- 0:57Speaker 1: I'm going to go to Emma's mother, Jamie Baum. Jamie,
- 1:02Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Also with Jamie is
- 1:05Speaker 1: Emma's father, Jason Waddell and sister Abby. To all of you,
- 1:11Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. I've just learned about
- 1:15Speaker 1: Emma's disappearance. I'm very curious. I know that she's been
- 1:20Speaker 1: gone several weeks at this point. But the first thing
- 1:23Speaker 1: I want to do, Jamie is get her photo out there.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Emma gorgeous, stunning inside and out.
- 1:31Speaker 3: A real girly girl. She loved putting on makeup and
- 1:36Speaker 3: dressing up.
- 1:37Speaker 1: She loved different styles, wearing wigs, just everything fashion. Now,
- 1:46Speaker 1: at nine months pregnant, seemingly has vanished straight back out
- 1:54Speaker 1: to Jamie Baum. First of all, tell me about the pregnancy.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Is it correct that she was at one centimeter when
- 2:03Speaker 3: she gets missing? Yes, she was.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Tell me about her pregnancy. Has it been a difficult pregnancy?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Has it been high risk? What can you tell me?
- 2:13Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to imagine. Is she in some hospitals somewhere?
- 2:17Speaker 1: Has she had the baby? What is behind all of this?
- 2:21Speaker 1: How do you just vanish at.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Nine months pregnant?
- 2:24Speaker 1: I could hardly walk at six months pregnant with twins,
- 2:28Speaker 1: So how does a pregnant young she's just twenty five,
- 2:32Speaker 1: a young woman just seemingly disappear.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Tell me about her pregnancy.
- 2:38Speaker 2: She she's had a good pregnancy. She's just dilated. When
- 2:42Speaker 2: she went. We tried to have her stay home, as
- 2:45Speaker 2: she ended up going out.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Right now, her children want to know where's a mommy again?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Joining me in All Star panel to make sense of
- 2:56Speaker 1: what we know right now.
- 2:57Speaker 4: But listen, we've all gathered here today because We are
- 3:00Speaker 4: looking for my sister. She is one centimeter dilated on
- 3:04Speaker 4: October fourth. She has been missing since October ten. My
- 3:08Speaker 4: sister is.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Beautiful, She's energetic. She reaches for this.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Guy just like a sunflower, which is her favorite.
- 3:16Speaker 1: You're seeing that from our friends at ABC seven joining
- 3:19Speaker 1: me in addition to Emma's mother Jamie, father Jason, and
- 3:23Speaker 1: sister Abby. Lisette gian is joining us host of Caase
- 3:30Speaker 1: Files Chicago and you can find her at Tase Files Chicago.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Lisette, thank you for being with us.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Lisa, tell me about the area from which she goes missing.
- 3:41Speaker 3: This is Gary, Indiana. Is it in the city.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Is it the metropolitan area around the city.
- 3:47Speaker 6: This is in the city, Nancy, It's in a more
- 3:50Speaker 6: dilapidated area. We're talking about twenty fifth block of Connecticut Street,
- 3:55Speaker 6: which there are a lot of empty buildings around. There's
- 3:58Speaker 6: a lot of empty land and wooded area. Yea there,
- 4:00Speaker 6: So it is, you know, part of the city.
- 4:04Speaker 7: One of the concerns.
- 4:05Speaker 6: That is also very near our expressways here, and of
- 4:08Speaker 6: course we're known as the crossroads of America in this area.
- 4:10Speaker 6: So you know, the thought of maybe her, you know,
- 4:13Speaker 6: being even gone on that highway is actually a concern too.
- 4:17Speaker 3: You're absolutely correct. Listen to this.
- 4:19Speaker 8: Emma Baum was last seen near twenty fifth Avenue in
- 4:21Speaker 8: Connecticut Street, about two miles directly south of downtown Gary, Indiana.
- 4:25Speaker 8: It's been described as a dismal and desolate area. Baum
- 4:29Speaker 8: was visiting a home in the neighborhood. Her friends and
- 4:31Speaker 8: family have been there scouring abandoned homes looking for her
- 4:34Speaker 8: and for clues into her disappearance.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Joining me in addition to the family analysta Gian Brian
- 4:41Speaker 1: Fitzgibbons is with us Director Operations USPA Nationwide Security, leading
- 4:48Speaker 1: a team of investigators specializing and finding missing people. You
- 4:51Speaker 1: can find him at USPA security dot com. Brian, thank
- 4:57Speaker 1: you for being with us. I've got all sorts of
- 4:59Speaker 1: thought colliding in my head regarding the disappearance of twenty
- 5:02Speaker 1: five year old, nine month pregnant Emma Baum. Number one
- 5:07Speaker 1: a case I'm sure you're very familiar with, and that
- 5:11Speaker 1: is the case of Shasta and Dylan Gronie who go
- 5:15Speaker 1: missing out of Cord Delane, Idaho. Why what does that
- 5:19Speaker 1: have to do with Emma's disappearance? If you could control room,
- 5:23Speaker 1: please show me that map again. If you look down
- 5:27Speaker 1: at an aerial off cord delane. You see nothing but green,
- 5:32Speaker 1: densely wooded trees.
- 5:35Speaker 3: That's all you see. Running through that very rural area heavily.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Forested is an interstate. What happened to these two children?
- 5:46Speaker 1: A guy a perv driving down the interstate gets a
- 5:51Speaker 1: glimpse of Shasta gronee about eleven years old, and little
- 5:57Speaker 1: brother Dylan gets the glimpse through the trees of them
- 6:01Speaker 1: at an above ground pool. He goes and lies in wait,
- 6:06Speaker 1: kills the whole family to abduct the children, ultimately killing
- 6:12Speaker 1: Dylan as well.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Shasta lived.
- 6:15Speaker 1: After our program broadcasts the photos, a woman in a
- 6:20Speaker 1: convenience store spotted Shasta with her attacker and call.
