I swear I ddin't purposely put that smiley in my last post   

We know you didn't, Leroy.  It happens when you put the numeral 8 in with a parenthesis  right next to it.   For it not to show as a smiley, you could leave a space between the 8 and the )  That's what I did when I edited your post to have it show the 8 and not the smiley.

Hi Klaas...I watched a video of her pleads for return of the baby on TV last night. It looked to me like "forced drama" and not very good acting, I must say. Crying w/ no tears  I do not believe her either. Time will tell....

scootch over on that there branch...I am hanging on there with ya!
how many rapists don't succeed with the rape and then take off with an infant?
his goal/purpose is to rape and terrorize, not to babysit an infant...imo...
I think that the mom is/was very pressured...child with special needs, pregnant again and moving...all very stressful alone, never mind all combined....Mom is making me twitch...sorry, can't help my gut feeling...

[Tracygirl]

Even I will admit I am stretching a bit. Time will tell I suppose. Prayers for this baby.

$10,000 reward offered in case of missing Dallas baby
BY NATHANIEL JONES
njonesb@star-telegram.com

A $10,000 reward has been offered in the safe return of a missing 9-month-old Dallas girl whose parents said was kidnapped this week during a sexual assault attempt on the mother.

The mother told Dallas police Tuesday night that the black-haired and brown-eyed Daisja Weaver, was taken from the family's north Dallas apartment in the 6800 block of Preston Oaks Road at about 11:40 p.m. Tuesday.

The mother told police that a man entered the family's apartment and tried to assault her. The woman fought him off, but the man grabbed the baby and fled the apartment.

It took police more than 10 hours after the baby was taken to issue an Amber Alert because police said that the parents gave conflicting stories about their daughter. The alert went out just before noon Wednesday.

Police late Tuesday and Wednesday morning searched with dogs and a police helicopter in the area around the complex.

If Weaver is determined to have been a victim of foul play, the same $10,000 will be paid for information that lead to the arrest and indictment of the suspect, Dallas police said.

Daisja weighs about 20 pounds and is about 2 feet, 4 inches long. She was last seen wearing purple clothes and a diaper.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 214-671-4268 or 214-671-4250.

I have an awful feeling about this beautiful baby with the big dark eyes.....
Maybe I'm jaded also, like some of you, because of everything we've seen in the last few years, but I just don't think the mom is telling the truth either.

Another heartbreaking story is about to emerge, more than likely.

[Leroy]

Muffy - thanks for fixing my post....i learn something new here everyday 

pdh3 - sadly, i agree with you

I was just now able to watch this video....I do not believe this womans story at all.  I am confused about what this baby was wearing the last time she was seen...in all the news reports it says a red hoodie, but in this video the mom say she had on a purple shirt??  maybe I misunderstood but something doesn't add up!

Also, I think the only reason the amber alert was issued was more of a *CYA* on LE's part.

DALLAS — Police Saturday were reviewing information gathered since the parents of a 9-month-old girl reported her abducted from their home earlier in the week.

"It's getting frustrating," Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse said.

Tamaira Creagh, 19, said a man wearing a red hooded sweatshirt broke into her North Dallas apartment Tuesday night and tried to sexually assault her, then took her daughter Daijsa Weaver and fled. She said the child's father was not at home at the time.

Police have expressed skepticism about the disappearance because the girl's parents differ in their accounts.

"We've exhausted all leads, tips," Janse said. "We're going back through the evidence. We're hoping we missed something. As of right now we are back to square one. We're no closer than we were the first night."

A $10,000 reward has been offered for the child's safe return.

Missing Dallas infant's father arrested on evidence tampering charge

12:00 AM CDT on Monday, June 15, 2009
By SCOTT GOLDSTEIN / The Dallas Morning News
sgoldstein@dallasnews.com

Dallas police arrested the father of a 9-month-old girl missing since last week and said Sunday that they have "uncorroborated evidence" from the mother that the child was not kidnapped as she and the father had said but was killed.

Alandus Weaver, 20, of Dallas was arrested Saturday on a charge of tampering with evidence in the case of Daisja Weaver and on a warrant out of Richardson, according to Dallas County Jail records. His bail was set at $100,000.

Details of the accusations against Weaver were not available. But police said they still hope to find Daisja alive, and an Amber Alert remained in place Sunday night. Also, Schepps Dairy and CrimeStoppers are offering a total of $15,000 for information in the case.

Daisja's mother, Tamaira Creagh, 19, told police that late Tuesday night a man entered her Far North Dallas apartment while the father was not there, tried to sexually assault her and then kidnapped the child.

Investigators said from the beginning that the parents were providing conflicting accounts. Creagh, who is pregnant, said the attacker said nothing, and she could not provide a detailed description of him.

Authorities searched the area by foot and helicopter but came up with nothing.

"The initial investigation did not yield anything of importance," said Lt. C.L. Williams of the crimes against children unit. "We were not able to verify that the child was taken, we were not able to find the child. We had very scant information on which to base a search."

The investigation picked up steam Saturday morning when Creagh recanted her original account and provided new information, police said.

"We now have uncorroborated evidence or testimony that the child was not taken in a kidnapping but actually [had] been killed," Williams said.

Investigators spent the weekend searching more areas, including Lewisville Lake on Sunday, police said.

"We have been looking at length in a variety of places where the evidence suggests we should look," Williams said.

Alandus Weaver's uncle Rudy Oliver said the family has not been given details of the accusations that led to Weaver's arrest.

"We're still not understanding what's going on because one person is locked up and one person is free," Oliver said.

