knows, but as time goes on....

Youth Hostile in Miami Beach where Elizabeth was arrested

Police say Gabriel was last seen with his mother at a park near Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas on December 26.  Elizabeth unofficially checked out of the Hotel on Dec 27.  My gut is telling me whatever happened to Gabriel happened at that park by Six Flags.  Whether she met up with someone there to give Gabriel to or something else.

That could very well be, she unofficially checked out of the hotel, just left sooner then she was suppose to?

Since she is in Jail in Florida maybe another inmate will give her Baez's number.   ::MonkeyConfused::

They don't say.  I am thinking when room service came to do their thing they found her gone.  All any of the articles state is that she did not check out with the front desk.

From her myspace she had friends/ties  in Boston
She lived in Tempe AZ
She took Gabriel to San Antonio TX
She was arrested in Miami , FL

Four states now that could be involved and many miles in between

She checked out of the hotel in San Antonio on Dec 27, she was arrested in Miami FL on Dec 30.  Her car could be anywhere in between.  I am thinking she ditched it in Florida though.

1,382 mi – about 21 hours 27 mins

Baby missing after mom spends Christmas in S.A.

The FBI is now  searching for missing 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson.

His mother, Elizabeth Johnson, 23, was caught Wednesday in Miami after spending Christmas in San Antonio.

According to police, Johnson left Arizona with her son, but, she does not have custodial rights to him.

In the past, Johnson made threats to harm the baby. She lost custodial rights on December 28, 2009, when she failed to appear at a custody hearing .

So far, there have been no signs of  Baby Gabriel since December 26. He was not with Johnson when she was arrested, and she refuses to say what she did with him.

Johnson, who has a criminal record that does not include violence, will not cooperate with investigators,  and neither will her family members, even though Johnson was facing a loss of custody. Her desperate moves have baffled authorities.

Officers have not found Johnson's car, a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88 with Arizona plates AGZ4214.

Anyone who has information regarding the whereabouts of little Gabriel Johnson is asked to contact the FBI Hotline at 210-225-6741.

My sister happens to know these people as she lives where they used to live. The news people were there today for this story. About 2 months ago, the woman, Liz was screaming in her apt. It sounded as if she was in an argument with the baby's Father. The cops were called due to breaking glass and all the screaming. When police arrived, it was determined she was in the apt with only her son there. The Father came home from work to this. This woman is bi-polar and has a tendency of not taking her medication. This is the reason why he got custody of his son. She is not nor was not a battered woman in this case. Her son was not abused. The problem is, she had a man who loved her and his son and was trying to help her the best he could. The other problem is, he is now without his son and very distraught as to his whereabouts. She is not providing any information to the police about where Gabriel is. Just that she killed him. I am only hoping she is having a manic moment and has not harmed Gabriel.

That doesn't sound good at all. And this Tammifay woman, WTH.

Still hoping for a good outcome for baby Gabriel.   ::MonkeyAngel::

Mother arrested, but Tempe baby still missing

Police fear 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson could be dead, sold or simply given away to a stranger after his mother, who had threatened to harm him, was arrested in Miami Beach, Fla., without her son.

Elizabeth Johnson was arrested in Florida on a custodial interference warrant and is awaiting extradition. She invoked her right to a lawyer and has not given detectives any information on her son's whereabouts, said Sgt. Steve Carbajal, a Tempe police spokesman.

Johnson made threats to the boy's father that she might hurt or kill the boy, and later made threats to sell him or give the child up for adoption, Carbajal said.

The drama began Dec. 27, when the boy's father, Logan McQueary, 25, told police Johnson threatened to hurt the boy. Police then began searching for the mother and son for a welfare check, since the mother still had joint custody.

The next day, Johnson didn't show up for a scheduled custody hearing the next day in Maricopa County Superior Court, and the father was automatically given custody. A nationwide warrant was immediately issued for Johnson.

Police chased her to San Antonio, where they learned she was with the child on Dec. 26. That's the last time police know the child was alive and well.

Johnson was scheduled to check out of a hotel in the area the next day, but didn't formally do so. Police caught up to her four days later in Miami Beach, where local police were able to find her and arrest her.

The child was not with her and she was no longer driving the same vehicle she had in San Antonio. Police are not sure how she got to Miami Beach and said she did not have family in the area.

Five days later, on Monday, police still have no leads.

"We have a big gap between San Antonio and Miami Beach," said Carbajal.

I have not seen that yet and Tammifay did not mention that during her interview with Fox.  She only mentioned that she was the mother who was going to adopt Gabriel.  Now if she is the Aunt it would make sense that her MS profile shows she is in Arizona and not San Antonio TX.  That raises the question as to why Elizabeth was in TX in the first place?  Was this all planned out prior?

I saw reference about Tammifaye being Elizabeth's aunt, but nothing to back it up, so I don't know if this is rumor or fact. But I think Tammifaye is not telling everything she knows. I think this may have been planned out.

In the July incident, McQueary told police she tore a part a baby crib, took a knife and cut up baby clothes, McQueary’s clothes, the couch and smashed windows of the apartment and a television set. In another incident, Johnson later hid Gabriel but accused McQueary of taking him, according to a request for custody of the child McQueary filed with the Maricopa County Superior Court on Dec. 14. The baby was found hours later at the home of one of Johnson’s friends after police conducted a search for him.

In the document McQueary wrote, “She has said several times in the past she doesn’t want the baby, has yelled and screamed at him when I would go to work, I would put him in his room, and when I would come back five hours later, he would still be in the room with no changed diaper and crying. I would ask her (Johnson) what she was doing, and she would just yell at me and say ‘shut that thing up.’”  ::MonkeyEek::  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Gabriel Johnson update: Mother told baby’s father she killed 8-month-old boy
January 4, 6:52 PMCrime ExaminerCindy Adams

According to a Maricopa County Superior Court document, the mother of missing 8-month-old Arizona boy, Gabriel Johnson, told his biological father using her cell phone and text messages that she killed their son.

Gabriel was last seen with his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, on Dec. 26. The 23-year-old took him from Tempe, Ariz. and is believed to have been in San Antonio, Tex. from Dec. 22 to Dec. 27. Last week, Johnson was arrested in Miami Beach, however, Gabriel was not with her and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Johnson lost custody of Gabriel on Dec. 28 when she failed to show up to a custody hearing in Arizona.

The East Valley Tribune reports that using her cell phone and texting, Johnson told her boyfriend, Logan Scott McQueary, who is the boy’s father, that she had murdered Gabriel, according to court documents.
She relayed to McQueary that Gabriel was “dead and blue colored” and that she put him in a bag and dropped him in dumpster. She told her boyfriend she was leaving the country and would tell him where the body was when she was gone, according to the document.

Police have also received information that Johnson had tried to get rid of Gabriel by selling him or giving him away. Tempe Police Sgt. Steven Carbajal said “...we are receiving conflicting information. We’re also hearing that she was trying to sell or give the baby up for adoption. We don’t know, yet. She’s not helping us resolve that issue.”

McQueary had previously filed an order of protection against Johnson after she “tore a part a baby crib, took a knife and cut up baby clothes, McQueary’s clothes, the couch and smashed windows of the apartment and a television set,” according to the documents. The order was subsequently dismissed when he tried to work things out with Johnson.

In a request for custody of Gabriel, filed by McQueary on Dec. 14, he noted that in another incident, Johnson hid the boy and accused McQueary of taking him. Hours later police discovered Gabriel at the home of one of Johnson’s friends.

According to the East Valley Tribune, in the document McQueary also writes “She [Johnson] has said several times in the past she doesn’t want the baby, has yelled and screamed at him when I would go to work, I would put him in his room, and when I would come back five hours later, he would still be in the room with no changed diaper and crying. I would ask her what she was doing, and she would just yell at me and say ‘shut that thing up.’”
Police believe Johnson was driving a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88 with Arizona license plate AGZ4214. She is currently being extradited from Florida to Tempe, Ariz.

Anyone with information regarding Gabriel or his whereabouts is urged to call Tempe Police at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-948-6377.

Tempe PD: Mother in custody, baby still missing after 9 days
   Reported by: MaryEllen Resendez
Email: mresendez@abc15.com
Reported by: Katie Fisher
Last Update: 6:00 pm
TEMPE, AZ -- The father of a Tempe infant missing for more than a week says he still believes his son is alive, despite threats from the boy's mother.

Tempe police spokesperson Molly Enright said the boy's 23-year-old mother, Elizabeth Johnson, was being sought in connection with a custodial interference case, and was located in Florida last week.

Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said Johnson left Arizona with her 8-month-old son Gabriel on December 18.

"Everybody knew where she was and that was OK," Carbajal said. "She just wanted to get away for a while and then these series of events happened where it was a concern for the father that she would not show up for a hearing. His fears were confirmed."

Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, was awarded sole custody of the infant when Elizabeth did not show up in court on December 28.

According to officials, McQueary earlier reported that he had received threats from Johnson.

In a press conference Monday, McQueary said he received several text messages from Gabriel's mother saying she had killed the child.

But McQueary says he believes Gabriel is still alive, considering he and Johnson were last seen at a park near Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas on December 26 -- after McQueary received the threatening messages.
 
On December 29th, Johnson was found and arrested at a Youth Hostel in Miami Beach, Florida.
Gabriel was not with her and detectives said she refuses to tell them where he is.

"She was confronted, arrested and interviewed exhaustively about the whereabouts of the child," said Wayne Jones, with Miami Beach Police.

"All we know at this point is Gabriel can be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami Beach," Tempe police say.

Carbajal confirmed Johnson has reportedly made threats to harm Gabriel, but says there is no evidence yet that the threats were carried out.
 
"Is she saying these things to hurt the father or would she actually hurt her own baby?" he said. "We don't know yet. We're hoping the baby is in good condition and will be returned safely."

Police are still looking for the vehicle Johnson was driving -- a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88, with Arizona license plate AGZ4214.

Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Gabriel Johnson is urged to contact the Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).

Court: Mom says she killed her missing baby

Child Protective Services also has an open case against Johnson, investigating her for neglect of the child, according to the court document.

------------------------------------------------

I undersstand the father having to work, but why was she left unsupervised with Gabriel?

Search continues for missing boy

A recently arrested mother of a missing Arizona boy continued to refuse to speak with authorities Monday about her son who was last seen in San Antonio about a week ago, federal authorities said.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Gabriel Johnson, 8 months old, has garnered national headlines with authorities in three different states trying to piece together the movements of the boy's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, after she left Arizona with him on Dec. 18. Officials also are looking for Johnson's white, 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with Arizona license plate AGZ4214.

“There's nothing new as far as locating Gabriel or (Johnson's) vehicle,” said Erik Vasys, an FBI spokesman. “She's still not cooperating.”

What authorities do know is that Johnson, 23, was in San Antonio from Dec. 20-27 and spent her time in two different hotels — HomeGate Studios and Suites on San Pedro Avenue and the Quality Inn and Suites Fiesta Park on Interstate 10.

The boy was last seen Dec. 26, authorities said, and Johnson left the city the next day.

After San Antonio, Johnson traveled to Miami Beach, Fla., where she was arrested on Dec. 30 on a felony custodial interference warrant.

The warrant was issued after Johnson failed to appear at a custody hearing in Maricopa County, Ariz., on Dec. 28. At the hearing, her custodial rights were revoked and full custody was given to Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, 25.

McQueary filed the petition for custody on Dec. 11, according to online records with the Maricopa County Superior Court.

And while McQueary was aware Johnson was out of town with Gabriel, his concern for his son's safety began when he received threats against the boy from Johnson, according to Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal.

In court documents, McQueary claimed Johnson told him via text and phone calls that the baby was dead, according to an online story in the East Valley Tribune, in Mesa, Ariz.

However, Carbajal said authorities are getting conflicting information.

“She did make threats to harm the child, but we're balancing that with information that she might try to give up the child or give the child up for adoption,” Carbajal said.

The East Valley Tribune also reported McQueary claimed Johnson was violent before and that Child Protective Services has an open case against Johnson to investigate alleged neglect.

Attempts to reach McQueary were not successful.

On his MySpace page, however, McQueary left a message for his son.

“Love ya gab we'll find you buddy.”

Police continue to search for missing baby; two different stories emerge
by Amanda Stanzilis, KENS 5

Posted on January 4, 2010 at 10:11 PM

******

It's turning into a case of he said, she said. But in the end, a baby is missing that police say could be anywhere from San Antonio to  Miami Beach, Florida.

Police say 23 year old Elizabeth Johnson left Tempe, Arizona on December 19th with her son Gabriel. Gabriel was last seen alive the day after Christmas at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.

Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, says the day Elizabeth left she told him, "There's no way in hell you're ever seeing your son again."

McQueary says soon after Gabriel was born, they had discussed giving him up for adoption. But he thought the conversation had been dropped. He says, "Then all of a sudden, it was a big surprise to me. She wanted me to sign adoption papers, and I said no."

A family with the last name of Smith has come forward claiming Elizabeth had already contacted them about adopting Gabriel. They said they agreed. They've even shown the paperwork that they signed along with Elizabeth. But McQueary refused to sign, and soon after was when Elizabeth took off.

The Smith family has come forward claiming Elizabeth was afraid of McQueary. The Smiths claim that McQueary was the one who threatened to hurt Elizabeth and Gabriel. They also claim that Elizabeth is willing to go to jail in order to protect her son.

McQueary believes the Smiths are in on the kidnapping plot. He says he also believes his baby is still alive.

Anyone in San Antonio with any information is asked to call the local FBI hotline at 225-6741.

Video of Elizabeth's court appearance as well as a clip of Gabriel's father Logan at the press conference.  She clearly has an attitude when walking into court.

http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/Father-of-missing-baby-reveals-his-side-of-story-in-hopes-of-finding-son-80676437.html

Tammyfay Smith is saying she met Elizabeth in an airport.

She says she met them 8 months ago (If true Gabriel would have been weeks if not days old)

Last month Elizabeth called Tammifay and signed over temporary guardianship of Gabriel to Tammifay and Gabriel moved in with the Smith's (explains the pictures of Gabriel with the redhead girl who is identified in the video)

Dec 18 Elizabeth shows up and said she was taking Gabriel to see his father but she went to San Antonio instead.

If what Tammifay is saying is true she is not the Aunt as some rumours are claiming.  She sure put a lot of faith that Elizabeth was telling her the truth.  Think she figured it our when Elizabeth said she was taking Gabriel to see Logan and ended up in TX?

Is it legal that temp custody be given to a 3rd party without the father signing?


Family with temporary custody of missing child speaks to 3TV
TEMPE - A kidnapper or a desperate mom? It all depends on who you ask. The Smith family was hoping to adopt 8-month-old Gabrielle and are optimistic his mom was just doing what she thought best for the boy.

Kristine Harrington spoke with the Smith family about the situation and the missing boy.

And also Gabriel's biological* father is speaking publicly and pleading for his son's safe return.

If you have any information about this case, please call police or Silent Witness at 480-WIT-NESS.

So Tammifay is a professional enima giver
she met a girl in a airport and the  conversation goes to adoption immediately
Tammifay talks some serious smack about Gabriel's dad Logan

 ::MonkeyEek::  ::MonkeyNoNo::  ::MonkeyEek::

That was my first thought...right after OMG ,I can't believe another missing child....but in his defence (IMO totally and I have no clue to the fathers situation but speaking from experience) When I was going through one of my separations, I did everything I could to allow only supervised visitation as I was very concerned for my sons welfare and with her skipping town with him...the best I could get was to control the amount of time spent, and the restriction of certain locations that he could be taken...but if my son was more than 10 min late, I'd be on the phone to my lawyer...who then calmed me down and told me to hang on for an hour or so...LOL....I also had an advantage over most men in that I work at home.
The courts will not do anything until a gross negligence can be PROVED which is very hard to do for a father, and even then it's an uphill battle the whole way... ...IMO again, this is one of the biggest reasons for so many children being harmed...the police/courts can do nothing until something actually happens, and often times it's too late by then..

Oh...and Good Morning Monkeys !!! (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr165/Sea_Searcher/Coffee/ss-coffee.gif) (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr165/Sea_Searcher/Coffee/ss-coffee.gif) (http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr165/Sea_Searcher/Coffee/ss-coffee.gif)

I'm still trying to catch up...have we seen a birth certificate and is the fathers name on it ??

Yes her and the dad got in a huge fight and she broke a window and the baby was in daycare. She's not the one with a huge criminal record. Actually she has none. Unless however if she has hurt this child, but i know her and she didn't and wouldn't hurt him. I believe she did say that to get back at him though....She does have a temper with the dad. Also, he did know about the potential adoptive parents since the evening of day one. It was never a secret and he never went over there to visit the baby, but the police did that night just to make sure she was telling the truth and he was safe and sound

Couple May Get News On Missing Child
Couple Tried To Adopt 8-Month-Old Gabriel Johnson
Pat McReynolds
Reporter, KPHO.com

POSTED: 10:22 pm MST January 4, 2010
UPDATED: 5:07 am MST January 5, 2010
Tempe, Ariz. -- Tammi and Jack Smith say they were looking out for the best interest of Gabriel Johnson when they started spending time with him and his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, nearly a month ago.