- 6:26Speaker 3: The tip line.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Okay, the significance of that interstate cannot be emphasized enough,
- 6:36Speaker 1: explain Brian.
- 6:38Speaker 9: To have a main thoroughfare like that so close to
- 6:41Speaker 9: where Emma was last seeing is very concerning because she
- 6:46Speaker 9: could move at a high rate of speed to get
- 6:49Speaker 9: away from that area. And complicating factor even further is
- 6:54Speaker 9: the phone that she was holding at the time did
- 6:57Speaker 9: not have served and connected.
- 6:59Speaker 10: So even though it's.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Yes, that's a whole another can of worms. The cell
- 7:03Speaker 1: phone issue but Brian, just think about it. Sixty miles
- 7:09Speaker 1: an hour if she was in a vehicle, that's how
- 7:14Speaker 1: quickly she'd be gone. At one centimeter dilated just before
- 7:18Speaker 1: her disappearance. Look at Emma five to three, one hundred
- 7:22Speaker 1: and thirty six pounds, nine months pregnant, brown hair, light
- 7:26Speaker 1: brown hair, blondish hair and eyes, brown eyes.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Tattoos you see one right there. Now.
- 7:34Speaker 1: She loves to dress up and wear different colored wigs.
- 7:38Speaker 1: That's just her. What is she wearing right now? We
- 7:42Speaker 1: cannot project that there you see her and other shots
- 7:47Speaker 1: you may see her with short, light brown hair.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Just look at her face. If I could show her
- 7:53Speaker 3: face again.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And specifically, specifically, I want to see a show of
- 8:00Speaker 1: that tattoo along her neck and collar bone, because regardless
- 8:05Speaker 1: of how she's got her hair done, that is something
- 8:08Speaker 1: that will not change.
- 8:10Speaker 3: To Jamie, this is Emma's mom. What is that there?
- 8:14Speaker 1: She is with a brown here with a brown wig. Jamie,
- 8:17Speaker 1: what is the tattoo? It looks like a sunrise?
- 8:20Speaker 2: It is, Yes, it is a sunrise.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Emma is a natural brunette, but often has her hair
- 8:28Speaker 1: like this.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Now the other case I want to bring up to you, Brian, Fitzgibbons.
- 8:33Speaker 1: We just heard Lizette Gin joining us from Case Files Chicago,
- 8:39Speaker 1: talking about multiple abandoned homes in the area where she
- 8:44Speaker 1: was last visiting friends. In that neighborhood, there are some
- 8:49Speaker 1: abandoned homes, and it brings to mind a case that
- 8:52Speaker 1: I covered extensively, the disappearance of a Leanna Defreese, a
- 8:57Speaker 1: schoolgirl on her way to school. Ultimately found she had
- 9:03Speaker 1: been tortured. She was killed in an abandoned home. Brian
- 9:09Speaker 1: fitz Gibbons, police must go through every single abandoned home
- 9:15Speaker 1: in that area, explain the danger.
- 9:19Speaker 10: There's a lot of inherent danger there.
- 9:21Speaker 9: First of all, Gary, Indiana is a dangerous place with
- 9:25Speaker 9: all these abandoned homes. Nancy, you complicate search efforts, particularly
- 9:30Speaker 9: for volunteers. Police need to get on the ground there
- 9:36Speaker 9: in that vicinity of twenty fifth in Connecticut and start
- 9:39Speaker 9: searching some of those abandoned properties immediately.
- 9:42Speaker 1: How do you go about doing that? I mean, this
- 9:44Speaker 1: is your expertise. You don't just drive by for Pete's sake.
- 9:47Speaker 1: The problem I see with an abandoned home is that
- 9:50Speaker 1: a victim can be taken in there, They can be raped,
- 9:52Speaker 1: they can be murdered.
- 9:53Speaker 3: They can be.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Held hostage and no one's going in and out. People
- 9:57Speaker 1: stay away from abandoned homes. Who wants to get near it.
- 10:00Speaker 1: You don't know what's in there. They're deemed unsafe, so
- 10:03Speaker 1: people can be in there and nobody knows.
- 10:06Speaker 9: Yeah, the city should have access to these abandoned properties
- 10:10Speaker 9: without needing a search warrant. In many cases they will
- 10:15Speaker 9: indeed have that access, so I don't see that being
- 10:19Speaker 9: an issue in this case.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Another case that is startlingly similar is that of a
- 10:25Speaker 1: young mom, a Memphis mom, Eliza Fletcher, outlining her own business.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Eliza was jogging.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Here, we have Emma innocently visiting a friend and she
- 10:38Speaker 1: goes missing. Eliza goes missing, she was found in an
- 10:41Speaker 1: abandoned home that no one thought to look in. I
- 10:45Speaker 1: would advise some sort of a grid search at this point.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Brian Fitzgibbons, a grid search of this entire area.
- 10:51Speaker 9: Absolutely, and it's listen, there are quite a few abandoned
- 10:55Speaker 9: homes in that vicinity, but this is not a massive.
- 10:59Speaker 10: Area around the place that she was last seeing. And
- 11:02Speaker 10: we have to think if something did happen.
- 11:04Speaker 9: To her, she would have had to be moved very
- 11:07Speaker 9: close by that she wouldn't have been moved too far away.
- 11:10Speaker 1: To Abby Smith joining me. This is Emma's sister, along
- 11:13Speaker 1: with mom, Jamie. Abby, tell me about the phone, the
- 11:17Speaker 1: phone that Emma had.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Emma used a lot of the WIFEI data, so she
- 11:22Speaker 5: should be able to connect to some sort of cell
- 11:25Speaker 5: tower or some sort of area where we'd be able
- 11:29Speaker 5: to determine whether or not that phone was moved. I
- 11:31Speaker 5: thought her last message was at five point thirty two pm,
- 11:37Speaker 5: and then she's just gone completely blank. We haven't had
- 11:40Speaker 5: any contact. No one has said anything. We haven't come
- 11:45Speaker 5: up no Facebook, no Snapchat, no like, no anything, and
- 11:52Speaker 5: we have not found the phone.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Now, hold on right there, right there, hold on, hold on,
- 11:56Speaker 1: I've got a dissect everything you're saying, Abby is Emma Sis. Guys,
- 12:00Speaker 1: Please help us, Please help us. The family contacted me.
