MISSING/FOUND DEAD: Baby Elaina - Toledo

[HairOfTheDog]

Hoping Elaina is found alive!

Me too, Cars. But, it's not looking good, imo.

Angela's stepfather, who is supporting her, was interviewed by the Toledo Blade and says that Angela should have cooperated and been honest with police from the start. He has always believed that Elaina is dead, not missing. Why? IDK. But, he knows his daughter and the circumstances better than most. I think he believes that Angela's boyfriend, Steven King, fatally injured the baby and that Angela is covering for him. JMO.

Angela was a hot mess at her arraignment. Given that she's an emotional wreck, it's more likely LE can get her to crack as to what really went down on June 2^nd while they have her incarcerated for child endangerment. Hoping so anyway.

Snip:
“She’s guilty of not taking care of that baby like she should have,” Mr. Schiewe (Angela's stepfather) said. “She should have taken that baby to the hospital ... ”

Mr. Schiewe said Mrs. Steinfurth told him her boyfriend, Steven King II, dropped the girl. She reportedly told her stepfather she does not know where the girl is.

“The condition of the baby and the severity of the injuries, I can’t tell ya,” Toledo police Capt. Wes Bombrys said during a news conference Thursday. “We don’t know. The location of Elaina, we still don’t know, and that’s why we say it’s still an ongoing investigation.”

The captain said the case is still a missing-person investigation and has not been reclassified as a homicide. He declined to comment on who possibly injured the young girl. “We’ve charged her at this point with what we believe is appropriate,” he said. “Additional charges? Possibly. May not. … Wherever our investigation leads us, we’re going to continue searching for her.”

The girl’s father, Terry Steinfurth, Jr., and paternal grandfather, Terry Steinfurth, Sr., held a news conference Thursday night at the East Toledo Family Center.

When asked about his estranged wife’s involvement, the younger Mr. Steinfurth said he did not want to speculate. “I’m not gonna bash anybody,” he said. “I feel justice is being served. She made several mistakes.”