"We had a complete bond with him," said Tammi Peter-Smith.

The Smiths told CBS5 they are confident little Gabriel is alive. They were in contact with Elizabeth Johnson up until she was arrested, and they could hear Gabriel through the phone in the background.

"I heard the baby babble... I heard the baby cry, " Smith said.
They even received text messaged disputing the threats Elizabeth made about hurting Gabriel.

"Immediately after she sent him the text that said she killed the baby, she sent us a text saying that she did that to get back at the father and that the baby was fine," said Jack Smith.

Authorities say Johnson, who failed to appear for a custodial hearing last week in a Maricopa County court, was arrested Dec. 30 in Miami Beach on suspicion of custodial interference.

The Smiths spent significant time getting to know Gabriel and have several pictures with the boy in their home, playing with their own four-year-old daughter.

They say they didn't involve the father, Logan McQueary in the adoption procedures because Elizabeth Johnson told them he was abusive.
As soon as she got away from Logan and we had the baby, and he was not a part of her life, all of the sudden she had a bright cheery attitude about herself," said Tammi Smith.

But at an emotional press conference Monday, McQueary told CBS5 that after Gabriel disappeared, the Smiths tried to strong-arm him into giving up his child.

"When Gabriel disappeared, they said to me basically if you really care about your son and you want him back and you want Elizabeth to bring him back, than you'll sign the paperwork and she'll bring him back," said Logan McQueary.

The Smiths said they were only passing along the messages they were getting from Elizabeth. They also say they are cooperating fully with the investigation and no longer believe the adoption is possible.

"Now the father is so deeply into this that his ego would never allow him to sign papers," said Smith

But they still may have a role to play. The Smiths believe Elizabeth Johnson will tell them Gabriel's location Tuesday.

"She wants to talk to me tomorrow at 2 o'clock to see if I will help her with attorneys to gain custody of Gabriel. If she hurt the baby, I don't think she would be trying to get custody," Tammi Smith said.

If you have any information that could help investigators in this case. You are asked to call Silent Witness at 1-480-WITNESS.

Father of missing Ariz. 8-month-old speaks out

Associated Press - January 5, 2010 6:34 AM ET

PHOENIX (AP) - The father of a missing 8-month-old boy says he received a text message from the baby's mother, telling him she killed their son.

At a news conference at a Tempe police substation Monday, Logan McQueary said his ex-girlfriend, 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, approached him about giving up his parental rights to their son, Gabriel, saying another couple wanted to adopt him. McQueary refused Johnson's request.

Authorities say Johnson, who failed to appear for a custodial hearing last week in a Maricopa County court, was arrested Dec. 30 in Miami Beach on suspicion of custodial interference.

Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said authorities don't know yet if Johnson's alleged text message was sent to McQueary to hurt him, or if the child has actually been harmed.

McQueary says he has "a feeling" his son is still alive.

WTH  ::MonkeyEek::

So Elizabeth's parents are interfering in things they should not be.  ::MonkeyNoNo:: The Smiths spent significant time getting to know Gabriel and have several pictures with the boy in their home, playing with their own four-year-old daughter.

They say they didn't involve the father, Logan McQueary in the adoption procedures because Elizabeth Johnson told them he was abusive.
As soon as she got away from Logan and we had the baby, and he was not a part of her life, all of the sudden she had a bright cheery attitude about herself," said Tammi Smith.

But at an emotional press conference Monday, McQueary told CBS5 that after Gabriel disappeared, the Smiths tried to strong-arm him into giving up his child.

"When Gabriel disappeared, they said to me basically if you really care about your son and you want him back and you want Elizabeth to bring him back, than you'll sign the paperwork and she'll bring him back," said Logan McQueary.

We have not.  The father was going for custody and when Elizabeth failed to show up for the custody hearing on Dec 28 Logan was granted sole custody.  I would assume for this to happen Logan would have to have already proven he was Gabriel's father. Also, the Smith's who claim were to adopt Gabriel served Logan with adoption papers to sign which he refused. I would also assume there has to be proof that Logan is the father for this to happen. 

They were in contact with Elizabeth Johnson up until she was arrested, and they could hear Gabriel through the phone in the background.

We need a big BS sign.  Elizabeth was arrested in the youth hostile in Miami Beach and Gabriel was not there.  How could Tammifay have heard Gabriel in the background?  If Gabriel was in the background when Elizabeth was arrested do you think there would be a search for Gabriel right now?   ::MonkeyNoNo::

"When Gabriel disappeared, they said to me basically if you really care about your son and you want him back and you want Elizabeth to bring him back, than you'll sign the paperwork and she'll bring him back," said Logan McQueary.


Wow...just wow.  Sounds like the Smith's were threatening a father to give up his son.

I do not think the Smith's are Elizabeths parents.  I have no idea how they know Elizabeth but the story that they met in an airport and had arranged to adopt Gabriel from that meeting stinks bad.  The red headed girl in the pictures is the Smith's grand daughter that they have custody of from one of Tammifay's stepdaughters.  She wrote about it on her cafemom blog I posted a link on last night,

Thank-you Northern, that was cleared up for me, I didn't read the one article correctly, and I though it was Elizabeth's parents threatening Logan. Now to me this is even worse, WTH.

Watch her body language during her court appearance and her eyes. 

Woman accused of kidnapping extradited

MIAMI (WSVN) -- An Arizona woman arrested in Miami Beach on suspicion of kidnapping her own son will be extradicted back to Arizona.

Authorities took Elizabeth Johnson into custody after they received a tip that she was staying at a local Miami hostel.

The father of the child says he's glad Johnson was caught but is desperate to find his 8-moth-old son, Gabriel Johnson. "I love you. I hope you come home safe," said Logan McQueary during a press conference.

Police said the mother has yet to reveal her son's whereabouts to authorities.

McQueary said Johnson was pushing him to sign adoption papers, granting another couple custody of the little boy.

http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI140260/

Thank-you, I sure did have that all messed up  ::MonkeyNoNo:: Lot more to this story  ::MonkeyShocked::

They say they didn't involve the father, Logan McQueary in the adoption procedures because Elizabeth Johnson told them he was abusive.

These people are something else.  I hope LE can arrest them on baby trafficking or just plain stupidity or something.  Maybe they need to get the services of their own business as they sound constipated IMO  ::MonkeyDevil2::

The Smith's are all over the place and from the pictures that are out there of Gabriel the Smith's provided them.  Wondering if they sold them?  This is smacking of a Anthony clone with different faces on the players.

Kidnapping Suspect to be Extradited to Arizona; Tells Father She Killed His Son

A Tempe woman, who was denied parental custody rights last week and then drove her 8-month-old son to Florida, has been caught and will be brought back to Arizona. The baby, however, has not been found and the mother isn't talking.

Elizabeth Johnson, 23, was denied custody of her son, Gabrielle, on December 28 after she skipped a custody hearing. Johnson, police say, had left Arizona on December 18 and went to San Antonio, where she tried to give the child up for adoption.

Police say Johnson has threatened to harm the baby in the past and while on the run, she sent text messages to the child's father, Logan McQueary, saying she had killed the baby and that "there was no way in hell you're ever going to see your son again."

Johnson, who was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on December 30, is now refusing to tell authorities where the baby is.

Arizona authorities will have 15 days to pick Johnson up in Florida and are searching for the car the woman was last seen driving, with the hopes of finding clues as to where the baby might be.

The car is described as a White 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88, with Arizona license plate AGZ4214.

Anyone with information should call Tempe police at 480-350-8311.

tammifay's Journal

Hi, my name is Tammi Fay Peters Smith. I'm from Phoenix, AZ.   I got married at 16 years of age to escape a horrific childhood.  On my journey into adulthood I found myself divorced and re-married by the time I was 18 years old.  I married a man much, much older than me and ended up having 3 wonderful children with him.  It just so happened that because of my childhood abuse, my new husband felt that he could abuse me in the same way that my father did.   No child or woman should ever have to endure that!  He also would leave me home with no money and no car.  I wasn't allowed to leave the house.  If my kids needed to go to the Dr. I had to push them in the stroller.  So, I began to become clinically depressed.  I had what they call Post  Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I tried to leave my husband, but he threatened to never let me see my kids again if I left him.  He said, "who's gonna help you, your druggie mom on welfare?"  So I didn't leave him.  Eventually he got tired of hearing me cry that I wanted to leave so he had a Dr. put me on Prozac!  Over six months time they had me taking tranquilizers, anti depressants, anti psychotics, etc. and he got a free ride with me...didn't have to rape me anymore, I was oblivious to anything, even my kids!  Very sad (for my kids especially) I know.   One day after trying to commit suicide on all those drugs, God reminded me that he was still there and he loved me.   So I figured out a way to wean myself off without him knowing.  That meant I would have to have sex with him willingly without a fight every day.  Eventually I was clear headed enough to realize what he had done to me.  So one morning after he left for work, I took my kids and left him to go back home to Arizona.  After having my kids for a few weeks in Arizona, my mom gave them to him so that we would not have to live with her any longer.  It took me almost a year to find my kids after that.  Long story short, I fought for the rights to see my kids for over 5 years.  Finally, I got joint custody.  But once again, he won!  The judge in Louisiana never made him hand over the kids every time it was my visitation.  It hurt my kids so bad because he would tell them I didn't love them enough to come see them when I would be there waiting every time.  Eventually, I realized that me being in their life was killing them because they were treated horribly for loving me and hugging me.  I finally signed over custody of my kids to him and his new wife.  My kids found me 2 years ago and we are able to talk via Myspace.com, and I visit them about every 3 months.  I since adopted a sweet little girl named Hannah Grace.  I believe she is God's grace to me.  As all I ever wanted since I was a little girl was to have lots of kids to love.  I am so happy to have all 4 kids in my life as well as all my kids in Africa.  I thank God for my journey and I pray that my children will use this as a tool to help others with their lives since they have been through so much with our divorce............If you are interest in the whole detailed story, please add me as a friend and let me know.  I'm still finishing my book!  It's called:  "The Silenced Truth"

http://www.cafemom.com/journals/read/1143907/Who_am_I

I better not say what I'm thinking about Tammi Fay Peters Smith right about now  ::MonkeyEek::

more...

I'm sorry but for a woman with all these problems, and the problems she said she had with custody of her own children, how in the heck can she justify what she is doing with baby Gabriel? What about Gabriel's father that wants him, Tammy Faye?

In her own words they are not dealing with him as Elizabeth said he was abusive.  Guess she can make up her own reasoning any way she wants but it does not change that she threatened a father to try to force him to sign adoption papers.

Logan said he last saw Gabriel on Dec 8th.  TFS says that she had Gabriel in Dec and he was one of the family, bonded with them. etc.  TFS also said the Elizabeth came to get Gabriel on Dec 18 to take him to see his father and they have not seen Gabriel since.  So 10 days with Gabriel and this woman feels she has the right to say what she has said and do what she has done to force an adoption. 

Bottom line if Tammifay really cares about Gabriel and his well being she would be talking to Elizabeth to help LE find him not going on the interviews to smack talk Logan.

I totally agree with you. And this detoxing of the colon that she does, yes, it all sounds good, and I'm sure that it has helped people, I am one that it didn't help, and I have some chose words about that. I'm wondering how much money she had already given to Elizabeth, she had to have some money going all the way to Florida. But then staying in a youth hostel instead of a hotel, she probably didn't have that much money.

To be blunt, that Tammi Faye isn't right in the head  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Gotta love the about me on her myspace  ::MonkeyEek::

That was not the screen capture I meant to put up.  LOL although it is her.  I am going for a do over.  The one I was trying to put up pretty much made me get very angry at Tammifay. 

Did I delete the correct one?

Yes thank you    ::MonkeyKiss::

Tammifay needs to give herself a colonic and industrial strength enima as she is full of sh@t!

From her facebook dated Dec 23. She knew Elizabeth was on the run.  She was complaining that Logan was not cooperating.  She talks about underground help that Elizabeth had while on the run.  Sounds like she has been baby shopping for a while with "the midnight phone calls where they do not tell you the background".  Is this legal?

The other thing that has me angry right now is Tammifay says 'we are going to be Foster parents".  I was a foster parent for years.  You have to go through a process with full background checks. I am hoping that Tammi is only talking about her looking after Gabriel for 10 days and is using the term Foster Parents to describe it. If she has been approved to be a Foster Parent they may want to reconsider.  When she stated that Logan's "ego" got in the way from him signing the adoption papers I wanted to smack something.  Logan is the father, there is no ego involved FTLOG.  You can not demand someone sign adoption papers  "or they may never see their son again" and then claim it was the bio parents ego that got in the way. This woman may not be a good fit to be a Foster Parent.

McQueary says he believes Gabriel is still alive, considering he and Johnson were last seen at a park near Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas on December 26 -- after McQueary received the threatening messages.
 
On December 29th, Johnson was found and arrested at a Youth Hostel in Miami Beach, Florida. 

Gabriel was not with her and detectives said she refuses to tell them where he is.

"She was confronted, arrested and interviewed exhaustively about the whereabouts of the child," said Wayne Jones, with Miami Beach Police.

"All we know at this point is Gabriel can be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami Beach," Tempe police say.
 
Now, another Valley woman is also speaking out, saying Johnson absconded with her son to protect him from his father.

"She's completely innocent," said Tammi Fay Smith, who wanted to adopt Gabriel. "She loves that baby, and just wants to find a good home for that baby. As a mother, I commend her."

McQueary said Johson had been pushing him to sign adoption papers granting Smith custody of Gabriel, and that after the baby dissapeared, Smith approached him with similar requests.

"When Gabriel dissapeared, they said basically, 'if you really care about your son and you want him back, and you want Elizabeth to bring him back, that you'll sign the paperwork and then she'll bring him back to us, and you'll know he's safe,'" said McQueary. "I said, 'no, I'm not signing any paperwork.'"

I don't know much about this topic, but it sure doesn't sound legal to me, especially when you are threatening the father of the child. ::MonkeyNoNo:: Underground help, I bet it was her help, this woman seems as sick as Elizabeth.

<snipped>

But they still may have a role to play. The Smiths believe Elizabeth Johnson will tell them Gabriel's location Tuesday.

"She wants to talk to me tomorrow at 2 o'clock to see if I will help her with attorneys to gain custody of Gabriel. If she hurt the baby, I don't think she would be trying to get custody," Tammi Smith said.

http://www.kpho.com/news/22125969/detail.html

Can not wait to hear where Gabriel is after the call.  I just feel that is not going to happen though.

That was posted Dec 23.  She clearly knew Elizabeth was not going to the Dec 28 custody hearing.  Why need "underground help" prior to the custody hearing? Why not call LE then?  Oh wait...she says Elisabeth did nothing wrong! 

Mom's text said missing baby is dead, dad reports (with video)

The father of a missing 8-month-old boy says he received a text message from the child's mother saying she had killed him weeks after she had tried to put him up for adoption.

During a news conference at a Tempe police substation on Monday, Logan McQueary said his ex-girlfriend tried several times in the past month to get him to give up his parental rights to the boy and then sent McQueary text messages last week saying she had killed their son.

Elizabeth Johnson, 23, was arrested Dec. 30 in Miami Beach, Fla. The couple's son, Gabriel, has not been seen since Dec. 26 when Johnson checked into a San Antonio hotel.

Johnson has invoked her right to remain silent and has refused to give investigators any information on where her son might be. She's awaiting extradition.

McQueary said Monday that he and Johnson lived together for two years but broke up early last month. She asked him to leave their Tempe home and then called him at work the next day, Dec. 9, telling him to sign over his parental rights to a couple who wanted to adopt the baby.

He refused and hasn't seen his son since.

In front of a panel of reporters and with his father, Frank, by his side, McQueary said he had been approached by the prospective parents, begging him to sign paperwork and insisting Johnson wouldn't come back until he did.

McQueary again refused.

The couple hoping to adopt are not speaking to police, and investigators have searched their home to be sure the child wasn't with them, said Sgt. Steve Carbajal, a Tempe police spokesman.

It's unclear whether the couple had a role in the boy's disappearance or whether charges could be levied in the future, he said.

In the meantime, police and family members don't know if Gabriel is alive.

The drama for police began last week when McQueary came to them with text messages sent from Johnson's phone Dec. 27.

After the breakup, McQueary filed for full custody. The couple had a court date set for Dec. 28. When Johnson failed to show up, McQueary was given full custody and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

After McQueary notified police about the texts, they began looking for the mother.

McQueary's father said his son "did his best to make a family with her and with Gabriel. She had some emotional problems. One day she would be happy and easygoing and good, and the next day not good, breaking things and yelling."

The elder McQueary said he believed Johnson was capable of hurting her son.

Logan McQueary said he has "a feeling" his son is still alive.

With tears brimming in his eyes, he said he misses his son, loves his son, and intends to raise him on his own if and when Gabriel is returned.