- 12:06Speaker 1: We read about the case online. I have seen no
- 12:10Speaker 1: other media coverage of Emma's case. The family is desperate tonight,
- 12:15Speaker 1: joining together, the dad, the mom, the sister, begging for help,
- 12:20Speaker 1: begging for your help. I want to give you a
- 12:22Speaker 1: couple of numbers. Right now here is a toll free number.

- 13:05Speaker 1: for help. They have been out searching, they have been
- 13:09Speaker 1: out putting up flyers. Won't you help us? Help them
- 13:15Speaker 1: to Sister Abby? I want to understand a little bit
- 13:18Speaker 1: more about her cell phone now.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Was this a prepaid phone? You said she was using
- 13:24Speaker 3: Wi Fi? Was she out of minutes? Help me understand
- 13:27Speaker 3: what's happening.
- 13:28Speaker 5: She's going to turn it on. I believe she was
- 13:31Speaker 5: using the phone company Boost. Was it the Boost I Boost?
- 13:36Speaker 5: So like it's one of the prepaid phones. She had
- 13:39Speaker 5: no minutes, so she did actively use the WiFi. She
- 13:44Speaker 5: would connect anywhere she could could so she could keep
- 13:48Speaker 5: in contact with everybody.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Hold on just a second, Abby, you cut out on me?
- 13:53Speaker 1: Would would you just start that over place. I need
- 13:55Speaker 1: to hear every word. Was she using a prepaid phone, yes,
- 14:01Speaker 1: through Boost Mobile?
- 14:02Speaker 3: Okay, prepaid phone Boost Mobile? Had she run out as
- 14:08Speaker 3: minus yes, ma'am.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Okay, So let me understand, Brian Fitzgibbons, I don't have
- 14:14Speaker 1: a prepaid phone.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Explain to me how that works quickly.
- 14:18Speaker 9: Whether your phone has minutes or not, it's still communicating
- 14:21Speaker 9: to cell phone towers. Anybody who has an old phone
- 14:25Speaker 9: knows you can still make an emergency call from it.
- 14:27Speaker 9: It's not sending as much information, it's not going to
- 14:30Speaker 9: be as precise, but that phone would have still been
- 14:33Speaker 9: communicating with cell phone towers urgent.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Are you telling me, Brian that even though she was
- 14:41Speaker 1: out as minutes, her phone could still be pinged.
- 14:45Speaker 10: That is correct, Nancy, That's what.
- 14:47Speaker 3: I was getting at.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I'm sorry to cut you off, Abby, but that's what
- 14:51Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out. To Hey, with the prepaid
- 14:53Speaker 1: minutes and the blaw and the blaw, I want to
- 14:56Speaker 1: get a ping. I want a ping on this phone.
- 14:59Speaker 1: So do you belie Abby, she had simply run out
- 15:01Speaker 1: of minutes? Was the phone cut off or was the
- 15:05Speaker 1: phone dead at a battery? Because the prepaid aspect is irrelevant.
- 15:10Speaker 1: According to Fitzgibbons, Well, like.
- 15:12Speaker 5: You said, she was a girly girl, so she would
- 15:15Speaker 5: not have a dead phone. It just isn't like her
- 15:18Speaker 5: to walk around without a cell phone, especially being as
- 15:22Speaker 5: pregnant as she was. It makes no sense.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Why she would not have it.
- 15:28Speaker 5: Yes, way more responsible than that.
- 15:30Speaker 1: When you say she was very responsible to mom Jamie Baum,
- 15:34Speaker 1: what do you mean she was more responsible than that.
- 15:36Speaker 2: She just was honest. She wouldn't have not called any
- 15:41Speaker 2: of us. We talked to her daily. She has a
- 15:45Speaker 2: huge family and we all stay connected all the time.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Very responsible, a great mom, pregnant nine months Brian, I
- 15:56Speaker 1: just want to nail something down, Okay.
- 15:58Speaker 3: So if she had her phone with her, and she.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Like most of us, is very careful about keeping it charged,
- 16:06Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, Brian, if she had run out of minutes,
- 16:11Speaker 1: is that correct?
- 16:12Speaker 10: That's correct.
- 16:13Speaker 9: It changes things a bit because it's not communicating with
- 16:16Speaker 9: the towers as much as a phone that has service.
- 16:20Speaker 9: So on your phone that has service, you might have
- 16:22Speaker 9: one hundred different applications that are communicating out to the.
- 16:28Speaker 10: Internet and through the tower all right.
- 16:30Speaker 9: When that service is off, you only have that emergency
- 16:33Speaker 9: beacon in GPS and the ability to make a call
- 16:37Speaker 9: to the cell phone company back to.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Sister Abby joining us.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Abby, my control room just came into my ear and
- 16:44Speaker 1: told me that Emma's father, Jason, actually had to walk
- 16:50Speaker 1: out of the room.
- 16:52Speaker 3: What happened.
- 16:53Speaker 5: It's a lot emotionally, this is one of the hardest
- 16:56Speaker 5: things our family has ever dealt with.
- 16:58Speaker 3: I own it say.
- 17:00Speaker 5: He wants to admit that he feels broken or unable
- 17:05Speaker 5: to do anything to help return, and it's this is breaking,
- 17:11Speaker 5: It's breaking everybody.
- 17:13Speaker 3: He's broken. Isn't your dad a war vet?
- 17:16Speaker 9: Yes?
- 17:17Speaker 3: Yes? What war was? He him?
- 17:19Speaker 5: Iraq much Iraq.
