Family and friends of a woman who went missing in Indiana in October are desperately trying to bring her back. 25-year-old Emma Baum, a pregnant mother of four, was last seen at her boyfriend’s house in Gary, Indana, on October 10, her family said.
“We are looking for my sister. She was 1 centimeter dilated on October 4. She has been missing since October 10,” Baum’s sister, Abigale Smith, said at a press conference on Friday, November 15, New York Post reported.“At this point, we have done everything we can, and now we ask the public to please help us.”
Jamie Baum, Emma’s mother, suspects her daughter’s boyfriend and believes he is somehow involved in her disappearance. “I would like my daughter home. We miss her. Her babies need her. Her family needs her,” she said.
Gary police Commander Jack Hamady revealed that Emma’s boyfriend has been taken into custody in connection to an unrelated case, for a failure-to-appear warrant. A missing persons report for Emma was filed only on October 28, 18 days after she was last seen.