"She doesn't need to go through all this, put everyone else through all this," he said.

Police have witness reports that Gabriel was alive and with his mother in San Antonio on Dec. 26 at one or both of two hotels: Home Gate Studio and Suites, and Quality Inn Fiesta Park. She never formally checked out of either hotel but was scheduled to do so on the 27th. Police don't know where she was between then and Dec. 30, when she was found in Florida. There's also a possibility she may have spent time in Nashville.

Authorities are still looking for Johnson's car, a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with Arizona license AGZ-4214.

Investigators are chasing down other leads, and the media have picked up the story in San Antonio and Miami.

Wow

Tammi Faye will do whatever it takes to get a child  ::MonkeyEek::

Yup and "The couple hoping to adopt are not speaking to police".  I hope a little jail time may be in her future for what she has done to Logan.

Exactly! People like this are as sick as the perps who commit the crimes...

 http://www.healingwatersaz.com/about.html  All about what Tammi Faye does

I'm confused...Why is this Tammi person not in jail?

Scooch over I am on the same branch.

HLN is talking about Gabriel right now.

Tempe police sgt said they have information that Gabriel could be alive and well.

Elizabeth has not provided any information on Gabriel's condition let alone where abouts

Logan was not on board with giving up his parental rights or giving away Gabriel.  He filed documents on Dec 11 to take over custody so he could raise Gabriel.

After Logan filed on Dec 11 he found out about the Smiths.

Elizabeth met the Smiths on a flight back from Boston when Gabriel was one month old.

Dec 27 Elizabeth sent a text to Logan that Gabriel was dead, she smothered, him, put him in a diaper bag and put Gabriel in a dumpster.

Police want to locate Gabriel and turn him over to his father, Logan.

Thank-you, I wonder what the info is for LE to think that Gabriel is alive and well.

I agree.

Gabriel Johnson news: Mother of missing 8-month-old extradited
January 5, 3:13 PMCrime ExaminerCindy Adams
Elizabeth Johnson, 23, the mother of missing 8-month-old boy, Gabriel Johnson, has been extradited back to Arizona.

The little boy was last seen with Johnson, on Dec. 26 after she left Tempe, Ariz. with him. It is believed she was in San Antonio, Tex. from Dec. 22 to Dec. 27. Last week, Johnson was arrested in Miami Beach, but Gabriel was nowhere to be found and Johnson is not talking.

Logan McQueary, Gabriel’s father, said he’s happy that Johnson was in custody, but is desperate to find his son. To Gabriel, McQueary said “I love you. I hope you come home safe.”
McQueary said prior to her leaving, Johnson was pushing him to sign over custody of the child to another couple. He also claims she called and texted him after she left Tempe, telling him Gabriel was dead and that she had placed his body in a dumpster. Johnson said she would let him know where the body was after she was out of the country.

Mom: I Gave My Baby To Texas Strangers

POSTED: 5:21 pm MST January 5, 2010
UPDATED: 5:39 pm MST January 5, 2010
PHOENIX -- A Tempe woman arrested in Florida on suspicion of custodial interference said she gave her 8-month-old son to a Texas couple.
Video  http://www.kpho.com/video/22144213/index.html
In an exclusive interview with CBS 5 News from her jail cell, Elizabeth Johnson, 23, said she met the couple in San Antonio while running away from Arizona.

“They approached me and came up to me,” she said. “I was alone with the baby at the park.”

Johnson said she knows little about the couple. She said she doesn’t know their last name, address or phone number.

“I trusted them,” she said. “I believed in my heart they were good people.”

Elizabeth Johnson had not revealed the whereabouts of her baby until now.

On Monday, the boy’s father said he received a text message from Elizabeth Johnson telling him she killed their son.

Asked why she would tell Logan McQueary she had killed Gabriel, Johnson said for revenge.

“He had ruined my life,” Johnson said. “He hurt me and I wanted to hurt him and that was the only thing I could say that would hurt him.”

“I was emotionally a wreck and was completely out of my mind and just upset,” she said.

Johnson said she regrets making the statement.

“We’re human and we make mistakes,” she said. “We say things we don’t mean.”
Johnson said she has told police everything about the Texas couple who has her son. She said she isn’t concerned who has custody.

Johnson said even though she did not harm her baby, she’s not worried about his safety now.

Asked whether she’s worried her baby is dead or alive, she said, “No I’m not.”

McQueary said his ex-girlfriend approached him about giving up his parental rights to their son, saying another couple wanted to adopt him. McQueary refused Johnson's request.

Elizabeth Johnson was taken into custody Wednesday by Miami Beach police.

Johnson was scheduled to appear in Maricopa County Superior Court's Family Court in Phoenix for a Dec. 28 custodial hearing. But authorities say she failed to appear and lost custodial rights to Gabriel Johnson.

The Tempe Police Department said it has been “working around the clock” to locate him.

Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said threats were made. "At this point there's no evidence those threats have been carried out, but we're obviously concerned when we don't know where the child is."

Oh yea come on some random stranger comes up to her in a park and asks if they can have her baby and she says yes? No back round check, no exchange of names even? Charge her with enough crimes and she will talk.
Northern Rose I have a feeling many would be joining us on that branch!

I listened to this and she has no emotion over what she did.  All she knows is the woman's first name is Cheryl.  She must be the luckest woman in the world to have two separate couples randomly meet her and immediately offer to take Gabriel, first the Smith's and now Cheryl.  It may have been a while since I have had kids but not once has a stranger come up to me to offer to adopt any of them.  Yet Elizabeth has has two separate instances of just that.  She should buy a lottery ticket or get her colon cleaned out.   ::MonkeyConfused::

We pretty much just posted the same thing.    ::MonkeyDance::   Now all the FBI has to do is find Cheryl who was in Texas.    ::MonkeyNoNo::

NG is covering this tonight and Elizabeth took her grandfather's car to go on her road trip.

Mother of missing baby wanted to give child up for adoption

Seven months ago, Tammi Peters Smith saw a young, worn-out mother at an airport during a long layover.

Elizabeth Johnson, 23, looked tired and depressed as she held her newborn son, Smith said.

"I looked at that situation and said, 'She doesn't want that baby,'" Smith said, before walking over to Johnson and asking her if she was looking for someone to adopt her child.

"She said, 'yes, but the dad won't sign the papers,'" Smith said.

Now the baby, Gabriel, is at the center of a nationwide search.

He has been missing for nearly three weeks since his mother took off with him from Tempe, and police are scrambling for clues as more details emerge in the bizarre story involving fighting young parents and the couple who wanted to adopt their son.

Smith said she and her husband, Jack, wanted to adopt Gabriel and that both of his parents wanted to give him up at different times, though never seemed to be on the same page about it.

Logan McQueary, 25, told reporters Monday that wasn't the case, and said he felt extorted by the family.

Johnson, his ex-girlfriend, was arrested in Miami on Dec. 30 without her son, who was last seen by witnesses in San Antonio, Tex., on Dec. 26. The next day she sent Logan a text message telling him she'd killed the baby. That's when he went to the police.

At pre-scheduled hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court the following day, on Dec. 28, a judge automatically awarded McQueary the custody of the child when Johnson didn't show up. A warrant for custodial interference was issued immediately and since her arrest, she's invoked her right to remain silent and refused to say what happened to the child.

Police also haven't found her 1995 white Oldsmobile Delta 88. She's awaiting extradition in Miami.

Smith said she's been working with police and had sporadic contact with Johnson up until her arrest, including a text following up the one she sent Logan saying that she hadn't harmed Gabriel. Rather, she said, she sent him the text to get back at him.

Smith said neither parent is fit, pointing to McQueary's past run-ins with the law, including 2004 burglary charges, to which he pleaded guilty and served nearly four and a half years probation.

"Neither of them want the baby," said Smith, who lives in North Scottsdale and owns a colon hydrotherapy practice with several locations around the Valley. "Most likely she's left him with another family she's chosen like she had chosen us."

Police have no idea where the child is, saying they can't account for the mother's whereabouts during the four days between her stay in San Antonio and her arrest in Miami.

"We were the duped family between him and her and their problems," Smith said.

Smith also she and her husband had temporary guardianship of the boy in late November and early December for about 10 to 12 days while the couple was deciding what to do.

A Tempe detective was at the Smith home when they took in Gabriel and saw paperwork on the matter, though spokesman Sgt. Steve Carbajal said it's unclear if there the documents had any authority since they weren't court-issued.

Gabriel went back to living with Johnson, and she and the boy's father broke up on Dec. 8. He left the home where they were living together, and the next day she called him at work to ask him to sign over his rights, McQueary said at the news conference Monday.

He refused and he hasn't seen Gabriel since.

Smith said she and her husband spoke to Johnson and tried to coax her to return, but had little luck. They cooperated with police, but didn't offer any information on where Gabriel might be, Carbajal said, disputing earlier reports that the couple hadn't been talking with police.

  ::MonkeyEek:: And in an interview from jail, why is that allowed anyway, she states she randomly gave her baby to a couple, yeah sure  ::MonkeyNoNo::

First Smith says she randomly walked over to Elizabeth and asked if she wanted to give her baby up for adoption.  WTF. 

Then she says neither are fit to be parents.  It also seems that her temporary guardianship may not be legal.  Big surprise there.

She seems a little full of the stuff she flushes out of others. 

Who walks up to a strange woman holding a baby in an airport, and asks if she wanted to give her baby up for adoption? Tammi Faye in her zeal to have a child has lost her mind.

court images

Nancy Grace actually had some BREAKING NEWS!!!

FBI San Antonio Texas have found the car at a local motel 6.  Car is being processed.

She looks really concerned and interested  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Great

especially at an airport.  To walk up to a stranger and ask if they want to give their child away?  Still asking why Smith is not locked up.

Authorities find missing car, not missing baby

SAN ANTONIO — Authorities have found the vehicle belonging to an Arizona mother who has refused to say where her 8-month-old son is.

FBI spokesman Eric Vasys says San Antonio police and FBI agents found the vehicle outside a San Antonio motel Tuesday night and are processing the car for evidence that might point to the whereabouts of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson. There were no obvious signs of violence.

Johnson's mother, 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, was arrested in Miami Beach, Fla., last week after she failed to appear for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. The baby's father told authorities the mother had threatened the child.

She has refused to say where the baby is.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6800404.html

NG said at the end of her broadcast that the location of the car is one of the places she told the Smith’s she was staying at.  Why did the Smiths did not tell LE till now or LE has not been looking?

Couple: Mom of missing baby says he is in San Antonio  (with video)

UPDATE: Baby Gabriel's mother, Elizabeth Johnson says the baby is safe and in San Antonio.

She made the claim in a phone call from jail just this afternoon, but it has not been confirmed by police or the FBI.

Johnson called a Phoenix couple who were making plans to adopt baby Gabriel right before Johnson fled with the child.

Johnson told the couple today she found a loving family in the San Antonio area, spent a few days with them, and decided to leave Gabriel there.

Johnson continued on to Miami, where she was arrested by police and is now waiting to be brought back to Maricopa County.

Father of missing baby reveals his side of story in hopes of finding son

An 8-month-old is still missing and his mother, who was arraigned Monday in a Florida court, is still not revealing where the child might be.

Elizabeth Johnson took her son to San Antonio back on Dec. 18 and just over a week later was arrested in Miami without her son, Gabriel, with her.

She will not reveal his whereabouts and so Monday the boy's biological father, Logan McQueary, spoke to the media in hopes of encouraging someone with information to come forward.

New details reveal that Johnson told McQueary their son might not be alive, but relatives are still holding out hope that Gabriel is still alive.

McQueary pleaded that if anyone knows anything they should come forward.

Police also are continuing to search for Johnson’s white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta-88 with Arizona license plate AGZ4214.

If you have any information on the vehicle or on Gabriel's whereabouts you can contact the Tempe Police Department.

http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/Father-of-missing-baby-reveals-his-side-of-story-in-hopes-of-finding-son-80676437.html

I think the Smiths helped orchestrate this whole horrible situation. I would like to know who called in a tip that Elizabeth was at that youth hostel? I saw mention that on Tammi's facebook there are two Cheryls on there, wonder if one of the Cheryls is the woman that Elizabeth supposedly gave the baby too?

Authorities Find Arizona Mother's Car, Still No Baby

SAN ANTONIO —  Authorities have found the vehicle belonging to an Arizona mother who has refused to say where her 8-month-old son is.

FBI spokesman Eric Vasys says San Antonio police and FBI agents found the vehicle outside a San Antonio motel Tuesday night and are processing the car for evidence that might point to the whereabouts of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson. There were no obvious signs of violence.

Johnson's mother, 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, was arrested in Miami Beach, Fla., last week after she failed to appear for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. The baby's father told authorities the mother had threatened the child.

She has refused to say where the baby is.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582108,00.html?test=latestnews

I saw the two Cheryl's.  I doubt this to be true though.  Thank goodness she did not say she gave the baby to Zanny.  The Smith's are now saying "Johnson told the couple today she found a loving family in the San Antonio area, spent a few days with them, and decided to leave Gabriel there."  So she stayed with then for a few days but does not know their address?  first name of husband?  phone number?  Colour of house?  BS!!!!

Missing Arizona Baby's Mom's Car Found In Texas

SAN ANTONIO (AP) ― The car belonging to an Arizona mother who allegedly sent her ex-boyfriend a message saying she'd killed their 8-month-old son was found Tuesday in Texas, but the baby remained missing, an FBI spokesman said.

Gabriel Johnson was last seen in San Antonio when authorities say his 23-year-old mother, Elizabeth Johnson of Tempe, Ariz., spent Dec. 22-27 staying at two motels there.

Johnson was arrested last week in Miami Beach, Fla., on suspicion of custodial interference after she failed to show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. Authorities say she has refused to say where her son is.

Johnson's white Oldsmobile was found parked at a San Antonio motel Tuesday evening. A baby seat and other items were inside, and there were no obvious signs of violence, said FBI spokesman Eric Vasys. The vehicle was being combed for evidence of the baby's whereabouts, he said.

The boy's father, Logan McQueary, said during a Monday news conference at a Tempe police substation that he had received a text message from Johnson telling him she had killed their son. But McQueary said he had "a feeling" the boy was still alive.

McQueary said Johnson has previously approached him about giving up his parental rights to Gabriel, saying another couple wanted to adopt him, but McQueary refused her request.

Watching NG again

Elizabeth lawyered up as soon as she was arrested

Elizabeth did not work, only Logan worked

SO ....who is paying for this trip, hotel's, lawyer....gee wonder.

Several years ago there was an underground group which helped mothers and children disappear from husbands who were accused of sexually abusing the children.  They hid the children from the fathers and the courts.  I don't remember the name of the organization, but it was headed by a woman named "Faye" who lived in Atlanta.  I'm not suggesting this is the same "Faye" because this was at least 25 years ago and the "Faye" in Atlanta would be much older that this nutty Tammifay.  I do think it possible that little Gabriel has been given over to a group of this kind.  IMO the group did some good work.  I think however that they just took the word of the mother and sometimes this accusation is used falsely against the father and I think some fathers were unjustly kept from their children by this group.
I can make no judgement about the father of little Gabriel one way or the other as to whether or not the allegations of abuse of the mother are true.  I remember once being in an airport in Harrisburg PA when a mother of two small children was extremely tired and having a hard time with the kids and I offered to help her which she appreciated.   Never in a million years would I have suggested that she might want to give the kids up for adoption.  It turned out she was a doctor's wife just having a trying time after a trip and was waiting for her husband to pick her up.  No one in their right mind would ask a mother that and no mother in her right mind would accept in the way this was described. Although it appears to me that neither of these women is in their right mind, I sincerely doubt this incident ever happened.

It could be true that she handed the baby over to someone named Cheryl in Texas and Cheryl could be a member of this kind of group.  It could also be that this nutty Tammifay arranged it with the idea of getting little Gabriel back after it died down and that's why she tried to get the papers signed.   Maybe they didn't count on the father calling the police.  All of this is just speculation, of course and I have no way of knowing what actually happened.  I just hope the baby is being well taken care of and will be found and made a ward of the court until this can be sorted out.  I'm not sure that with the father's record he should have the baby either.

He looks like such a precious, happy baby and I pray he is OK.

Is it just me or does this case not smell of the Anthony case? At the least, as we all feared, KC and her family have given every poor excuse for mothers a cover story to at least delay justice if not avoid it completely.

I was not aware we had a thread for this precious boy and posted this at Caylees thread.....
I know this is little Caylees thread....but this case is too much like that case. I hope the Ants are really proud of what they have helped create with the games they play.   Gabriel Scott Johnson http://www.helpfindmychild.net/gabriel-johnson... This is too much like the Anthony case

Authorities find car linked to missing Arizona baby

The car belonging to an Arizona mother whose son is missing was found Tuesday night at a South Side motel, but the child hasn't been found, authorities said.