- 17:22Speaker 1: So this is a man that's faced the enemy far
- 17:25Speaker 1: from home and fought bravely, and he cannot talk about
- 17:31Speaker 1: Emma's disappearance.
- 17:33Speaker 3: What has this done to him? What has this done
- 17:36Speaker 3: to him?
- 17:36Speaker 5: He wants to do when it is right, so we
- 17:39Speaker 5: can make sure we have the correct justice.
- 17:41Speaker 3: And it's just really hard emotionally.
- 17:43Speaker 5: He feels like his country has turned to the back
- 17:46Speaker 5: on his children, and he has put all the effort
- 17:50Speaker 5: into making it safe for everybody, and it's not. It's
- 17:53Speaker 5: still not. So it's probably hurting him in a way
- 17:57Speaker 5: that none of us will ever understand, but we see it.
- 18:00Speaker 1: For those of you joining us and just joining us now,
- 18:04Speaker 1: there is a desperate search right now in Gary, Indiana
- 18:07Speaker 1: and beyond for a twenty five year old pregnant mom,
- 18:12Speaker 1: Emma Baum.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Please help us.
- 18:15Speaker 8: The search for Bomb has been extensive. Police say three
- 18:18Speaker 8: primary locations have come up in the investigation, and those
- 18:21Speaker 8: searches have been exhausted. CA nines brought in on the
- 18:24Speaker 8: search found nothing. Multiple interviews have been conducted as volunteers
- 18:28Speaker 8: search overgrown fields, knock on doors, and pass out flyers.
- 18:31Speaker 8: Officers are now scouring old video footage in the area
- 18:34Speaker 8: where Bomb went missing.
- 18:35Speaker 1: A twenty five year old mother, nine months pregnant is missing.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Stunningly, I have learned that the number one.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Cause of death amongst pregnant women in the US is homicide.
- 18:52Speaker 1: It's not a stroke, it's not blood pressure, it's not
- 18:55Speaker 1: a heart attack.
- 18:57Speaker 3: It's homicide. When I heard that, I.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Actually tracked down the first author, a doctor that wrote that,
- 19:07Speaker 1: because I couldn't believe it. As I recall she was
- 19:09Speaker 1: with the New England Journal of Medicine. I thought, certainly
- 19:12Speaker 1: I had it wrong. I didn't.
- 19:15Speaker 3: She didn't. It's true. Look at Emma Baum. Please look
- 19:21Speaker 3: at Emma Bahm.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I know we tonight sound angry and agitated because we are.
- 19:29Speaker 1: She cannot just vanish off the face of the earth.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Who saw a nine months pregnant woman, her beautiful Emma.
- 19:40Speaker 3: We know that her.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Phone should still be pinging, but apparently it's not. We
- 19:48Speaker 1: know that, we know there have been searches with canines
- 19:51Speaker 1: they found nothing. Volunteers searching overgrown fields, knocking on doors,
- 19:56Speaker 1: passing out flyers. We know officers say they are scouring
- 20:01Speaker 1: old video footage in the area from which she went missing.
- 20:05Speaker 1: No sign of Emma. I don't believe in supernatural reasons
- 20:12Speaker 1: for disappearances or reappearances. This is very real, and someone
- 20:18Speaker 1: very real and very much alive knows where is Emma?
- 20:24Speaker 1: Joining me in All Star Panel. But in addition to Sister Abby,
- 20:30Speaker 1: hopefully father Jason can rejoin us. This has triggered so
- 20:36Speaker 1: much for him. He is in a rocky.

- 20:56Speaker 1: your help. Back to Lisette Yihan joining us host of

- 21:05Speaker 1: rates now. While Indiana itself has one of the lower
- 21:12Speaker 1: national crime rates, Gary not so much when it comes
- 21:16Speaker 1: to violent crime twenty seventh and violent crime nationally explained.
- 21:22Speaker 6: The area of Gary is, you know, very it is
- 21:26Speaker 6: very urban, and there is a lot of migration that
- 21:29Speaker 6: comes through from the city of Chicago, people that are
- 21:32Speaker 6: relocated there to hear. So it's interesting and we know
- 21:34Speaker 6: that Chicago has some issues of its own and some
- 21:37Speaker 6: of those people come and bring some of those issues.
- 21:39Speaker 6: So we were adding that onto the already on top
- 21:43Speaker 6: of the issues that Gary's already had. The other problem
- 21:47Speaker 6: is is that there is a flight I mean, people
- 21:49Speaker 6: aren't living in Gary no more. People aren't putting a
- 21:51Speaker 6: lot of businesses there like they used to, and so
- 21:54Speaker 6: people are scavenging for jobs. People have to move out
- 21:57Speaker 6: to find other jobs. The school system, there's plenty of
- 22:00Speaker 6: schools that are not open anymore. In fact, one of
- 22:03Speaker 6: them that came into question, Pulaski School, which is a
- 22:07Speaker 6: point of interest for police, was set on fire recently,
- 22:11Speaker 6: and so we have in addition to abandoned buildings, we
- 22:14Speaker 6: have abandoned schools now as well. So that all plays
- 22:18Speaker 6: into the part of the crime and the dilapidation of
- 22:21Speaker 6: the city of Gary.
- 22:22Speaker 1: All of what Lisa just told us is true, but
- 22:24Speaker 1: that leaves me still asking where is this beautiful girl?
- 22:28Speaker 3: At one centimeter dilation Listen.
- 22:32Speaker 8: Emma Bomb comes from a very close, big family with
- 22:35Speaker 8: brothers and sisters for just about every day of the week.
- 22:38Speaker 8: She loves the closeness they share now as adults, and
- 22:41Speaker 8: she's creating her own large family with three children Camden six,
- 22:45Speaker 8: Lucas three, Amber, two, and her fourth is on the way.
- 22:48Speaker 8: Her sister Abigail says, Emma is energetic, always reaching for
- 22:52Speaker 8: the sky like a sunflower, which is her favorite flower.