Weaver thinks Creagh is trying to blame him for whatever happened to their daughter, Oliver said.

"He believes that they're trying to turn it around and pin it on him," said Oliver, who added that family members still believe Daisja could be found alive.

Creagh could not be reached for comment Sunday. Last week, she criticized the police search in an interview with WFAA-TV (Channel .

"They're looking in the wrong area," she said as she sobbed. "They need to be looking where it happened."

"I just want whoever has my little girl to bring her back," Creagh said.

Daisja is black and has black hair and brown eyes. She weighs about 20 pounds, is about 2 feet 4 inches tall and was last seen wearing a red hoodie.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 214-671-4268 or 214-671-4250.

Father of missing infant jailed in Dallas

02:48 AM CDT on Monday, June 15, 2009


Search Video:    DALLAS — The father of an eight-month-old girl who has been missing since late Tuesday night has been jailed and is considered a suspect in her disappearance, police said Sunday.

Alandus Weaver, 20, was booked into the Dallas County Jail at 10:55 p.m. Saturday and charged with tampering with physical evidence to impair an investigation. He is also being held on an outstanding warrant out of Richardson.

"He looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Dad, I do not know where this kid's at,'" said Alandus Weaver Sr., the suspect's father.

Dallas police spokesman Kevin Janse confirmed to News 8 that Weaver is a suspect in Daisja Weaver's disappearance.

"[The mom] recanted her story about the kidnapping and we know that didn't take place," Janse said.

Daisja was reported missing by her parents at 11:30 p.m. on June 9. Daisja's mother, 19-year-old Tamaira Creagh, told police that the infant was snatched by an intruder who had tried to assault her in the family's far North Dallas apartment, but police said the child's parents offered conflicting statements about what had happened.

"Although uncorroborated information, she did give us some information that led us to believe that the child had been harmed by the father," Janse said.

This led an extensive search for evidence of Lake Lewisville Sunday afternoon, but police found nothing. Weaver's father challenges Creagh's story. He said he believes his granddaughter is still alive.

"Get this baby home," he said. "We want this kid back home. We really do."

Weaver is being held on a bond of $100,000.

Daisja, the subject of a national Amber Alert, remained missing Sunday morning. The $10,000 reward offered by Schepps Dairy for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for her disappearance has been raised to $15,000.

Call Dallas police at 214-671-4268 if you know anything about Daisja Weaver.

Soon after 9-month-old Daisja Weaver went missing, her father told her mother she should not have signed anything to let police inside their new apartment because there was blood inside, Dallas police say.

The father, 20-year-old Alandus Weaver, was talking to the mother, 19-year-old Tamaira Creagh in a "very threatening manner," according to a search warrant affidavit by detectives seeking to search the apartment on Marsh Lane on Wednesday.

Two detectives overheard the conversation, the affidavit says. It is not clear how much the father's alleged statements helped precipitate his arrest over the weekend.

In the affidavit, police stated they wanted to search the apartment for the baby, blood or other evidence of injury to a child. Read on for an inventory of what police say they found, some of which police say had red stains on it...

Red bath towel

Stained baby outfit "Gerber onesies" from kitchen pantry trash

stevethompson@dallasnews.com

The mother of a missing 9-month-old girl told police that she and the baby's father threw the child into Lewisville Lake, WFAA-TV has reported.


Daisja Weaver's parents told authorities she had been kidnapped last week after an intruder entered their apartment. Tamaira Creagh, 19, told police that the man tried to sexually assault her before fleeing with Daisja.

Dallas police said today that Creagh was arrested on an accusation of tampering with evidence. Authorities had arrested the father, Alandus Weaver, 20, of Dallas, Saturday on the same accusation.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Creagh said she arrived at her apartment on Marsh Lane on June 8 and found Daisja cold, WFAA-TV reported. She tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate the child.

The next day, she and Weaver, went to Lewisville Lake, tied the child's body to a sandbag and threw her off a bridge and into the water, the television station reported.

Police have searched the couple's apartment for evidence. According to court documents, a witness said Weaver told Creagh that she should not have let police search their home because there was blood inside.

I am so sorry baby Daisja. I am heartbroken.

Search For Missing Texas Infant Focuses Around I-35 Bridge Over Lake

DALLAS (June 15, 2009)—The search for a missing Texas infant who’s the focus of an Amber Alert was focused Monday around the Interstate 35 bridge over Lewisville Lake where authorities now think the baby girl’s parents threw her body.

An arrest warrant document shows that the mother of 9-month-old Daisja Weaver told police that she arrived home on June 15 to find the infant dead and cold, WFAA-TV reports.

 
She said attempts to use CPR to revive the child failed.

Jamaira Creagh, 19, told investigators that she and the baby’s father, Alandus Weaver, 20, tied a sandbag to the baby’s body and threw it over a bridge railing into the lake.

Creagh was arrested Monday on a charge of tampering with evidcence.

The search of the lake started Sunday after Weaver’s arrest late Saturday on a charge of tampering with physical evidence to impair an investigation.

Creagh told police last week that a man who broke into her apartment and attempted to sexually assault her grabbed the infant and ran after she fought him off.

She recanted the story on Sunday, WFAA reported.

Despite the revelations, the Amber Alert for the infant remains in effect.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Dallas Police Department at (214) 671-4268.

(the June 15th date is a typo...the last article said she found her dead on June 8th.)

[Leroy]

So they left a nine month old child home alone....then came home and she was dead??  I am willing to bet that this story is yet another lie....my gut says this father harmed her intentionally