The FBI and San Antonio police found Elizabeth Johnson's white 1995 Oldsmobile around 7 p.m. Tuesday at a Motel 6 in the 7900 block of Interstate 35 South near Zarzamora Road, said FBI spokesman Erik Vasys.

Authorities did not find anyone with the car, but they were searching for any information inside it that might lead them to 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson. It wasn't immediately known how long the car had been at the location or what evidence might have been found inside it.

Johnson, 23, was in San Antonio from Dec. 20-27 and stayed at two hotels. The child was last seen Dec. 26. Johnson left the city the next day for Miami Beach, Fla., where she was arrested Dec. 30 on a felony custodial interference warrant for failing to appear at a custody hearing in Maricopa County, Ariz., on Dec. 28. At the hearing, her custodial rights were revoked and full custody was given to Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, 25.

Tempe, Ariz., police said McQueary knew Johnson was out of town with Gabriel but that he became concerned for his son's safety when he received threats against the boy from Johnson.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (210) 225-6741 or Tempe Police Department at (480) 350-8311.

Johnson continued on to Miami, where she was arrested by police and is now waiting to be brought back to Maricopa County.

The 1995 Oldsmobile being driven by Elizabeth was located in San Antonio on Tuesday at about 4:40 p.m. by and FBI agent. The vehicle was at a Motel 6 across from a Tornado bus station off of Interstate 35 and will be processed for evidence.

Tempe PD: Mom's car found, baby missing for more than a week

TEMPE, AZ -- Authorities have found the vehicle belonging to an Arizona mother who has refused to say where her 8-month-old son is.

FBI spokesman Eric Vasys says San Antonio police and FBI agents found the vehicle outside a San Antonio motel Tuesday night and are processing the car for evidence that might point to the whereabouts of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson. There were no obvious signs of violence.

Gabriel's mother, 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, last week after she failed to appear for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. The baby's father told authorities the mother had threatened the child.

"He was always happy," Logan McQueary, the 8-month-old's father, said at a Monday news conference. "He had a smile on his face the whole time."

Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal said Johnson left Arizona with her son, Gabriel, on December 18.

"Everybody knew where she was and that was OK," Carbajal said. "She just wanted to get away for a while and then these series of events happened where it was a concern for the father that she would not show up for a hearing. His fears were confirmed."

McQueary was awarded sole custody of the infant when Elizabeth did not show up in court December 28.

"She wanted me out of the house and we talked and split up," said McQueary. "I gave him a kiss and put him in his bed, and that was the last time I saw him."

In a press conference Monday, McQueary said he received text messages from Gabriel's mother saying she had killed the child.
"She basically said, 'there's no way in Hell you're ever seeing your son again,'" he said.

"Is she saying these things to hurt the father or would she actually hurt her own baby?" said Carbajal. "We don't know yet. We're hoping the baby is in good condition and will be returned safely."

McQueary says he believes Gabriel is still alive, considering he and Johnson were last seen at a park near Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas on December 26 -- after McQueary received the threatening messages.
 
On December 29, Johnson was found and arrested at a Youth Hostel in Miami Beach, Florida.

Gabriel was not with her and detectives said she refuses to tell them where he is.

"She was confronted, arrested and interviewed exhaustively about the whereabouts of the child," said Wayne Jones, with Miami Beach Police.

"All we know at this point is Gabriel can be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami Beach," Tempe police say.
 
Now, another Valley woman is also speaking out, saying Johnson absconded with her son to protect him from his father.

"She's completely innocent," said Tammi Fay Smith, who wanted to adopt Gabriel. "She loves that baby, and just wants to find a good home for that baby. As a mother, I commend her."

McQueary said Johson had been pushing him to sign adoption papers granting Smith custody of Gabriel, and that after the baby disappeared, Smith approached him with similar requests.

"When Gabriel dissapeared, they said basically, 'if you really care about your son and you want him back, and you want Elizabeth to bring him back, that you'll sign the paperwork and then she'll bring him back to us, and you'll know he's safe,'" said McQueary. "I said, 'no, I'm not signing any paperwork.'"
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Gabriel Johnson is urged to contact the Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).

 Missing Arizona baby's mom's car found in Texas

Posted on January 6, 2010 at 6:23 AM
******

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The car belonging to an Arizona mother who allegedly told her ex-boyfriend she'd killed their baby has been found in Texas, but an FBI spokesman says the baby remains missing.

Eight-month-old Gabriel Johnson was last seen in San Antonio in December with his 23-year-old mother.

Elizabeth Johnson of Tempe, Ariz., was arrested last week in Florida on suspicion of custodial interference after she didn't show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. Authorities say she refuses to say where her son is.

The boy's father says Johnson sent him a text message saying she'd killed their son.

Johnson's car was found at a San Antonio motel Tuesday evening. FBI spokesman Eric Vasys says a baby seat and other items were inside and there were no obvious signs of violence.

Hey Guys, I just watched the latest on this case on GMA. I heard the mother's voice as she told the story of giving little Gabriel to a couple in a Texas park. She's lying, IMO. She sounds like another Casey, another sociopath that killed her child to get even with someone. I hope to God I'm wrong & they find him but I just have a really bad feeling about it. Poor little beautiful  baby!!    ::MonkeyWaa::

Where is Baby Gabriel? Arizona Woman Refuses to Help Police Find Missing Son
Infant Caught in Bizarre Custody Dispute; Mother Claims She Gave Baby to Couple in a Park

Two sets of parents caught up in a bizarre custody dispute are frantic with worry about a missing 8-month-old baby and are begging his mother to tell police the truth about what she did with him.

Gabriel Johnson's biological father, Logan McQueary, said he fears Elizabeth Johnson may have killed their son, despite the lack evidence. But a couple who had been in talks to adopt the baby are sticking by the Arizona mother, saying she hid Gabriel to protect him.

Tammi and Jack Smith told "Good Morning America" today that Johnson gave her baby to an unknown couple while on the run in San Antonio, Texas.

Johnson, 23, of Tempe, Ariz., disappeared before Christmas after McQueary refused to let her adopt out their son. She had lost custody of Gabriel after failing to appear at a Dec. 28 court hearing.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/search-baby-gabriel-arizona-mother-refuses-police-find/story?id=9489263

I agree.  I will have to catch GMA and see what Tammi has to say now.  I am still confused why Tammi is not in jail over all of this.  She is not right, none of what she says makes sense or is normal.  I am really wondering if all of this started because Tammi wanted a baby so bad she started the events to get Gabriel at all cost.  Especially after seeing her FB, the fake guardianship papers, the blackmailing of Logan that he would never see Gabriel again unless he signed custody to them,,,etc,,,,,

"What she is telling us is that she met a family, a Caucasian man and woman with no child -- young," Tammi Smith told "Good Morning America."
"And she met them in the park. And she was crying and distraught and they came up to her and said, 'How can we help you?'"
When pressed for details about the couple, Smith said Johnson didn't remember much despite having spent three days with them, just that the woman's first name was "Cheryl." Tammi Smith said Johnson told her she purposely tried not to focus on their car or last names so she wouldn't be tempted to change her mind and get her son back.

"She believed she was doing a closed adoption," Tammi Smith said.
  ::MonkeyEek:: Oh please already, why is Tammi going on Good Morning America with this ridiculous story. I would be afraid of Tammi taking someone's baby, I really would, she has an obsession, and it doesn't appear to be a healthy obsession.

This ridiculous sounding story is made up to cover what really happened.... it reeks of the same style as KC.  I am very afraid for this little baby boy.  ::MonkeyEek::

So many unanswered questions. How did the police know to look for her in Florida? How did they track her to that hostel? If she had a cell phone, are they tracking the pings and checking the records? It hasn't been that long, wonder if they are checking video of the motels she stayed in. Was a baby with her when she checked out of one and not with her when she checked into another? Why would she not give the baby bag and car seat to the person whom she "gave" Gabriel? If she ditched her car at the Motel 6, how did she get to Florida? How did she pay for it? Where did she sleep? Any witnesses that might say if she had a baby with her??

Sorry but Tammifaye sounds like a nutcase to me.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Update: Mom of missing baby says she gave him to couple in SA

SAN ANTONIO -- New details have been released in the case of a missing 8-month-old boy.

Gabriel Johnson was last seen with his mother, 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson, at a San Antonio park back on December 26th. Elizabeth Johnson was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida last week after she failed to appear for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. Gabriel's father told authorities she had threatened their child.

Although she first refused to give any information about Gabriel's whereabouts, Johnson now says she gave him to a couple in San Antonio. So far, her claim has not been confirmed by investigators.

San Antonio police found Johnson's car a the parking lot at a South Side motel Tuesday. Investigators said a tip led them to the motel. They found Johnson's car parked in the back with a child car seat still inside. Investigators said there were no obvious signs of violence.

News 4 WOAI spoke to workers at the motel about whether or not Elizabeth Johnson stayed there.

"Not under that name," hotel clerk Sylvia Cisneros said. "If she used a different name, if somebody else checked her in, I have no idea."

Investigators learned Johnson purchased a bus ticket on December 27th and was alone when she boarded a bus bound for Florida.   They told News 4 WOAI there are indications that Gabriel Johnson is still alive, and that his mother may have been trying to get rid of him, give him up for adoption, or sell him.

If you have seen Gabriel Johnson or know where he may be, please immediately call the local F.B.I. office at 210-225-6741.

http://www.woai.com/news/local/story/Update-Mom-of-missing-baby-says-she-gave-him-to/A_MWCcI7VU2mj87wWA11fg.cspx

this little boy didn't have a chance with this mom...I watched NG last night and it was really sad how this mom treated this little child..left him in dirty diapers ....what scum bag does that?

I hope that Gabriel is found alive, but if she gave him to another couple, wouldn't they have come forward by now???
the father seemed heartbroken...

Wow!  ::MonkeyEek:: Ask and ye shall receive!! Hey Northern what are my chances of winning the lotto??  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Right now pretty good!  We know she bought a bus ticket and Gabriel was not with her on that bus .  I can now officially say that Tammifay is a lier.  Tammi stated that she was in contact with Elizabeth the entire time up to the point that Elizabeth  was arrested and that she heard Gabriel in the background.   I will cut Tammi a bit of slack in that it could have been another child on the bus, or at the hostile that she heard, but stick to the fact that the woman has ulterior motives and should be in a nut house or arrested.  IMO she bankrolled this trip and knows where Gabriel is. 

Good Morning Monkeys and Guest!

I was several pages behind and finally caught up.What young mother has not been upset and tired and overwhelmed with an infant at some point? What would make this Tammi faye jump to the conclusion, at an airport, hey that woman does not want that baby, geesh, I will go ask her to give her child to me. That woman needs her azz thrown in jail. She ain't mother of the year material herself.
 I don't think lil Gab is still alive. If she gave him to someone she would have given them the car seat and everything else. Hit her a time or two with a Taser and she just might spill the beans.
 What gives people the right to play God with other peoples lives especially a tiny child? If you do not want a baby, keep your panties up or for God's sake take birth control . There is no excuse for having an unwanted pregnancy. It just makes me so damn angry how people mistreat children I could just scream.
Sorry for the rant. God Bless the little ones!

I am really scared for Gabriel now.  "Not under that name," hotel clerk Sylvia Cisneros said. "If she used a different name, if somebody else checked her in, I have no idea." 

I do not think Elizabeth stayed at the Hotel 6 she left her car at.  I mapped that hotel and all the bus companies and deptos in San Antonio.  There is only one within a reasonable distance to that Motel 6 that she would not have required secondary transportation to get to ( distance 272 ft)

My gut is telling me she sold Gabriel and he was taking on a bus to Mexico, she ditched the car there and then went on her way.  The money she got for Gabriel payed for her trip to Miami.   I really  hope I am wrong. 

I like your style Darla!!   ::MonkeyHaHa::

I say we hit Tammi a few times as well.  I am watching her on GMA right now and she is nuts!

Thank you.....I am just so sick of these POS getting  treated with kid gloves. For God's Sake there is an 8 month old baby missing. Gabe is a helpless baby....beat it out of her if they have to ..she has no rights in my opinion. She gave up any rights when her baby was mistreated or whatever she did with him

Hi Darla  I agree that women should not become pregnant if they are not in a position to love and care for their babies.  Birth control is available free.  I do think there is a chance that little Gabriel is alive and with someone arranged by this Tammifay person. However it happened, Tammifay appears to be Elizabeth's confidante.  So if Gabriel is alive, Tammifay knows where she is and probably arranged for him to be there. I don't know, but it seems to me that what Tammifay did, threatening the baby's life if the father didn't sign adoption papers, is illegal.  Trafficking in humans or blackmail or something.  She needs to be arrested on some charge or another and she'd IMO sing like a canary.  I could be wrong on it all,though.

You are right Darla.... at the very least SHE GAVE HIM AWAY to just anyone.... but I am afraid she did much worse than that.......

I think Tami could be arrested on aiding and abetting at least, or child endangerment. Someone had to provide this POS egg donor with money. Then Tammi threatened The dad. I just don't have a good feeling about this one.

GMA - Tammi says she went to Elizabeth's grandfather's house for the phone call from jail.  Tammi invited news channel 5 to come to the grandfather's to record the interview between Tammi and Elizabeth. 

From Tammi:

Situation that Elizabeth met couple was the same identical situation that Tammi met Elizabeth. In airport , Tammi saw a distraught mother and crying with a newborn and that does not look like a mother that is wanting to be a mother.

Elizabeth gave Gab to a young Caucasian couple she met in a park.  Elizabeth was crying and distraught.  Couple came up to her to help her and the story goes the same way the story goes with Tammi.

After getting to know the couple for a few days Elizabeth  gave Gab to them

Elizabeth was under too much duress to have any memory of the couple other than the woman's name was Cheryl. 

Elizabeth believes she was doing a closed adoption (WTF) and did not want to know where the Gab was.

From Jack Tammi's husband:

Had Gab for a few weeks in Dec.

Felt strange , the whole situation felt strange.  Very in touch with Elizabeth throughout it.  Jack said they offered to babysit for a few days while she got her head together.

Claims by Logan that he felt pressure to give Gab up for adoption to them are not true.  Tammi now interjects and says she can answer that, Logan, Jack and her were in constant contact when they found out Elizabeth fled with the Gab, texting and calling back and forth.  When Tammi finally spoke to Elizabeth , she was so angry and the only message she had for Logan was once he signed the papers she would bring Gab back.  Tammi then told Logan that he could not sign the papers under duress so it could not happen, but if he signed them at least it would get the baby back to AZ.

NOTE:   not ONCE did Tammi or Jack call Gabriel by name.  It was always "the baby".

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- The FBI announced that a car wanted in connection the disappearance of an Arizona baby was found Tuesday night at a motel in San Antonio, Texas.

Authorities find car linked to missing Arizona baby

The car belonging to an Arizona mother whose son is missing was found Tuesday night at a South Side motel, but the child hasn't been found, authorities said.

The FBI and San Antonio police found Elizabeth Johnson's white 1995 Oldsmobile around 7 p.m. Tuesday at a Motel 6 in the 7900 block of Interstate 35 South near Zarzamora Road, said FBI spokesman Erik Vasys.

Authorities did not find anyone with the car, but they were searching for any information inside it that might lead them to 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson. It wasn't immediately known how long the car had been at the location or what evidence might have been found inside it.

Johnson, 23, was in San Antonio from Dec. 20-27 and stayed at two hotels. The child was last seen Dec. 26. Johnson left the city the next day for Miami Beach, Fla., where she was arrested Dec. 30 on a felony custodial interference warrant for failing to appear at a custody hearing in Maricopa County, Ariz., on Dec. 28. At the hearing, her custodial rights were revoked and full custody was given to Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, 25.

Tempe, Ariz., police said McQueary knew Johnson was out of town with Gabriel but that he became concerned for his son's safety when he received threats against the boy from Johnson.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (210) 225-6741 or Tempe Police Department at (480) 350-8311

Where is Baby Gabriel? Arizona Woman Refuses to Help Police Find Missing Son
Infant Caught in Bizarre Custody Dispute; Mother Claims She Gave Baby to Couple in a Park

Two sets of parents caught up in a bizarre custody dispute are frantic with worry about a missing 8-month-old baby and are begging his mother to tell police the truth about what she did with him.

Gabriel Johnson's biological father, Logan McQueary, said he fears Elizabeth Johnson may have killed their son, despite the lack evidence. But a couple who had been in talks to adopt the baby are sticking by the Arizona mother, saying she hid Gabriel to protect him.

Tammi and Jack Smith told "Good Morning America" today that Johnson gave her baby to an unknown couple while on the run in San Antonio, Texas.

Johnson, 23, of Tempe, Ariz., disappeared before Christmas after McQueary refused to let her adopt out their son. She had lost custody of Gabriel after failing to appear at a Dec. 28 court hearing.

She was arrested Dec. 29 in Miami Beach for interfering with custody -- without Gabriel.

"What she is telling us is that she met a family, a Caucasian man and woman with no child -- young," Tammi Smith told "Good Morning America."