- 22:55Speaker 8: Emma is very creative with her appearance, as she usually
- 22:58Speaker 8: wears wigs of all kinds of colors and styles over
- 23:02Speaker 8: her naturally brown hair. She never looks the same for
- 23:05Speaker 8: very long.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Emma's family is desperately pushing for more resources to be
- 23:10Speaker 1: put toward finding Emma Listen.
- 23:13Speaker 8: Walm's family is pushing for more resources to be given
- 23:16Speaker 8: to the search effort. Sister Abby Smith says the family
- 23:19Speaker 8: has put their own lives at risk searching abandoned houses
- 23:21Speaker 8: and digging dir piles. According to the Gary Police Commander,
- 23:24Speaker 8: there are license plate reading cameras and gunshot detection technology,
- 23:28Speaker 8: but no police observation device cameras or pod cameras in
- 23:32Speaker 8: the area Bomb was last seen in. Another sister, Haileybaum,
- 23:35Speaker 8: says she has stopped people in their cars, stop people walking,
- 23:39Speaker 8: talking to everyone possible. They're now turning to the public
- 23:42Speaker 8: for help. Emma's mother, Jamie Baum, says quote, We're always
- 23:45Speaker 8: going to look for I'm never going to stop looking
- 23:48Speaker 8: for her.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Let me understand, Jamie Baum, this is Emma's mother joining us.
- 23:53Speaker 3: You and Abby have been.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Stopping cars asking if anyone has seen Emma.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Tell me about this.
- 24:02Speaker 2: We've been out every day, all day twenty for twenty
- 24:05Speaker 2: four seven, walking in the middle of the road, going
- 24:08Speaker 2: in houses, just getting anyone that we can, holding her
- 24:13Speaker 2: sign up to every window.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Does her Page bom joining us in addition to Abby
- 24:21Speaker 1: and Jamie Page, tell me about your family's effort on
- 24:25Speaker 1: your own without police or sheriffs trying to find Emma.
- 24:30Speaker 2: We've been searching every day.
- 24:34Speaker 5: We haven't found any answers, but we're gonna do.
- 24:40Speaker 3: She keep trying.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Abby, tell me about what you what is going through
- 24:45Speaker 1: your mind when you're out in the middle of the road,
- 24:48Speaker 1: running up to cars saying have you seen my sister
- 24:52Speaker 1: and showing her pictures.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Hoping that someone is gonna give us an answer, that
- 24:59Speaker 5: someone knows something that maybe if they run us over,
- 25:04Speaker 5: the look harder because that could be the guy running
- 25:07Speaker 5: from the situation.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Well, I don't understand why you have to be out
- 25:12Speaker 1: going car to car and door to door and in
- 25:16Speaker 1: abandoned homes looking for Emma Jamie. Why are your daughters
- 25:22Speaker 1: doing the police work.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Well, we have to find her somehow, and if we
- 25:28Speaker 2: have to do it, that's it's gonna happen. Police aren't
- 25:31Speaker 2: out there doing going through houses, so we are.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Why why aren't they? Have you asked them.
- 25:37Speaker 2: That yes, they said, they said, they say they're doing
- 25:43Speaker 2: their job.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Joining me is.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Greg Morse, high profile trial lawyer, partner at the law
- 25:49Speaker 1: firm of King and Morse, Palm Beach. You can find
- 25:52Speaker 1: him at kingmorselaw dot com.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Greg.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Very often you and I are on the different sides
- 25:57Speaker 1: of the fence, but I think you agree with me
- 26:00Speaker 1: that there's an issue here, a disturbing issue. How can you,
- 26:04Speaker 1: without antagonizing or agitating law enforcement, how can you get
- 26:11Speaker 1: them to do more? And what do you do as
- 26:13Speaker 1: a family. If you're not getting answers, well.
- 26:17Speaker 11: It is surprising in this one. I looked into it.
- 26:20Speaker 11: What I haven't read the police have been trying to do.
- 26:24Speaker 11: This country has license plates readers across the entire work.
- 26:28Speaker 11: There's an expressway that borders this There's also a port
- 26:32Speaker 11: to Lake Michigan that borders the eye. There's a lot
- 26:35Speaker 11: of opportunity for law enforcement to look at technology to
- 26:40Speaker 11: shrink the story as to where this young lady was
- 26:45Speaker 11: taken or where she went. I surprised a lot of
- 26:49Speaker 11: the mainstream media has not given very many details, which
- 26:53Speaker 11: police of course hold back some stuff to verify credibility.
- 26:58Speaker 10: I get that, But when I look at.
- 27:00Speaker 11: This area, that's unfortunately a common area in America, low
- 27:03Speaker 11: income area that's forgotten. There's a lot of industry around it.
- 27:08Speaker 11: One thing we talk about cell phone towers. That's just
- 27:12Speaker 11: one component of what it sells. Cell phones also routinely
- 27:16Speaker 11: their bluetooth will ping off of things anywhere they are.
- 27:20Speaker 11: There is a lot of data that law enforcement could
- 27:23Speaker 11: be looking at, and maybe they are. It sounds like
- 27:26Speaker 11: though from the family that they're not. So I don't
- 27:29Speaker 11: know how there hasn't been further information. There's a lot
- 27:33Speaker 11: of resources they'll go to to try to find where
- 27:36Speaker 11: this girl or what happened to lead down that path.
- 27:40Speaker 12: The family of Emma Baum says the police have not
- 27:42Speaker 12: been helpful in their efforts to find Emma. But police
- 27:45Speaker 12: say they have dedicated their search efforts to the three
- 27:47Speaker 12: primary locations that have come up during the investigation and
- 27:51Speaker 12: are now pivoting the investigation to scour old video footage
- 27:54Speaker 12: in the areas where Emma was last seen. The area
- 27:57Speaker 12: around Antoine Butler's.
- 27:59Speaker 1: House, area around the Bio Dad's home is the beginning
- 28:04Speaker 1: where she was last seen before according to him, she
- 28:07Speaker 1: left that area. But the family has made it known
- 28:13Speaker 1: that the Geary PD was not helpful to them and
- 28:18Speaker 1: their search for Emma. Now a new detective with Lake
- 28:24Speaker 1: County Homicide. Lake County Homicide is on the case and
- 28:28Speaker 1: they feel rejuvenated. They feel that someone cares about their case.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Detective Gordon's number is two one nine seven five five
- 28:40Speaker 1: three eight five five repeat two one nine seven five
- 28:45Speaker 1: five three eight fivey five. When this goes to air tonight,
- 28:48Speaker 1: please have that number emblazoned on a screen so people
- 28:51Speaker 1: can see it. To Jamie Baum. Explain to me why
- 28:56Speaker 1: you felt that the Gary, Indiana police their feet you
- 29:00Speaker 1: know what.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question.
- 29:03Speaker 1: According to a report given to me, one of the Gary,
- 29:09Speaker 1: Indiana police said to you, when Emma went missing, well,
- 29:14Speaker 1: if she's dead in a dumpster, you'll never find her.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Did not happen. I'm going to confirm that with you, Yes, ma'am,
- 29:21Speaker 3: I did.
- 29:22Speaker 2: He told he had told my daughter that if she
- 29:28Speaker 2: was gone to would not be found, and that hurt
- 29:32Speaker 2: my family.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I understand that after that you feel renewed hope because
- 29:46Speaker 1: Lake County Homicide, specifically Detective Gordon.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Is now on the case.
- 29:51Speaker 1: May I ask you what led the Gary, Indiana Police
- 29:55Speaker 1: officer to tell you in the midst of the search
- 29:58Speaker 1: of Emma, nine months pregnant, Yeah, she's dead in a dumpster,
- 30:01Speaker 1: you'll never find her.
- 30:02Speaker 3: What brought that on?
- 30:05Speaker 5: Somebody had give us some information and I had called
- 30:10Speaker 5: and asked to pass it on to him. I asked
- 30:13Speaker 5: him if he wanted it, I had it all nicely
- 30:16Speaker 5: where he could read it with the times and no
- 30:18Speaker 5: questions asked, No, cutting it.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Off perfectly, here you go. And he told me no,
- 30:25Speaker 3: not only did he not.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Need it, that if that was accurate, we would never
- 30:30Speaker 5: be able to find her. If she was domed and
- 30:33Speaker 5: shoot a garbage dump.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 30:48Speaker 1: To Brian Fitzgibbons, Director Operations USP, a nationwide security specialty
- 30:54Speaker 1: finding missing people. You know, in the midst of an investigation,
- 30:58Speaker 1: I've had victims families give me a lot of information
- 31:02Speaker 1: and sometimes I knew immediately it was not going to
- 31:05Speaker 1: be pertinent to the investigation, Like two years ago.
- 31:09Speaker 3: She got a hang up phone call, just an example.
- 31:13Speaker 1: But you don't tell the family. I don't need your information.
- 31:17Speaker 1: She's probably dead in a dumpster and you'll never find her.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Well what was he thinking?
- 31:23Speaker 9: Yeah, this defies logic, Nancy, And to the family, I'm
- 31:27Speaker 9: so sorry that you know, you had to hear that.
- 31:31Speaker 10: It's very troubling to hear that.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I mean, you take the information and you may believe, well,
- 31:37Speaker 1: this is not pertinent, but you don't say.
- 31:40Speaker 3: That to a victim's family.
- 31:42Speaker 1: You take the information, you review it, you look at it,
- 31:47Speaker 1: you study it and determine if it is.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Or is not relevant. But to say that to a.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Family with they are the ones out looking in abandoned homes.
- 31:56Speaker 3: They are the ones digging through.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Feels high in grass. They are the ones out in
- 32:01Speaker 1: the street asking drivers to help them. Joining me right
- 32:08Speaker 1: now is a renowned forensic psychologist, doctor Sherry Schwartz. You
- 32:13Speaker 1: can find her at panthermitigation dot com. Doctor Sherry. I
- 32:19Speaker 1: recall the feeling of helplessness when my fiance was murdered.
- 32:25Speaker 1: There was nothing I could do.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Nothing. That is a feeling you never get over.
- 32:34Speaker 1: This family has felt they had no ally, that no
- 32:37Speaker 1: one was helping them.
- 32:41Speaker 3: That can destroy you. Saw the father have to get
- 32:45Speaker 3: up and leave.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Jason couldn't even listen because he feels so helpless.
- 32:55Speaker 3: What is that?
- 32:55Speaker 1: How can we fight that so the family can get
- 32:58Speaker 1: back on track and find Emma.
- 33:00Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I want to say to the family,
- 33:03Speaker 7: how sorry I am for everything that you're going through.
- 33:05Speaker 7: For Jason, for dad, and for mom, and even for
- 33:09Speaker 7: the siblings. You can see the overwhelming sense of fear
- 33:13Speaker 7: and helplessness and frustration that they can't get the help
- 33:17Speaker 7: that they need from the people that we turn to
- 33:20Speaker 7: to get help. They're being told, well, you know she's dead,
- 33:24Speaker 7: she might be in a dumpster somewhere and you'll never
- 33:27Speaker 7: find her. But what they're failing to understand is that
- 33:31Speaker 7: nobody knows if she's dead, and if they don't go
- 33:34Speaker 7: out and investigate, then we're not going to know. And
- 33:37Speaker 7: it's not just missing Emma. There's a baby, possibly right
- 33:41Speaker 7: and infant baby that's missing. So from my position, there's
- 33:44Speaker 7: two people missing here. And for the family, you guys
- 33:48Speaker 7: are doing, from my perspective, everything that you can possibly do.