"And she met them in the park. And she was crying and distraught and they came up to her and said, 'How can we help you?'"

When pressed for details about the couple, Smith said Johnson didn't remember much despite having spent three days with them, just that the woman's first name was "Cheryl." Tammi Smith said Johnson told her she purposely tried not to focus on their car or last names so she wouldn't be tempted to change her mind and get her son back.

"She believed she was doing a closed adoption," Tammi Smith said.

In a jailhouse interview Tuesday with a Phoenix CBS affiliate, Johnson reiterated her claim that she had given Gabriel to a couple she met at a San Antonio Park.

"I made a hasty decision and I thought it was OK," she said. "They approached me. I was out alone with the baby at the park. I trusted them, I believe in my heart they are good people."

Johnson is scheduled to be extradited to Arizona this week.

Police have also questioned the Smiths and searched their home but found no clues to indicate where Gabriel might be.

Authorities have said witnesses last saw the child in San Antonio.

The FBI found Johnson's car in a San Antonio motel parking lot Tuesday night. According to ABC affiliate KNXV, investigators were combing the car for evidence but said there were no obvious signs of violence.

Father of Missing Baby Gabriel Fears Mother Killed Son
The Smiths have said she fled to keep the baby from McQueary.

McQueary, 25, said his fears for his son's life stem from a series of text messages he received from Johnson.

"She basically said, 'There is no way in hell you will see your son again,'" he said at a recent news conference. "She put in the text, 'I killed him."

Johnson has been interviewed at length by investigators but police said she refuses to tell them what happened to her child.

"She was confronted, arrested and interviewed exhaustively about the whereabouts of the child," Miami Beach Police Sgt. Wayne Jones said. "All we know at this point is Gabriel can be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami Beach."

McQueary said he last saw his son days before what would have been the baby's first Christmas.

"I gave him a kiss and put him in his bed and that was the last time I saw him," he said.

Tammi and Jack Smith said Johnson's story about the couple in the park sounds very similar to how they met her.

"We met in an airport. I saw her distraught and crying with a newborn baby," Tammi Smith said. "And that doesn't look like a mother that wants to be a mother."

Jack Smith admitted he thought the entire adoption process with Johnson "felt strange," but that they all lived nearby and they had bonded with the baby after keeping him for a couple of weeks in December.

McQueary has charged that the Smiths pressured him into giving up the rights to his child.

"When Gabriel disappeared they said, basically, 'You know, if you care about your son and you want him back, you will sign the paperwork and she will bring him back to us and you will know that he is safe,'" McQueary said.

The Smiths deny the accusation and said they were simply passing on that message from Johnson and that they told McQueary they knew such papers wouldn't hold up because he signed them under duress, though it might bring the baby back.

"The father and Jack and I were in constant contact when we found out Elizabeth fled with the baby," Tammi Smith said. "When we finally got to speak to Elizabeth, she was so angry with the whole situation and told me, 'I have one message to give to Logan.'"

That message, Smith said, was sign the papers and the baby will be brought back.

Anyone with information about Gabriel Johnson is asked to call the Tempe Police Department at 480-350-8311.

Tammifay and Jack on GMA

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=9489519

Thanks Northern Rose... I had missed it when it aired.  To me, this mother is just weaving a story to lead everyone down a merry path of madness.  I don't believe her...... she would have given the baby's things and car seat to whoever she gave the baby to..... poor little boy.... I fear the worst... and it is heartbreaking to think it.

I could just scream also. All the times I looked stressed, exhausted, upset, when my kids were little, not once did some strange woman come up to me and ask if she could adopt them  ::MonkeyEek:: This story just stinks of nonsense. I'm afraid Gabriel is no longer alive also, otherwise why would she not have given the people the car seat, and what random couple would just take a child like that, unless for some bad intentions perhaps  ::MonkeyNoNo::

FBI Took surveillance video from the Hotel 6.  Nothing showing car dropped off on hotel video.  (video)
http://www.kens5.com/news/national/80769767.html

Tammi Faye is on a mission to get a child no matter what, she looks bat sh!t crazy, and I'm not real sure what to think about the husband except he is going along with Tammi's obsession. They need to shut up and talk to LE, not Good Morning America or any other show.

I think CPS needs to be checking on Tammi's household. Isn't there a small child there?

There is a cute little red haired girl, that the Smiths adopted.

Gabriel Johnson's biological father, Logan McQueary, said he fears Elizabeth Johnson may have killed their son, despite the lack evidence. But a couple who had been in talks to adopt the baby are sticking by the Arizona mother, saying she hid Gabriel to protect him.   ::MonkeyNoNo:: Protecting Gabriel from what, the father? Yes, the father has a record, but I haven't seen anything so far that would show he would hurt the baby.

Yes.  The adopted their granddaughter Hannah.  Yesterday I posted a message from Tammi's FB that says they are Foster Parents   ::MonkeyNoNo::

The link That Northern posted about the tapes where the car was found,....it was stated that she stayed at two other motels. Did anyone see the baby with her at either of these motels? Has It been released if they did?

Tammi's story has sure softened and changed on GMA today.  Yes, Logan has a record.  Elizabeth does as well.  Elizabeth is the one that destroyed the crib and cut up and torn up Gabe's baby clothes with Gabriel in the room.  Now who would you be concerned with about harming Gabe?


Notice on EJ's myspace there is a message right under Tammi's from her Friend Vanessa from Boston.  She clearly told her friend she has a a new life. 

Police say she took a bus on Dec 27.  It takes more than one day to go by bus from San Antonio to Miami Beach I would think.  This would lead me to believe that EJ sent Vanessa a message prior to Dec 27 about this new life of hers and after Dec 21st (which is the other message from Vanessa).  That new life message would have been sent after EJ left for San Antonio.  I hope the FBI can trace where that message was sent from.

http://www.myspace.com/elizj86
 

Nothing has been said specifically.  All that has been said is that she did not officially check out of either hotel that she stayed at. 

Northern, I took a bus from S.C. to Tx and it took 2 days to get there. I just feel they will find Gabe somewhere in SA . I hope they have checked dumpsters in that area.

Bumping this for anyone new to this case.

Interesting. So lets just say that there is some underground adoption scenario, what does Tammi Faye get out of that? Tammi looks like the type that would have to get something in return for setting Elizabeth up with some couple in a park. If this is what happened, which I doubt seriously, how much money changed hands? I'm sure Tammi didn't do this from the goodness of her heart  ::MonkeyEek::

I hope you are right.  I would think that if Gabe was still in San Antonio and if a couple has him that they would have come forward by now. Unless someone did actually hook up Elizabeth with a underground network that Tammi references in his facebook.  I still want to know how Elizabeth payed for this trip in her Grandpa's car and the bus ticket when she was not working at all, Logan was the sole income and she kicked Logan out on Dec 8?  If any of the money leads back to Tammi she needs to be jailed.  Did you see my post about the bus station? 

The one about the Tornado bus line in Spanish? I have never heard of that bus line before and have never seen one in this area.

If Elizabeth spent three days with this couple from the park, surely she could give a description, and someone could throw together a composite sketch of the mysterious couple.

No way did Tammi get involved without getting a baby out of it.  Her post about looking for a surrogate mother, her messages on Facebook about finally finding a brother for Hannah.

Agreed, this Tammi is on a mission. Has there been any interviews by LE with her grown children?

If she spent 3 days with this couple why did she need to rent a room in two seperate hotels over 5 days?

Yes someone had to bankroll her trip. She had to have gas and food. And Most motels you have to pay in advance .  My memory is not the best in the world, But do they have a credible siting of Gabe in SA.? or just EJ saying they were in the park.

Yes that one.  Was hoping you knew Spanish 

Nope.  There are pictures of them in a bubble bath with Tammi on her myspace though.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

  She wouldn't have had to.

  ::MonkeyEek:: Excuse me  ::MonkeyShocked::

Nope Sorry. If my grandson comes by, He knows Spanish and will get him to translate.

I have travelled a lot for work.  All hotels I have ever stayed at will not let you check in without a credit card even if you do pay cash for the room when you check out.  They preauthorize the amount for your stay and then do not charge it till you check out (or skip out), or cancel the  preauthorization when you pay in another way.  I do not understand how she checked into two hotels without a credit card. 

They do have a credible sighting of Gabe in a park. 

Oh ya...a whole friggin album full of them. If you login to myspace her profile is not private.  You just have to be logged in to see it all. 

http://www.myspace.com/tammifay

Exactly.  Yet another reason to believe what comes out of Tammi's mouth is more full of Sh*t then what she flushes with her business.

I don't know how to log into myspace, but I'm just trying to figure out why she would post those kind of pictures  ::MonkeyEek::

I think she has had one to many flushing outs, all common sense is gone completely.

Here are some of them.  I have blanked out her kids faces as I have no idea how old they were when these were taken.

About me:
I am a mother of three amazing teenagers who love God! I am raising my step-daughter's baby (Hannah)who we have adopted, that we've had since birth. I have the most wonderful husband that God could ever bless me with. I have a great carreer. I love helping people, this is what my purpose is in life, God's greater purpose for me...... I am a colon hydro therapist. I clean out my patient's colons so that they can feel better and get on track with the recovery process from symptoms in the body. It will also help aleviate a vast majority of diseases and disorders. I take all patients on the request of their Physician. We work together in the process of total body detox and recovery.

http://www.myspace.com/tammifay

All I can say is I love my dog a lot.... a whole lot....., but I have never taken a bubble bath with him ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

First of all I've never heard of a Nationally Board Certified Colon Hydrotherapy Instructor, fancy way of saying enema. She must have a lucrative business since she has several shops. Does her husband do this also? Well, she does go to Mexico, whether it is on vacations, or for her business  ::MonkeyEek::

No, me either, and evidently she didn't read the label on the bubble bath.

I know what you mean.  There is no way I would get any of my boys in a bath with me after the age of 5.  Her son is in there with her.  She does post images where the girls are wearing tiny bathing suits, however this is just wrong to post on MS IMO. 

Jack is listed on the business and his image is on the business Myspace profile.  He used to play slide guitar for a band.  I have to go back to find it on Facebook. 

Didn't I read a few pages back that her ex raised her kids in Louisiana?And she didn't see them for years or am I thinking of someone else? My one brain cell is misfiring today.

You are right.

New interview with Jack and Tammi.

http://www.youtube.com/v/BUyO-gU-qgA&hl=en_US&fs=1&

I fear the worse also.....  But...  Why don't LE follow along with her game and have the father sign some dummy papers to convince her that he signed his right away.  Then give her a day or two to continue her story.  If Gab is alive, she may tell where he is.   But I would at least try to call her bluff by something similar to this.

I am still pondering on" Ms. Pooper Scoopers " dog in the bubble bath...wonder what breed he is I know my dog would be splashing and splattering so you could not get his picture..My doggie prefers ::MonkeyWink:: a shower ::MonkeyWink::

You know this is what pizzes me off we have a baby location unknown or if the little guy is alive ....and his mother can play cat and mouse  games ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::

I read  she signed full custody over to the father because he was turning them against her.....and also her own mother called the father to come and get the kids from her house...I will try to find where I read all that BS and bring it over.

Tammi is sure enjoying all this media exposure.

That is from her Cafemom blog.  I have the full post and link on here along with the name of the book she is writting.

BUMP

Here it explains her exuses...Thank you Northern Rose

She must do missionary work through her church, because she mentions all her kids in Africa.

For her to be such a loving person  ::MonkeyNoNo::how could she walk away from her children...I  think she has some mental issues. ::MonkeyNoNo::




Northern Rose   You are a great reporter...You always keep us up to date.Thank you!!!!!

Jack used to play steel guitar with Country music legend Bill Anderson.  Sorry took me a while to find it.

The whole Mexico thing is scaring me.  Tammi goes to Mexico quite often, Tammi references "Underground help" for EJ, and the only bus terminal close to where the car was ditched is a line that goes straight into Mexico. 

Lookee See ....what I found in her my space pics. This is one of her spas. Who knew enema's paid this much!

She is connected on MS and FB to children's organizations.  The Africa work is through Children Without a Voice USA.  She has images of all her "children" posted. 

When you are as full of sh*t as she is, they you have a lot to sell!   ::MonkeyJnBox::

Thanks my monkey. 

Did you guys see the pics of the new house? Somebody has money in that family.

Thank-you

No I have not, but her business is bringing her in a bundle I guess.

Is there a way to check on passports issued within a certain period of time?  Or any other documentation that the Bus Company would need to take people into Mexico?  With Gab being so young, I am sure someone would have to accompanied him on the bus?  Just brainstorming about the specualtion of what is needed to get into mexico.   If there is a way to check paperwork, perhaps more clues can then be persued.

lol Dolce jumped out  at me also....I know the hollywood crowd gets colon douches because I remember Carman Electria talking about it a few years ago on her reality show..she was getting one before her wedding day...sadly that marriage ended in divorce.

I can't say I did after four colonoscopys  ::MonkeyEek:: But for them to have all these shops and expensive home, a lot of people must really like getting this done.

If paperwork is needed.  Someone could check any and all children for the past month that left the States for Mexico on that bus line.  I am sure they would use a different fake name.  Any child in that age group should be checked into.

Those are all great questions.  I am going to try to have google translate the Bus site and see if it says anything that makes sense.

  ::MonkeyEek:: Tammi really wants a child desperately. Seems like she is fishing all over for a surrogate.

I think paperwork is needed, at least I think so, don't you have to have a passport to get into Mexico now? Problem is that is probably not checked like it should. If this is what happened, someone must remember a little blue eyed, blonde little boy.

Northern I think Monkey with Class, posted a translated version a page back.

CBS has posted an image gallery.  Most of the images of Gabriel are the same ones that Tammi has of him on her FB.  Tammi also called CBS yesterday to be there when they talked to Elizabeth from Jail.  Then the Smiths show up on GMA. Anyone else get the feeling that the Smith's have been paid handsomely for their photo rights?

Images 7,8,9 if you read the side caption are from the photos Logan submitted into court when Elizabeth trashed Gabriel's room.

Maybe she sells babies ::MonkeyEek::could it be she gets babies and sells them to folks kinda like a blackmarket could answer for where the money comes from

Just a thought here.  Do they really own the shops?  Or are they renting a space for services within the shop?  I know of a place that offers hair cuts, facials, massages and etc., that's quite upscale.  But each person that works there contracts.  Same with the lady that owns the beauty salon where I get my hair cut.  She owns the shop, but she leases chairs to other hairdressers, who pay her a monthly rent.  The hairdressers work for themselves.  Just thinking...

Ohh I missed that.  Thank you and sorry.

Car of missing Tempe baby's mother found in Texas (with video)

FBI officials are combing through a 1995 Oldsmobile in search of clues that could reveal the whereabouts of 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson, whose mother remains jailed in Florida for hiding the boy from his father.

The child was last seen in San Antonio with his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, 23, of Tempe. Authorities say Johnson spent Dec. 22 to 27 at two motels in the city.

Johnson has refused to reveal where she left the boy and remains jailed. She was arrested last week in Miami Beach, Fla., on suspicion of custodial interference after she failed to show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix.

On Tuesday, the FBI and San Antonio police located Johnson's car, a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with Arizona license plate AGZ4214, FBI Special Agent Erik Vasys said.

"We are in the process of inventorying the vehicle and searching it," Vasys said.

He declined to say what was found inside the car, which was parked at a Motel 6 at 7950 Interstate 35 South, near Interstate 35 and State Road 422.

However, Vasys told the Associated Press a baby seat and other items were found inside, but there were no apparent signs of violence.

Vasys also declined to say whether Johnson had stayed at the motel.

Tempe police spokesman Steve Carbajal said that locating the vehicle was key to the investigation as there was a "possibility" the child may have still been in the car.

"We had information that she may have been looking to rid herself of the child, but at the same time, or around the same time, she made threats that she killed the baby," Carbajal said. "So which one was correct? That's what we were trying to figure out."

Johnson was arrested Dec. 30 without her son, who was last seen Dec. 26 by witnesses in San Antonio. The next day, she sent the baby's father, Logan McQueary, 25, a text message telling him she'd killed the baby. That's when he went to the police.

At a pre-scheduled hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court on Dec. 28, a judge awarded McQueary the custody of the child when Johnson didn't show up. A warrant for custodial interference was then issued for Johnson.

Since her arrest, she's invoked her right to remain silent and has refused to say what happened to the child. For the last seven months, a Phoenix couple has been trying to adopt the child, though McQueary has repeatedly refused to sign over his rights.

In a phone interview with a Phoenix TV station, Johnson said she gave her son to another couple she met at a San Antonio park.

"They approached me and came up to me as I was out alone with the baby at the park," Johnson told the TV station. "I trusted them. I believe in my heart they are good people."

In the interview, Johnson said she told McQueary she killed the child because "he had ruined my life and he hurt me and I wanted to hurt him. That was the only thing I could say that would hurt him."

Johnson said she told police about the San Antonio couple she reportedly gave Gabriel to. However, Tempe police have been unable to confirm her story, Carbajal said.