- 33:52Speaker 7: Just continue to stick together, that's really really important, and
- 33:56Speaker 7: support each other. Try to overcome your feelings of guilt
- 34:00Speaker 7: because you're not doing anything wrong and you didn't do
- 34:02Speaker 7: anything to cause this.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Sound guys, this has been dragging on for weeks the
- 34:07Speaker 1: disappearance of Emma Baum, and in that time, wild fantastical
- 34:13Speaker 1: theories have have emerged.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Listen.
- 34:16Speaker 8: Bobby Joe Sten is eight months pregnant. Lisa Montgomery lies
- 34:20Speaker 8: to her saying she wants to buy one of her puppies.
- 34:23Speaker 8: Montgomery drives from Melbourne, Kansas to Bobby Joe's home in Skidmore, Missouri.
- 34:27Speaker 8: Montgomery strangles the mom to be and cuts the baby
- 34:31Speaker 8: from her stomach. Lisa Montgomery is arrested the next day.
- 34:34Speaker 8: The baby girl lives and is now a teenager living
- 34:37Speaker 8: with her dad.
- 34:38Speaker 3: You think that's fantastical.
- 34:39Speaker 1: It was actually floated as a defense theory, and the
- 34:43Speaker 1: Scott Peterson murder trial dead Lacy Peterson an unborn child Connor.
- 34:52Speaker 1: These fantastical theories are not helping in the search for Emma,
- 34:56Speaker 1: but yet they continue, such as comparing the case to
- 35:00Speaker 1: a teen girl Marlon at to Lopez.
- 35:03Speaker 8: Nineteen year old Marlon and Joe Lopez is lured to
- 35:05Speaker 8: the home of Desiree and Clarissa Figueroa with the promise
- 35:09Speaker 8: of baby clothes. Once there, prosecutors say Clarissa got on
- 35:12Speaker 8: top of Marlin, continuing to strangle her for up to
- 35:15Speaker 8: five minutes. After researching how long it would take for
- 35:18Speaker 8: someone to die that way, they allegedly cut the baby
- 35:21Speaker 8: from Marlin's body, stuffed her in a plastic bag in
- 35:24Speaker 8: a hidden garbage can outside. Clarissa then claimed the baby,
- 35:27Speaker 8: with the umbilical cord and placentas still attached, was hers.
- 35:31Speaker 8: Her boyfriend is accused of helping to hide the murder
- 35:33Speaker 8: and evidence at the home.
- 35:35Speaker 12: On Friday, October eleventh, Emma Baum does not reach out
- 35:38Speaker 12: to her family members, even though they are expecting her
- 35:41Speaker 12: to come home. Emma has a phone, but it is
- 35:44Speaker 12: out of minutes, telling her mother not to worry, she
- 35:46Speaker 12: is getting minutes.
- 35:47Speaker 10: Put on the phone.
- 35:48Speaker 13: On Friday, Emma said she would be back on Friday
- 35:50Speaker 13: to do something with her six year old son, Camden.
- 35:53Speaker 13: She doesn't show and doesn't call. The family waits through
- 35:56Speaker 13: Saturday for Emma to come back, and when she isn't
- 35:59Speaker 13: home by Sunday, her mother calls Antoine Butler. Antoine told
- 36:02Speaker 13: Emma's mother, Jamie Baum, that he saw her leave with
- 36:06Speaker 13: some girl in a car.
- 36:07Speaker 1: What look, when my husband has to go out of
- 36:11Speaker 1: town for work or he has to go somewhere.
- 36:15Speaker 3: I think I know where he's going and what he's doing.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Same thing with my children. What does this mean?
- 36:21Speaker 1: The BF, the bio dad boyfriend says he quote saw
- 36:27Speaker 1: her leave with some girl in a car. Li set
- 36:32Speaker 1: Gian joining US investigative reporters, host of Case Files Chicago.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Li set again, let me understand.
- 36:41Speaker 1: That is the level of detail I've got from the
- 36:44Speaker 1: boyfriend that she left with quote.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Some girl in a car.
- 36:50Speaker 5: That's it.
- 36:51Speaker 3: That's it, Nancy.
- 36:51Speaker 6: And that's where the frustration lies is there's very little details.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Okay, hold on just a moment, Jamie Baum. This is
- 36:57Speaker 1: Emma's mother has.
- 36:58Speaker 3: The boyfriend and helping to look for Emma.
- 37:02Speaker 2: No, and his family has never reached out either.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like the way that smells to Greg
- 37:08Speaker 1: Moore joining me, high profile lawyer at King Morse as
- 37:13Speaker 1: a silk stocking law firm out of Palm Beach County. Greg,
- 37:18Speaker 1: When I look at a statement or I evaluate the
- 37:22Speaker 1: credibility of a witness, I look to see if their
- 37:26Speaker 1: statement is quote rich in detail. I can tell you
- 37:30Speaker 1: exactly what my son was wearing when he left for
- 37:33Speaker 1: school this morning, exactly, and I know what vehicle he
- 37:37Speaker 1: was driving. I can tell you exactly what my daughter
- 37:40Speaker 1: was wearing, what vehicle she was in, right down to
- 37:42Speaker 1: their backpacks, their tote bags, and their water bottles.
- 37:46Speaker 3: What is this gibberish? Some girl, a girl in a car? What?
- 37:52Speaker 10: Well?
- 37:53Speaker 11: Not everybody remembers the same detail as everyone else. However,
- 37:59Speaker 11: five years and practicing law and handling every type of case,
- 38:03Speaker 11: these type of general statements that don't aren't made in completion.
- 38:08Speaker 11: Where the car went here, I knew the person was coming.
- 38:11Speaker 11: The police generally look at that as suspect. They're not credible.
- 38:14Speaker 11: And as I mentioned before, why isn't there information about
- 38:19Speaker 11: this potential car? Why aren't there people looking into where
- 38:22Speaker 11: this car go? It's a very easy thing to follow
- 38:24Speaker 11: for police.
- 38:25Speaker 1: So of course, yes, I hear you say. Not everybody
- 38:29Speaker 1: remembers details. Did you say that.
- 38:32Speaker 10: I did say that, Nancy. Not everybody remembers the same
- 38:34Speaker 10: all differently.
- 38:35Speaker 3: My fiance Keith was murdered decades ago.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I can remember right now what he was wearing, blue Jayson,
- 38:43Speaker 1: a denim shirt.
- 38:44Speaker 3: He was going to work on a construction crew. He
- 38:46Speaker 3: was driving a white.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Lamon's and as he left, he hung his left arm
- 38:52Speaker 1: out the wind and wave goodbye to me. I remember it,
- 38:55Speaker 1: crystal clear. It's branded on my brain.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Jamie. Do you remember the last time you saw Emma. Yes,
- 39:08Speaker 3: she was wearing what did she say.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Black clothing, She had her bag strapped around, she had
- 39:15Speaker 2: her purse strapped around her chest, and she get the
- 39:19Speaker 2: huge bye.
- 39:20Speaker 6: So this should be home Toarrow.
- 39:22Speaker 1: That makes says, I understand that you represent a lot
- 39:29Speaker 1: of clients, but that is total bs man that he
- 39:33Speaker 1: all he knows is she left with some girl in
- 39:36Speaker 1: a car.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Technical legal term. I don't know if you use that
- 39:39Speaker 3: at King and Morse, but that's BS.
- 39:43Speaker 1: And I'm calling him out on this another thing, another thing.
- 39:47Speaker 3: I don't like. It's the last time she's seen.
- 39:51Speaker 1: It's at his house, Abby Smith, this is Emma's sister,
- 39:56Speaker 1: isn't that true?
- 39:58Speaker 5: That is correct? Our sister Jaden and Jewel dropped her off,
- 40:02Speaker 5: poor sure at that house to meet her boyfriend.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Now, I don't want to make an issue of this
- 40:07Speaker 1: because this is a side issue, it's a collateral issue.
- 40:10Speaker 1: But I'm curious. I'm very curious, Abby, This BS boyfriend,
- 40:16Speaker 1: Antoine Butler. Was he supportive of the pregnancy?
- 40:21Speaker 3: Was he helping her?
- 40:22Speaker 1: No?
- 40:22Speaker 5: There had been multiple times that he had asked her
- 40:25Speaker 5: to get an abortion, and that is a bath. He
- 40:28Speaker 5: didn't want it.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Well.
- 40:30Speaker 5: When mfone oue she was going into labor, she just
- 40:32Speaker 5: wanted to go more or less, make sure it confirm
- 40:35Speaker 5: and decide. She decided that no matter what, she was
- 40:38Speaker 5: going to keep the baby and it was going to
- 40:40Speaker 5: make her a better person. And then if you didn't
- 40:43Speaker 5: want to be a part of it, that she needed
- 40:46Speaker 5: to figure it out prior to fully going into labor.
- 40:49Speaker 1: So no money, he's not supporting her, He's not excited
- 40:54Speaker 1: about the baby. He wants her to have an abortion,
- 40:57Speaker 1: you know what, all of that moral flaws.
- 41:00Speaker 3: That does not make him a kidnapper or a murderer.
- 41:03Speaker 1: However, I'm very concerned about the fact, Brian Fitzgibbons uspa
- 41:12Speaker 1: that that's where she's last seen. That doesn't bother you,
- 41:16Speaker 1: and nobody can tell me what kind of car she
- 41:19Speaker 1: left in, or where she went or anything.
- 41:21Speaker 9: It's absolutely disturbing, Nancy. A vague statement like that, coupled with,
- 41:26Speaker 9: you know, potentially a motive that he didn't want her
- 41:30Speaker 9: to have the baby, and that she's having this conversation
- 41:34Speaker 9: as she's about to go into labor dilated a centimeter.
- 41:40Speaker 9: You know that that was the purpose of this conversation.
- 41:44Speaker 9: So all of this adds up to be very suspicious.
- 41:47Speaker 3: Jamie, why did she go over to his place?
- 41:52Speaker 2: I tried to keep her. I tried to ask her
- 41:54Speaker 2: not to you she wanted to talk with him over
- 41:57Speaker 2: about the baby's fighting.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Doctor Serry Schwartz, what we women go through to try
- 42:07Speaker 1: to have the Hallmark Christmas card? You know, we want
- 42:13Speaker 1: the house stick, we want the house. We want the
- 42:15Speaker 1: husband or the partner, we want the children, we want
- 42:20Speaker 1: the Turkey dinner, we want the Christmas tree.
- 42:25Speaker 3: We want it the.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Way we have grown up to think it should be right.
- 42:32Speaker 1: And I've got a feeling Emma wanted that she wanted
- 42:38Speaker 1: the bio dad to want the baby be part of
- 42:41Speaker 1: the life, be a family, and was going over to
- 42:47Speaker 1: probably try to convince him of that.
- 42:49Speaker 7: I'm sure for Emma she probably couldn't imagine that he
- 42:53Speaker 7: didn't feel the same way she felt in terms of
- 42:55Speaker 7: wanting to have this baby and parent this baby. And
- 42:59Speaker 7: so that's one of the difficulties. You're absolutely right, this
- 43:02Speaker 7: is what we crave. She's about to give birth, and
- 43:05Speaker 7: she wants to talk to them and say, don't you
- 43:08Speaker 7: want to be a part of this amazing child's life.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I think you hurt my baby. And when you find
- 43:15Speaker 2: your shoes out.
- 43:22Speaker 1: The family in so much pain now out flagging down cars,
- 43:28Speaker 1: going to abandoned buildings, walking through fields, begging for volunteers.
- 43:33Speaker 3: That from our friends at ABC seven.
- 43:36Speaker 1: The boyfriend, the bio dad in this case, Antoine Butler,
- 43:40Speaker 1: has not been named a formal suspect in the disappearance
- 43:45Speaker 1: of Emma. Emma Baum just twenty five years old, nine