When asked if Johnson was concerned whether Gabriel was dead or alive, she simply replied "no, I'm not."

Mom's car is found in missing baby case

An FBI agent in San Antonio on Tuesday found the car belonging to a Valley mother who claimed to have killed her 8-month-old son.

Watch Tribune reporter Mike Sakal discuss the case on Tuesday's "Nancy Grace" on CNN Headline News.  http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/149171#video

Tempe police and the FBI have been looking for the 1995 Oldsmobile since the arrest of Elizabeth Johnson, 23, in Miami Beach, Fla. on Dec. 30, who is being held in the Dade County Jail without bail pending extradition to Arizona.

Gabriel Johnson was not with his mother when police arrested her and they have not been seen together since Dec. 26 in San Antonio. She is also not cooperating with police in the search for the boy.

According to court documents, Johnson left messages with the boy’s father saying she had killed him and left him in a dumpster in a baby bag.

Police are also investigating whether Johnson gave the baby away.

The car was parked at a Motel 6 across from a bus station off Interstate 35.

“It has given us new info to follow-up on,” said Sgt. Steve Carbajal, Tempe police spokesman.

Johnson did not check into the Motel 6, but could be seen on surveillance video driving into the parking lot of the motel about 11:45 a.m. on Dec. 27, according to Hitu Eatel, manager of the motel.

“She was alone,” Eatel said. “She could be seen walking out of the parking lot about noon.”

Johnson walked toward a bus station across the street, Eatel said.

Johnson lost custody of the boy to his father, Logan Scott McQueary, 25, when she failed to show for a court hearing Dec. 27. She has been charged with custodial interference, a low-level felony, in Maricopa County Superior Court.

McQueary said Wednesday that he hasn’t heard of any developments in the case, but remains hopeful that Gabriel will be safely returned.

“I’m just watching the news like everyone else,” McQueary said.


http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/149171

According to the last article Gabriel was not with Elizabeth when she ditched her car off behind Motel 6 at 11:45 Am Dec 27.  She then walked across to the Bus Station around Noon. She went to Tornado bus and from their site they go to Fort Meyers and Plant City Florida.  They do not give schedules on line.  I wish they had a schedule on line so we could see when the Florida bound buses left the San Antonio depot on Dec 27 and when they got to Florida.  Interested how much a ticket cost as well.

She had to go from
A) San Antonio
B) Fort Myers

or

C) Plant City

But that still does not explain how she got to

D) Miami Beach

She must have taken another bus to the youth hostel. Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that she ended up in a youth hostel? And who gave the tip that she was there, who would have known she was there? Unless some other person in the hostel did.

I would imagine  cell phone pings clued them (LE) that she was there.

You are right, I should have realized that  ::MonkeyConfused::

The article yesterday said she called her Grandpa (who's car she ditched in TX) everyday from jail and the the Smith's had to go to Grandpa's house to talk to her yesterday.  IMO she still called Grandpa everyday from jail and Grandpa called in the tip.

That could be, somewhere I may have missed this, did grandpa give her the car to drive, or did she take grandpa's car without asking?

  ::MonkeyEek:: Wow, in my book that isn't a rewarding career, but what do I know. I've never seen any place of business like this where I live, and you would think this would be a hit in SO CA.

If this sink was used for what I think it was used for I hope she tells whoever bought/buys it so they do not put their veggies in it!

I just do not have a good feeling about this.   26th or 27th something happened.  Was Gab with her when she met the couple she gave him to?  Were they spotted on any cameras inside the park?   The more I hear about his child, the more I tend to think her text to Logan was not just out of spite to get revenge.

All that I recall being reported is that it was Grandpa's car.  It was on NG last night as well.

I'm going to be sick  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I don't feel good about this also. After hearing about her tirade, and using a knife to cut the baby's bedding and clothes, and then seeing a pic of that sharp knife, that didn't help.

Maybe grandpa helped her with money?

I just tried to call the 1-800 number to Tornado Bus to ask about schedules from San Antonio to FL and cost, and it does not work from Canada   ::MonkeyWaa::

They are in bathing suits... just acting silly.

Northern what is the number and I will call them.

Somebody mentioned it earlier, but with all of Tammi's looking for surrogate  mother's sounds like she could be into selling babies. This just does not feel like it is going to turn out good. Her statement that she was not worried that Gabe was dead or alive, shows another Casey Anthony attitude. God Bless lil Gabe.

Sorry for the double post...I got thrown out on my arse and didn't know it posted.

If a mod comes in can you please delete one of the post. TIA

Done.  YW, darla.  MB

I wonder if she is into selling babies. Elizabeth sure does have the Casey Anthony vibe going on  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I need a job, but I helped give a much needed enema to a work horse once and I refuse to give one to a human  ::MonkeyNoNo:: Disgusting....

 Local FBI scouring San Antonio for missing toddler

A 23-year old Arizona mother said she gave her baby away to complete strangers in San Antonio. In a jailhouse phone call, Elizabeth Johnson was unable to say where her 8-month old child is located.
 “They approached me. And, they came up to me. I was out alone with the baby at the park,” she told a reporter from KPHO in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
“I trusted them. I believe in my heart they’re good people,” she added.
 
The FBI said “They” is an unknown couple on the south side, whom the mom says she met while running away from Tempe, Arizona. Little is known about the man and woman, except a first name, “Cheryl.”
 
Johnson was picked up in Miami Beach, Florida last week. She was alone. It was the last stop on a bizarre journey across country, after she argued with her ex-boyfriend, Logan McQuery, and failed to show up for a custody hearing in Arizona. McQuery has been identified as the boy’s father. He told police Johnson texted him that the boy was dead, but that she later admitted it was a lie.
Johnson’s car was discovered at a Motel 6 off of Interstate-35, complete with a baby seat inside the vehicle.
 
FBI spokesman Erik Vasys says they have reason to believe the child is still alive.

NorthernRose.....I got the info:

A bus leaves SA everyday at 12 noon......need to be there 1 hr prior.
 Cost to Fort Myers is $170.00

Trip is about 22 hrs.

Thanks Darla just got back .

NG is covering it tonight.  4 cameras that FBI has taken footage of.

Combing San Antonio area as they think there are still clues

FBI still investigating how Elizabeth footed the bill for all of this.

EJ borrowed Grandpa's car.

The Smith's are coming on NG tonight. 

Jack says because Logan would not go along with the adoption it gave Eliz no option but to go.  Tammi interjects...In her mind.

Tammi says that Elizabeth never asked them for money, not a ride nothing

NG asked Tammi if EJ is cabale if killing and Tammi said she did not know as she has only known EJ for 3-4 weeks.

Uh....Didn't Tammi say earlier she met EJ at an airport when Gabe was just a few weeks old?

Something is just not adding up with this Tammi and Jack. Why did EJ have to run? She could have just let the Dad have the baby if she didn't want him. This is not going to turn out good. poor baby.

Jack says they found out where the car was through the interview.

The Smith's had a list of questions and the main question was where was Gabriel.  The Smith's have focused their lives for the last few day and have sources in San Antonio ( a radio station) to find Gabriel.  She bought the bus ticket under the name of Elizabeth Jones. Jack told NG the name of the park (which has been out there for days now)

EJ paid for the hotel for a full week ahead of time.  Tammi offered to help with an attorney so custody of Gabriel would not go to Logan and then EJ took off

A few days prior to leaving Tammi says EJ sold her two Yorkies for $500.00 , rented her room out for $400 and got her last unemployment cheque and she gets WIC for Gabriel. 

Yup, then the story about temp guardianship in Nov, now saying only knew her for 3-4 weeks. 

I agree they are covering up something jmo

NG says that it sounds like EJ met this couple the same way as she met the Smith's.  Tammi went into a full story about the airport.  Tammi held the baby in the airport, Tammi held the baby in the place, did not hear back from EJ till Dec 8th at 9-10 pm after plane ride.

Jack said the only side they are on is to find Gabriel

That is strange that he would say that after all the quotes from Tammi that EJ was doing the right thing, she supports her, Logan should not have Gabe, etc......

Wow, so what is with the temp guardianship papers that they showed the media a few days before? 

IMO these two are up to there necks in this.  I believe they know exactly where Gabriel is and that they arranged for him to "Disappear" and have plans to get him later.  I also think they have at least contributed money to this if not financed it outright.

I thought Logan said she did not work....where was her last job?

Maybe their "sources" in San Antonio are telling them they look smelly and are trying to soften their image?

Yup, there was another report as well that said she did not work. 

I am with you on all those thoughts.  Especially that post on Tammi's FB about "Underground help"

Do you think the Cheryl in the park was just a go between for Tammi to get Gabe?

I would like to know how much the Smiths were going to pay EJ for Gabe...I am sure she was not going to just let them adopt without her getting something out of it ::MonkeyEek::

She was only there for a week right? Why did she check into another hotel if she had already paid for a whole week?

Mark K was trying to correct NG that the Smith's have done nothing but smack talk Logan and NG shut him down.

Tammi says EJ sounded cheery, happier and safer in jail than being out of jail going through the custody issue.

Jack said he had concerns , it felt odd, but felt they could be helping the baby and their theory was they were the babysitter.  He admits that they know the process of adoption as they adopted Hannah.

Tammi says they have nothing to gain by going to the media.  They think they can help find Gabriel to help return him to his family (BS)

She was there for 5 days, 2 hotels confirmed.

Where was EJ flying to or from when the Smiths met her?

Raw phone call from Jail yesterday

http://www.kpho.com/video/22155911/index.html

From Boston to AZ

Wow, thank-you for all the updates  ::MonkeyNoNo::

The full call is a very good listen.  EJ says when she gave Gabriel away before to the Smith's she was commended and does not understand the issue this time.  EJ says the  people she gave Gabriel  to could not have children of their own just like the Smith's.  (this girl attracts people who can not have children and that offer to adopt Gabriel on their first meeting like flies to a pig)  Tammi coaxes her in the middle of the call when the reporter asks her why she did not take Gabriel to a police station .  Not once did I hear the Smith's or Elizabeth call Gabriel by his first name, it is always the baby or the child.   ::MonkeyNoNo::   ::MonkeyNoNo::

What does Jack mean in the middle of that call when he talks about Gabriel being in seclusion until he reaches a certain age and then gets brought back out again?

skipping a few pages ahead....hope this isn't a repeat.....Dolce? that caught my eye for obvious reasons...lol..

should have posted the pic with this of the spa...sorry...

whew...just got caught up on this thread...interesting ...

the Smiths have something to do with this in my opinion..watched them on NG..heard them saying some things that did not add up to me at the time...after catching up here, I see that some other monkeys feel the same way...something stinks here and it isn't from the colon cleansing that this woman does..
who could/would do that??? yuk! something weird about that woman besides that...
in the bathtub pictures...that was her as a blonde right?  My grown sons would have never gotten into a bubble bath with me at the ages that these kids appear to be...swim suits or not, nor would I want them to...and if I posted them on Myspace, they would ask me to take them off of there....just sayin...

LOL Cookie....I found that on Tammi's myspace photos and the name of the place caught my eye. They have a business inside of that Salon.


Northern after listening to that call, she is as cold hearted as Casey ever thought about being. Something else I caught.....She said Logan had never been a part of their lives, that she had Cabe alone, he never called.......I thought they lived together up until Dec. 8th. Did I read that wrong. And yes Tammi was coaching her on what to say.

And What was the deal of going to the grandfathers house and calling the media to be there? Just ain't adding up. I sure hope they have searched the dumpsters around the last hotel she stayed at.

Yes...I  thought that Logan said that she had kicked him out...he kissed Gabriel before he left and that was the last time he saw him...sounded like they lived together to me...This "mother"...term used loosely..has some real mental issues I think...if she can cut up the babies clothes, his mattress <<<think I read that>>>> all with the baby being right there? how sick is that?
something strange about all of this...hopefully baby is still alive ...but where??

I think that "Cheryl" is possibly a member of an underground group which hides mothers and children from fathers.  Usually they do this after a mother has accused the father of sexually molesting the child.  I know there was a group centered in Atlanta about 20-25 years ago and probably such groups exist today.  It was a bad situation because it sometimes happens that mothers accuse their ex-husbands of molesting the children to get revenge or custody or whatever, maybe prison.  Of course, sometimes it's unfortunatley true.  But it is wrong IMO to just take the mother's word for it which is what they did.  In this case, as far as I know, there is no accusation that Logan molested Gabriel, but EJ has accused him of abusing her. 

That thing about Gabriel being in "Seclusion" and the mention on the FB page of "Underground" leads me to believe that the Smiths might possibly have arranged this to keep Gabriel away from Logan because they want him themselves.  I also believe NG was wrong when she defended the Smiths and wouldn't let Mark Klaas say what he was going to say and I believe it was going to be something about the threats when they tried to get Logan to sign some kind of document.

I know that Logan has a record of conspiracy to commit burglary but he was never in prison, he was on probation.  And while it looks like a long record, if you read it closely you'll see it mainly deals with one occurence.  Not excusing him for it, but it looks a lot worse than it is.  He seemed sincere on television, but I have been fooled before.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that a considerable amount of money has or will change hands to get baby Gabriel.  This is so sad.  I do hope that he is with someone who will care for him.

Did Gabriel's maternal and paternal grandparents play a role in his life?  Aunts? Uncles?   Support for this young couple ... support derived from a foundation of love ... appears to have been lacking.  I could be wrong.

Janet

Good points, Janet.  I miss you at Caylee's thread.  If Elizabeth had supportive parents I doubt she would be in this mess, but as far as I know, they haven't appeared publically.  Logan's father was with him on TV.  I oppose unmarried couples having children, not on moral grounds, but because it is often so difficult for the children.  But on the other hand, even married couples have these problems which affect the children.  I remember last year or maybe the year before you wrote a touching piece about your daughter-in-law and how you didn't know her parents were raising her to become a part of your family.  It was beautifully written.  And it points up the need for a strong family support system which apparently is missing here.  I hope the baby is with someone who will care for him, but none of us can really say what the mother did with him. 

Nice to see you.

They lived together till Dec 8th, last time Logan saw Gabe was Dec 9th.  When EJ said I am in jail how can I know anything I saw Casey saying those words. 

Logan's father helped them financially.  His father in this video. Not heard or seen any family from Elizabeth's side.

Scottsdale Couple Contacted Tempe Mother About Adopting Missing Boy
Woman says she gave son up to unknown couple  (with video)

TEMPE - A Tempe woman is behind bars after kidnapping her 8-month-old son and driving across country.

Elizabeth Johnson, 23,  was arrested in Miami last week, and her vehicle was found Tuesday at a motel Texas. But Gabriel is still missing.

The non-custodial mother says she gave her son Gabriel up for adoption. But that was without the boy's father's permission.

Wednesday, she told investigators she gave the baby away to a couple in San Antonio, Texas, -- but she doesn't know their name.

FOX 10 talked to a Scottsdale couple who contacted Johnson when she was advertising her baby for adoption. They actually met with her, and Gabriel stayed with them for a week last month.

When we asked Jack Smith and his wife if they think Gabriel is okay, he said, "In my heart, I do. We saw the love of a mother in her eyes."

The couple's home was searched but there was no sign of the boy. Police are still following leads to try and find Gabriel's whereabouts.

Gabriel's father, Logan McQueary, told police he received a message from Johnson claiming she had killed their son.

Thank you Babybear and Northern Rose.

My heart tells me that Gabriel is in safe hands but stolen nevertheless.  I suspect that the couple in the park could be part of a conspiracy that involves ... but distances ... Tammi and Jack.  On the other hand ... I could be wrong. 

Good Night All.

Janet

Where does one advertise a baby for adoption? 

Good night Janet, God bless!

If my husband looks at the cache on my computer over the last few days he is going to end up in hospital when he sees me looking through surrogate sites and now adoption. 

  ::MonkeyHaHa::

 ::MonkeyEek::  ::MonkeyHaHa::

::MonkeyDevil::

I just dont think EJ would give up Gabe and not profit herself some way the Smiths have taken advantage of a gullible, immature girl that has some serious issues, I still would like to know how much the Smiths offered her to adopt Gabe.

I agree. Their tune has change drastically on so many things. 

Missing Baby Gabriel had Been Sought For Adoption by Predatory Vultures

Imagine seeing a young mother with her very young infant at an airport. The mother looks tired and perhaps a bit frazzled, as are many new moms and as are many air travelers.

Now, can you imagine that instead of offering consolation, a helping hand, or an ear...instead you ask if she'll let you adopt her infant child?

This is what Tammi Peters Smith says she did when she first laid eyes on Elizabeth Johnson, 23. Smith, who has been described as living in North Tempe with her husband Jack and owning a colon hydrotherapy practice with several locations around the Valley says that neither Elizabeth or her the baby's father, Logan McQueary, 25, wanted the child, though she also claims that from the first time she asked to adopt the baby she was told Logan would not sign papers.

Smith also she and her husband had temporary guardianship of the boy in late November and early December for about 10 to 12 days while the couple was deciding what to do.  The paperwork, however, was not court-issued.   She says she is the "duped" party because she believes the child - now missing - was given to another couple.

Logan says it's not true that he wanted his son adopted and says Smith was extorting them

In the meantime, Logan has been granted custody of the missing child and Elizabeth charged with custodial interference. She has invoked her right to remain silent and refused to say what happened to the child.

However, it has been reported that she sent Logan a text saying she killed the child and ten sent another sent that wasn't true.

Smith said she and her husband spoke to Johnson and tried to coax her to return, but had little luck. They cooperated with police, but didn't offer any information on where Gabriel might be.

Despite all of the conflicting information, the Arizona Republic titled the story "Mother of missing baby wanted to give child up for adoption" in an obvious attempt to garner the sensationalism of the Casey and Caylee Anthony case in which the mother also allegedly considered adoption at some point in time.  It would just fit the pro-adoption industry to be able to say that when mothers think about adoption and then don't, their hcildren are at increased risk for harm. 

I also love Smith painting her self as the victim, when she may have pushed this mother to do - or even consider - things she never otherwise made any effort to pursue. So much for "voluntary" relinquishment!

Note to the general public: Supermarkets are other good places to find exhausted, stressed-out and frustrated moms!  Stroll the aisles and maybe you too can find a mother so overwhelmed at the moment you can pressure her to give you custody of her child!  Be prepared: Carry custody papers with you at all times so you can be there at just the right moment to swoop in on a mother in her worst, most vulnerable moment.

Grandfather Of Elizabeth Johnson Thinks She's Lying
Bob Johnson Still Believes Gabriel Is Alive


TEMPE, Ariz. -- Bob Johnson said his granddaughter Elizabeth has always been secretive.

"If she didn't want you to know something, you ain't gonna find out," Johnson said.

He says moving in and out of five foster homes as a child made her that way. But he said the straight "A" student also developed an irrational temper that led to bouts of rage.

"She should have sought professional help. She did seek help for post partum depression and she was on medication and during that time she seemed a lot more mellow and everything was better," Bob Johnson said.

But she stopped taking that medication shortly before she hopped in Bob's car with 8-month-old Gabriel and headed to Texas.

"She had this cockamamie idea that she was going to change her Social Security number and name and his Social Security number and name and run forever," said Bob.

Instead, in an exclusive interview with CBS5, Elizabeth said she simply gave Gabriel to a couple she met in a park.

"I trusted them. I believe in my heart they're good people," said Elizabeth on the phone from jail.

But her grandfather doesn't buy it. He tried to envision her scenario.

'Oh by the way, how would you like to have a baby, oh it's free, yeah it's free' -- that's hard Pat, that's hard to really believe, but it's a simple story, it's a story that you can repeat without stumbling," said Bob.

The last time Bob saw Gabriel was when the whole family got together for Thanksgiving. He has pictures of Elizabeth posing with the boy's father, Logan McQueary.

"She's the sweet Elizabeth," Bob said when pointing to a picture of her smiling.

He thinks she gave Gabriel to a family in Texas, and is lying now so the boy will never be found. But she has threatened to harm the child, and Bob wonders if her past and her struggles with self control eventually got the best of her.

"It's possible that in a moment of anger, depression, whatever, that she carried out her threat. I don't even want to think about it because, what a waste. What a waste," said Bob Johnson.

Even the grandfather doesn't believe her story and he obviously believes she is capable of hurting the baby.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Man reports toddler in Rio Grande
 
 
 
 

Associated Press - January 6, 2010 8:05 PM ET

LOS LUNAS, N.M. (AP) - Darkness has prompted police to call off a search for a possible toddler in the Rio Grande at Los Lunas.

The search began Wednesday afternoon after a man called 911 to say he'd seen a toddler floating face-down in the river.

Los Lunas Police Chief Roy Melnick says the man sounded credible, so police took no chances even though no one in the area reported a missing child.

The man was walking over a bridge on N.M. 6 when he spotted a child wearing a diaper in the river.

State police assisted with the search, and a dive team, a helicopter and a hovercraft were called in.

http://www.kvia.com/Global/story.asp?S=11781196

A) tempe, az
B) los lunas, nm
C) San Antonio, tx

Interesting Northern Rose but quite a ways off the path from Tempe,AZ to San Antonio, TX.

Once I mapped it I saw that it is a ways off.  If in fact there is a child in the river my heart goes out to the parents.  Even for EJ that would be out of the way to get to San Antonio. 

Definitely not the chosen route of most people BUT who knows?  Hope the guy was mistaken....

I am off to bed.  Hoping to  see news that Gabriel is found safe when I come back tomorrow.

Good night and God bless.

Sweet dreams Northern Rose.... I am going there myself.

TEMPE, Ariz. - January 7, 2010 -- There are new twists into the mystery surrounding a missing 8-month-old Tempe boy.
 The boy's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, 23, says she gave her son, Gabriel, to complete strangers.

"They wanted the baby, and she simply gave it to them," said Bob Johnson, Elizabeth's grandfather.

Bob Johnson said he doesn't understand the decision, but says he believes his granddaughter's story. She said she gave her baby to a Texas couple she met while on the run from police.

"It sounded like a pretty weak story, almost on the border of unbelievable, that a person would do that to 8-month-old child," Bob Johnson said.

Elizabeth lost custody of her son after she failed to show up for a custody hearing between herself and Gabriel's father.

There has been no sign of the boy since the day after Christmas. Elizabeth initially told the boy's father she killed their son, but her grandfather says he believes the child is safe.

However, he admits he has no clue where the boy is.

"I don't think she'd harm the baby. I'd be surprised if it turned out that way," he said.

On Tuesday police found Elizabeth's car outside a San Antonio Hotel. Police processed the car for any clues that might lead them to the missing boy.

Baby Gabriel Likely Still Alive, Cops Say
Father Pleads for Son's Return After Mom Claims to Have Left Him With Random Couple (video)

A missing 8-month-old Arizona baby is likely still alive, despite his young mother's claim that she killed him, according to police.

Gabriel Johnson's biological father, Logan McQueary, is begging for the return of his son, who was taken cross-country by his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, last month. He and police believe Johnson may have left the couple's son with people she met in San Antonio, Texas, in an effort to hide Gabriel from McQueary.

"Please, do the right thing and turn him over. Don't worry about getting in trouble or anything like that," McQueary said on "Good Morning America" today to whoever knows where Gabriel is. "Please. I want my son back."

Although police say they now have indications to the contrary, McQueary said he received text messages from his ex-girlfriend while she was on the run claiming to have murdered their baby. She was arrested Dec. 29 in Miami Beach without Gabriel and charged with interfering with custody.

"The last indications that we have was that Gabriel was alive and well in the San Antonio area on Dec. 26," Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal told "Good Morning America" today. "We are receiving some indications that Gabriel is still alive and we're very optimistic about that."

In a jailhouse interview this week with a Phoenix CBS affiliate, Johnson, 23, of Tempe, Ariz., denied harming their son, saying she told McQueary she had killed Gabriel to get back at him.

"He had ruined my life and he hurt me and I wanted to hurt him," she said. "And that was the only thing I could say that would hurt him."

She claimed in the same interview to have left her son with a random couple she met in a San Antonio park, but that she didn't know anything about them other than that they seemed trustworthy.

Johnson's grandfather, Bob Johnson, told ABC News that he doesn't believe his granddaughter's story that she simply left her child with an unknown couple.

"I think that she has given the baby to somebody and I think she knows who it is," he said. "I think it's in San Antonio in somebody else's house and she just ain't given it up.

"She has an anger-management problem and she's working on that," Bob Johnson said

Is missing baby Gabriel still alive?
Police hold out hope for 8-month-old whose mother claimed she killed him

By Michael Inbar
TODAYshow.com contributor
updated 36 minutes ago

It’s a missing child case with an odd twist — and, authorities believe, possibly a better outcome in store than many.

Tempe, Ariz., resident Elizabeth Johnson told her estranged boyfriend Logan McQueary she had killed their 8-month-old son Gabriel, then backtracked and claimed she had given the boy to a couple she met in Texas.

For now, the incarcerated Johnson isn’t talking, but Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal told Meredith Vieira live on TODAY Thursday they have evidence young Gabriel is alive — and, hopefully, well.
Story continues below ↓advertisement | your ad here

“We are very hopeful, and we are getting information that Gabriel is alive,” Carbajal said. “That’s what’s keeping us going in this investigation, to return Logan’s baby boy to him.”

A frightening message
The missing child case began to unfold Dec. 8, when McQueary split from Johnson and moved out of the couple’s home. The two had experienced relationship problems, many of them involving their child.

Shortly after the baby’s birth, Elizabeth Johnson tried to give the child up for adoption to an Arizona couple, but McQueary fought against it. When McQueary wouldn’t agree to the arrangement, a custody hearing was set for Dec. 28. But two days before the scheduled hearing, he received a text message that chilled him to the bone — Johnson wrote that she had killed their child.

Appearing with Sgt. Carbajal on TODAY Thursday, McQueary said that after receiving the text, he didn’t want to believe his former mate was capable of such an act.

“[I was] scared, and the first thing I did was call her,” McQueary told Vieira. “I kept asking her whether she did it or not. She said ‘yes.’ I didn’t know what to do, so I went to the police.”

I don't like the fact that Elizabeth went off her medication for postpartum depression, that is never good  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Police: Getting indications that Tempe baby is alive (with video)

Police said they are getting indications and information that a missing Tempe baby is alive, and the child's father said he's holding out hope that his son is OK.

Tempe police Sgt. Steve Carbajal told NBC's "Today" show that he's hopeful 8-month-old Gabriel Johnson will be returned to his father, Logan McQueary.

The baby was last seen in San Antonio in December with his 23-year-old mother, who allegedly told McQueary, her ex-boyfriend, that she'd killed their baby.

Elizabeth Johnson was arrested last week in Miami Beach, Fla., on suspicion of custodial interference after she failed to show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix.

She has since told a Phoenix television station that she gave the boy away and made up the killing story.

McQueary spoke on several morning shows Thursday, saying that he hopes his child is being taken care of, and that he's safely returned.

Meanwhile, FBI officials in San Antonio are combing through a 1995 Oldsmobile in search of clues that could reveal the whereabouts of the baby.

On Tuesday, the FBI and police in San Antonio located Johnson's car, a white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with Arizona license plate AGZ4214, FBI Special Agent Erik Vasys said.

"We are in the process of inventorying the vehicle and searching it," Vasys said.

Authorities said Johnson spent Dec. 22 to 27 at two motels in San Antonio.

He declined to say what was found inside the car, which was parked at a Motel 6 at 7950 Interstate 35 South, near Interstate 35 and State Road 422. However, Vasys told the Associated Press a baby seat and other items were found inside, but there were no apparent signs of violence.

Vasys also declined to say whether Johnson had stayed at the motel.

Carbajal said that locating the vehicle was key to the investigation as there was a "possibility" the child may have still been in the car.

"We had information that she may have been looking to rid herself of the child, but at the same time, or around the same time, she made threats that she killed the baby," Carbajal said. "So which one was correct? That's what we were trying to figure out."

Johnson was arrested Dec. 30 without her son, who was last seen Dec. 26 by witnesses in San Antonio. The next day, she sent the baby's father a text message telling him she'd killed the baby. That's when he went to the police.

At a pre-scheduled hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court on Dec. 28, a judge awarded McQueary the custody of the child when Johnson didn't show up. A warrant for custodial interference was then issued for Johnson.

Since her arrest, she's invoked her right to remain silent and has refused to say what happened to the child. For the last seven months, a Phoenix couple has been trying to adopt the child, though McQueary has repeatedly refused to sign over his rights.

In a phone interview with a Phoenix TV station, Johnson said she gave her son to another couple she met at a San Antonio park.

"They approached me and came up to me as I was out alone with the baby at the park," Johnson told the TV station. "I trusted them. I believe in my heart they are good people."

In the interview, Johnson said she told McQueary she killed the child because "he had ruined my life and he hurt me and I wanted to hurt him. That was the only thing I could say that would hurt him."

Johnson said she told police about the San Antonio couple she reportedly gave Gabriel to. However, Tempe police have been unable to confirm her story, Carbajal said.

When asked if Johnson was concerned whether Gabriel was dead or alive, she simply replied "no, I'm not."

Mom says she gave baby to Texas couple

PHOENIX -- The Arizona mother of a baby who vanished the day after Christmas now claims she gave the 8-month-old boy to a Texas couple, complete strangers, police said as they pleaded for the public to help find the boy.

"They wanted the baby and she simply gave it to them," Bob Johnson, the grandfather of Elizabeth Johnson, told ABC News.

The grandfather was somewhat skeptical of the latest claims by Elizabeth Johnson, who is jailed in Florida awaiting extradition to Arizona.

"It sounded like a pretty weak story," Bob Johnson said. "It's almost on the border of unbelievable, that a person would do that with an 8-month-old child."

He said he doubts that Elizabeth Johnson harmed baby Gabriel Johnson, but said she used "poor judgment" in running from a custody fight in Arizona and that "she'll have to pay for that."

Tempe Police Sgt. Steve Carbajal appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday and pleaded for the return of the baby.

"We want Gabriel returned safely," Carbajal said. "If somebody has Gabriel, if you could turn him into a fire department, a hospital, some safe place. That's all we're asking."

The baby's father, Logan McQueary -- who said earlier that he had received a text message from Johnson telling him she had killed the boy -- joined Carbajal in pleading for help to find the boy.

"Just please do the right thing and turn him over," McQueary said. "You don't have to worry about getting in trouble or anything like that. Take him to a fire station, any place, a hospital."

Carbajal said the baby was last seen Dec. 26 in San Antonio, where his mother's car was found Tuesday in a motel parking lot.

"We are receiving some indications that Gabriel is still alive," Carbajal said. "And we're very optimistic about that."

He asked for the public's help.

"Look for signs with your neighbors. If some people in your neighborhood or somebody you know starts buying items for a newborn child or an infant child that they hadn't had in the past, please report that."

Police: "Indications" Missing Baby Alive
Mother, Under Arrest, Claims She Gave 8-Month-Old to Strangers; Desperate Father Says She Said She'd Killed the Infant

(CBS/ AP)  Police say there are signs a baby missing since just after Christmas -- whose mother claims to have given him to complete strangers in a Texas park -- and whose father says she claimed to have killed the infant -- is alive.

Eight-month-old Gabriel Johnson, at the center of a heated custody dispute, was last seen in San Antonio with his 23-year-old mother, Elizabeth Johnson, of Tempe, Ariz. Authorities say Johnson spent Dec. 22-27 at two motels there.

Johnson's white Oldsmobile was found at a San Antonio motel Tuesday. A baby seat and other items were inside, and there were no obvious signs of violence, said FBI spokesman Eric Vasys.

Gabriel's biological father, Logan McQueary, said during a Monday news conference in Tempe that he had received a text message from Johnson telling him she had killed their son. But McQueary said he had "a feeling" the boy was still alive.

Johnson was arrested last week in Miami Beach, Fla., on suspicion of custodial interference after she failed to show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix.

CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston reports that Johnson says she gave Gabriel away to total strangers in a San Antonio park.

In a jailhouse interview, Johnson told a reporter she "trusted them," and believes "in my heart they are good people."

Police worry the mother's strange story may not add up, Pinkston notes. For one, when prodded, Johnson couldn't come up with the couple's name or address.

In the interview, she admitted she'd "made a hasty decision, and I thought it would be ... I thought it was OK."

Asked whether she was worried about whether her son is dead or alive, she responded, "No, I'm not."

As for the assertion she'd killed her baby, Johnson said she did it to get back at McQueary, who'd "ruined my life, and he had hurt me, and I wanted to hurt him, and that was the only thing I could say that would hurt him"

On "The Early Show" Thursday, Tempe police Sgt. Steven Carbajal told co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez, "We have some indications that Gabriel is still alive. ... We're optimistic Gabriel is alive, and we're doing everything wee can to return Gabriel safely to his father."

He stressed that Tempe courts have named McQueary as Gabriel's custodial father. Calling McQueary a "loving father," Carbajal added, "There's no doubt in my mind that Gabriel would be very well off with Logan and his family."

McQueary told Rodriguez, "I'm really sad. I want to find Gabriel. I want to get any help we could get out there. I'm hoping he's with some people who don't know anything about this and ... if they're worried about getting in trouble, just take him to a fire station, a hospital, anywhere."

He said he thinks Johnson is capable of hurting Gabriel, but doesn't think she did.

"I want to give Gabriel a good life, make him part of the family. (Johnson) never seemed like she really cared much about him."

Pinkston points out this may not be the first time Johnson has tried to give Gabriel away. Another couple says she offered Gabriel to them after they met at an airport.

"What's more," Pinkston says, "court documents show this was one nasty custody battle, with Johnson reportedly arrested for cutting up all of McQueary's clothes and destroying much of their furniture."

I sure hope this is real, and not some made up bs in Elizabeth's mind.

Hi NR and all monkeys ::HelloKitty::

After reading this entire thread I am torn between thinking her bipolar got the best of her ( not that thats an excuse) or she found the "underground" couple that pyschowoman posted on her fb page Dec. 23rd.

Do we know what she did in Miami?  What was her demeanor throuout the day?  Did she just sleep in the Hostel or did she stay there throuout the day.   This could be very telling as to what type of actions she was performing.  I am sure the FBI/LE are sifting thru her cell phone records and text messages.  Wonder if they will provide any clues.

Today Show Video

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/34746158#34745448

I really hope and pray that her bipolar topped with postpartum depression didn't get the best of her. Terrible combination, and then to have stopped her meds, scares me to death, what she may have done.

I want to know how she got to Miami.  Tornado Bus which was confirmed as being the one she took last night does not go to Miami.  She had to get to Miami Beach from either Fort Myers or Plant City. 

Not only that, how did she end up in a youth hostel? Did she know about this place ahead of time?

morning all...this is really sad and scary..

does anyone else ever wonder why children go off to foster care when there are grand parents around? Elizabeth was in and out of foster homes...don't know any of the circumstances  but as a grand parent, I couldn't imagine letting my grand child go to foster care if there was a chance that I could care for the child..in other words, if there was a  breath left in my body...Not judging anyone, just saying for me, that would not be an option if given a choice...makes me wonder if a child's life could have turned out differently if life had given them a different route ......dunno...

Does anyone else think that if a composite of the couple is made "Cheryl" will have a uncanny resemblance to Tammi and "Cheryl's husband" will have a great similarity to Jack?

I am believing more and more that Tammi has a lot to do with where things are at right now.  That she wanted a child so bad that she saw a vulnerability and took advantage of it at all cost.  Nothing has been said as to why EJ took of to San Antonio as a destination.  I do not think that was a random choice.  I think she was coaxed and groomed and preyed on.  JMO.

Hi Leslee   ::HelloKitty::

Here is a thought I want to toss out.  EJ came off her meds recently.  Enima woman is all over the net with the natural benefits of flushing out and how it cures everything.  Did Enima woman have anything to do with convincing EJ to stop her meds and then hook her up with the underground? 

NorthernRose...I think that your thinking is making a lot of sense....

Speaking of Enima woman, she is busy deleting stuff from her MS.  Only 3 albums left today.  Bet her FB got an enima as well.

listening to the full call and hearing Enima woman coax certain aspects of it from EJ it came to me when the reporter asked EJ why did she do this and Enima woman pipes in "you were on a ledge and Logan pushed you over", that Enima woman could have been talking about what SHE really did in this whole thing.  Starting in Nov 2008 she is all over looking for a child to play with her youngest, and some of it looks pretty desperate.  I think she saw a weakness, set things up, and went in for the kill and watched as it all started to play out according to plan.  Only thing she was not counting on was Logan not being cooperative.  In her own words "his ego has gotten in the way........"  JMO

Does she or her husband have any family in SA?

Don't know.  Jack did say that they had friends in SA and then said they have contacts which he further elaborated as a radio station. 

Total sense, Tammi preyed on Elizabeth, somehow got her to stop her meds, and who knows what else she did.

I agree. I also think that if someone had baby Gabriel that they would have come forward, honestly I do and my gut just does not feel right with this one. If it is proven that they preyed upon her and got her off her meds resulting in her harming,fatally or otherwise,Baby Gabe, they should be charged for the crime just the same as she.

I believe also that if someone had Gabriel they would step forward, makes no sense not to, someone along the way will recognize the baby.

Could Tammi and Jack have a connection with the couple in the park ... the couple who Elizabeth claims she gave Gabrial too.  Is it all a baby selling scheme?  Was Elizabeth duped?

Just speculating.

Janet

Janet...my thoughts are on the same path as yours. Tammi was all over the net trying to find surrogate mother's. I just have this sick feeling that she and hubby are in the baby brokering business. I just don't see the point in not coming forward if you have the child. It is national news, if someone has him they would be crazy not to turn the baby over to authorities. Tammi didn't raise her own children, why is she so desperate for another child??


Forgot my manners...Good Afternoon Monkeys!

Hi Darla. What is this obsession with having other children? And she kept saying that the three year old was wanting a sibling all the time. I don't believe that. I find Tammi to be a dangerous woman on a couple levels. I mean who sees a stressed out mother and comes to the realization that the mother doesn't want the baby?  ::MonkeyShocked::

Something is off with the mothers story, their story and the story period.

If you see a mother struggling and stressed it is not normal to walk up to them and ask if you can adopt their baby.  They can spin it any way they want but if adoption did come up in the conversation or something to the effect of take my baby for a while, they should have helped by alerting officials or facilitate taking Gabriel and or EJ to social services, a crisis center, the police etc.   The Smith's are clearly educated and versed in adoption and the process.  It makes no sense that they did this without motive of their own knowing first hand the proper steps and contacts involved in temp custody and adoption.   They would have contacts in the "system" already from their own adoption so can not claim ignorance and trying to do the right thing....yadda....yadda 

Ok...There are 2 Cheryl's on Tammi Facebook friends. Someone with better sleuthing skills than me might can find where these two ladies live.
Cheryl Cornell Torchia
Cheryl Parker Lewis.

Wonder where Jessstar is? She has all kind of data bases.

If I see a young mother having a hard time I would ask if there was anything I could do to help, but this BS of Tammi's saying she knew by looking at her that she didn't want her baby is just that....... Bullchit

I really think the cops need to investigate the Smith's a lil bit more.

WOW.... that is a really good thought!!!!! Entirely plausible, she spent ten days with them right before she took off. I am beginning to think Enema woman is a baby broker and has no intention of finding a brother/sister for Hannah but thats how she attracts people who are thinking of giving up their kids. Only thing is... why is she putting herself out there to the media at all? Why not lie low? And the only answer I can come up with for that is because she is crazy and wants the attention. Any other ideas?

Tammi is crazy and wants the attention, and her husband is going along with it for whatever reason.

According to Cheryl Torchia, Director of Women's Ministries at CCV, the surprise gift is the result of an anonymous donation: pe was donated to CCV, and we decided the best use for this car would be to give it away to one of our Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers).We have an extensive program to help teen mothers in the area and I thought this gift in particular would mean a lot to one overworked single teen mom.#34

Torchia also stated that, though there are many teen mothers in the program who are in need and who are working to improve their lives for themselves and for their children, only one would be able to receive the car.

As Torchia stated, #34Like many young girls trying to raise children alone, September faces an uphill struggle.

something is  mighty strange and suspect in my mind about this couple, especially Tammi...how much money does one make flushing out other people's poop shutes anyways???? just sayin..

I think it can be a lucrative business if you cater to the right people. AZ is full of resorts and the rich and famous use this to lose weight..... I can't remember the celebrity but one of them had 20 lbs of fecal matter when he died. If you look up colonics you will see that we are literally loaded with shit! But I suspect she makes money on the side as a baby broker....I'm sticking with that!

Tammi's husband appeared to have a severe case of brain farts last night on NG, and no offense he appears that he should be thinking more of grandchildren...not adopting a child ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyEek::





Good afternoon Monkeys ::MonkeyAngel::

Police hopeful that missing Tempe baby is alive (with video)

police were hopeful Thursday that a missing Arizona 8-month-old boy was alive and possibly in the San Antonio, Texas, area.

Tempe police spokesman Sgt. Steve Carbajal said, "We don't have a definitive location or we'd be there."

Gabriel Johnson was last seen in San Antonio in December with his 23-year-old mother, who allegedly told her ex-boyfriend, Logan McQueary, that she'd killed their baby. Elizabeth Johnson was arrested last week in Florida on suspicion of custodial interference after she didn't show up for a custodial hearing.

McQueary spoke on several morning shows Thursday, saying that he hopes his child is being taken care of, and that he's safely returned. Police were using the national media coverage to spread a message to anyone who might have Gabriel that prosecution is not a priority.

"If you have him, drop him off somewhere safe and walk away," Carbajal said. "Prosecution is not a big concern right now, it's getting back Gabriel that's the focus and has always been the focus."

When asked if Johnson could be capable of killing her child, McQueary told NBC's "Today" show that, "she may be. I don't want to think that she did it. I believe Gabriel is alive and well."

After her arrest, she has told KPHO Channel 5 that she gave the boy away to a couple in San Antonio and made up the killing story.

He said if anyone who has Gabriel is afraid of getting in trouble, they could drop him off at a hospital or fire station.

Authorities urged anyone who know's where Gabriel is to call The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

leslee...that is my theory also...I still would like to know how much money the Smiths offered EJ for Gabe....I have a feeling we will see a lot of people exposed that  are involved in the baby broker business ::MonkeyMad::


lele

Leticia Lance was on HLN and said according to Grandpa Bob, EJ had no connections or ties or family in San Antonio.  He is confused why she chose there to go.  He also said that she was very internet suave and thinks if she did give the baby away she had prearranged it by advertising on the internet. 

exactly what hubs and I had said last night while watching him...

That is exactly what my hubby said when we just saw the piece on HLN.  He is not familiar with this case, watched the clip, called BS right away and said she sold the baby and is willing to sit in jail for the few years she will get for interference of custody then will be out to be free with the money she got for selling Gabriel.

I have a feeling EJ is a whole smarter than we know......maybe the Smiths would not give her the amount of money she wanted so she went for the highest bidder....The Smiths were not going to recieve Gabe as a gift from EJ....Money Talks!!!!

agreed....could very well be true...

Grandpaw might have the money buried in his back yard that EJ got for Gabe.....I am surprised he said "if she gave the baby away " he knows damn well she did not give the baby away....BABY SOLD!!

The surrogate site postings that Tammi left are interesting.  She responded only to young girls who had never done it before and offered very low (2,000 plus one visit while preg and being at hosp for the birth).  Experienced surrogates were telling these young girls that they should reconsider their decisions to do this at such a early age. 

I would think there  would be cameras at a rest stop...just thinking.....if not this would be the perfect place to make the exchange.

My interpretation of that was that he knows she has it in her to harm Gabriele. 

Police: We believe 8-month-old left at S.A. park is still alive (with video)

There's still hope that a missing 8-month-old baby with ties to the Alamo City is alive.

"We have some indications that Gabriel is still alive," Sgt. Steven Carbajal of the Tempe Police Department.

Police are offering no further details as they search for Gabriel Johnson. His parents were locked in a nasty custody battle when he disappeared right after Christmas.

He was last seen with his mother, Elizabeth Johnson, who claims she gave the boy to complete strangers at a San Antonio park. She's been arrested in Florida on suspicion of what authorities call "custodial interference."

In a jailhouse interview, the 23-year-old Johnson talked about the couple who she says now have her baby..

"I trusted them," she told a reporter. "I believe in my heart they are good people."

Before her arrest, Johnson allegedly sent the father of the child, Logan McQueary, a text message saying, "There is no way in hell you will ever see your son again, I killed him." Later, she said she made that story up.

McQueary said he is not sure what has happened to baby Gabriel. He told reporters that he did not think Elizabeth had killed their son.

Investigators are not certain the mother is telling the truth about giving the boy away. Johnson claims to not know the name of the couple or their address.

"I made a hasty decision, and I thought it would be... I thought it was okay," she said.

Police are also concerned about another statement she made, that she's not worried about whether the boy is alive or dead.

http://www.kens5.com/news/Police-We-believe-8-month-old-left-at-SA-park-is-still-alive-80915877.html

I agree...

lol I am on the angry  train.... ::MonkeyShocked:: I did read earlier that he thoughtEJ could do harm to Gabe  then I read  that the sweet EJ would not...so question is which EJ are we talking about...without her meds like other monkeys have said that spells disaster.

This case is unbelievable.

Old blog regarding how Texas has some laws that are easier than California.  Also info regarding some fee totals.  I have never heard of things like this going on. 

I am just in WOW.

Jennalee Ryan, Abraham Center of Life, Jennalee Ryan CEO and Founder Abagails Silver Spoon Adoptions, Inc.

The Abraham Center for Life Website is Down … Down … Down … This could be because they are being investigated by the FDA and FBI right now or fear of lawsuits from the connections between the two agencies.
However Google has cached many of their websites, Any and all web searches for “Abagails Silver Spoon Adoptions, Inc.” and simular sounding names lead to cache’d websites on http://abrahamcenteroflife.com/
On their old website it states … “If you are an adoption attorney or licensed agency and would like more information on our services, please contact us at 1-800-488-3238 and we will be glad to explain our program to you. ”

In other words Jennalee Ryan is asking to assemble an attorney / agency organization! Notice Also that Jennalee Ryan asks attorney’s first not adoption agencies? If Ryan is planning consentual and above the board adoptions why does she need attorneys more than adoption agencies. People only need attorneys to do nonconsensual and possibly illegal actions. All government actions that are consentual and legal only need forms and notaries! And this is a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney!
Therefore Jennalee Ryan CEO and Founder Abagails Silver Spoon Adoptions, Inc has already assembled a network for dealing with nonconsensual and possibly illegal activities!

I think this is unethical to take children from contesting fathers or manufacture embryo’s in the test tubes when there are so many children suffering in the Foster Care System!

Make no mistake Jennalee Ryan is catering to Racist wealthy parents and is running an interstate Law Network. It is her demographic. The Connection with the Law Network is a win / win situation for the Lawyers involved! They get payed by wealthy adoptee’s even if the father’s eventually win in court! No Malpractice even if they cause the bad adoption or advise the Adoption Agencies to commit perjury! Legal Fee’s are Legal Baby Selling!

So are Ryan Advertising Fee’s in Texas. Notice the Adoption Business can pick and chose a different state for each aspect of the adoption, Advertising fee’s in one state, facilitation Fee’s in another, adoption in another, birth in another, custody in another …..

Why are they taking children away from their biological parents while so many children suffer in the foster care system?

Why allow each aspect of the adoption to take place in the state that is most benificial to the adoption business?

Why can’t Utah prosecute Jennalee Ryan’s Silver Spoons for Baby Brokering and Money Laundering for the $10,000 plus in fee’s she charges?

Why can’t Texas overturn the Adoption under Texas Law because I filed a Paternity suit in my state A month and a half before birth?  -Remember the Adoption Placement Service is  Jennalee Ryan’s “A Abagails Silver Spoon Adoptions.” in San Antonio Texas!
Why is the interstate Commerce of human souls being allowed in the United States of America? And individual state laws protecting the Baby selling industry but not parental rights?

Shouldn’t the US government protect the little guy?  And let the fathers pick the state of Jurisdiction, between birth, conception, adoption etc?
This is nothing but white slavery, baby selling and biological prostitution! And its gone on far too long in this country!

I believe that every states laws that can have a claim’s laws should be followed. If both parents live in one state, the child is concieved in that state, and one parent is flown to another state by an agency from yet another state I don’t think that the “yet another state” should have jurisdiction. Just because they were used in Birth Deception. I think the state of conception, and citizenship of both parents should take precedent.  Most Importantly Every child has a right to know where they came from and every parent has a right to know their own child!
Jennalee Ryan moved her Businesses from California to Texas because Texas’s negligent laws on child selling in the facilitation business.

Jennalee Ryan also remains in contact with an associate in California named James Webb who owns or runs “The Adoption Center of Choice” in Orem Utah. Why is a California Insurance Agent Running a Utah Adoption Agency? It seems just like more ways to circumvent local laws and any legal responsibility!  James Webb also sells Insurance and Real Estate a Perfect Opportunity for Money Laundering!
If you are following my struggle or Cody’s you may be aware that theadoptioncenter.com in Orem Utah is connected to the Embryo Selling Business in San Antonio Texas through James Webb in California who’s business address is the same as Californias Abraham Center of Life and James Webb is Listed as Agent of Service for “The Adoption Center of Choice,” and “A Heart of Gold Adoptions”!

I hope somebody in law enforcement has the courage to go after and prosecute these criminals!

Thank You

-Bye

In the video above starting at -1:03 the Smiths have their temp custody papers on display.  I have grabbed screen shots.  Is there anyone that can grab them and enlarge them so we can read them?  What I see is that this was signed on Dec 9th, 2009 and something about June 2, 2012 (long babysitting stint Jackie!)

It lists Arizona Revides Statues, Section 14-5104. When I looked that up
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=14

It is under chapter 5 Protection of Persons under disability and their propery, 14-5104  Delegation of powers by parent or guardian:

14-5104. Delegation of powers by parent or guardian

A parent or a guardian of a minor or incapacitated person, by a properly executed power of attorney, may delegate to another person, for a period not exceeding six months, any powers he may have regarding care, custody or property of the minor child or ward, except power to consent to marriage or adoption of the minor.

As suspicious as I am in regards to Tammi and Jack's involvement in the happenings encompassing baby Gabriel ... as far as we know no other mother has come forward claiming to have given up her baby to or has adopted a baby through this couple or ... has acted as a surrogate.

Janet
