re: MI Amber Alert Update

Quoting Amy{Mama x3}:" god WTF did he do with her? is the mom a suspect at all? or is she innocent"

I haven't heard anything about the mother being a suspect.

I don't even want to imagine what he might have done to/with her

I dont think she had anything to do with it. I believe he drove off with the baby in the car after an argument.

This makes me sick to my stomach. My LO is around the same age

hopefully he "gave" her to a family member, like an unsuspecting grandma or something. but you'd think she'd be suspicious. hell, IDK. i hope she's ok somehow

That could be plausible (I even said that to SO last week), except that after a week of it being ALL over the news/newspapers here and even on billboards, etc, you think that "grandma" or whomever would have come forward with her.

But then again, why would they have found the clothes she was last seen in if she was in someone elses care?

yeah, thats the sad questionable part

They've supposedly found blood drops near the guys house, they aren't sure if he's the father or not. I believe the mom is not a suspect at all, they had been arguing and he took off with the baby and her phone and was seen with the child after taking off with her. It has been over a week, I'm hoping she's ok, but things aren't looking good  

mos of my cincinnati friends on FB have fliers posted on their accounts for her. just saw this

Quoting kaℓaina.:"   i hope that little girl is still alive. ugh, this world and the nasty people in it make me sick."

and so close to home   W T F is WRONG with people?!  

just saw this on the baby Kate FB page:

"Courtland told 24 Hour News 8 she left the phone in Phillips' car when he was at her apartment in Ludington, and when she came back, Phillips and Katherine were gone. The phone, she said, was turned off, and authorities were not able to get a GPS track from it.

This should answer the question on the cell phone. "




Well smurf.  


Although...if I'm not mistaken, didn't they already find the car? Not sure why the cell phone would be with the baby, but maybe it would have helped to pinpoint an area closer to where she is. No such luck there now  

The blood is not human.

Good news, no matter how small

Just what happened to this little girl and where is she now?

That’s what police are trying to determine.

They, with the help of firefighters and other law enforcement authorities — 70 to 80 so far — continue to search areas they think may be of interest, including several locations this weekend.

Ludington Police Chief Mark Barnett said the last he knew about 140 tips on the case had come in. When a tip comes in, Barnett said, an investigator contacts the person who submitted it and tries to glean any additional information. Based on what the tip is, and if it fits in with the case, a disposition is written and police look into it further.

Police did confirm during the weekend the clothes baby Kate was described as wearing Wednesday have been found. Police did not say where exactly they were, whether they were with Sean or found separately from him.

They did not elaborate what that might mean for the case.

In addition to searches done by public safety personnel, Kate’s family has also searched for her.

“We all have the same goal,” Barnett said of the family’s search project.

The loved ones and law enforcement officers involved all want the same thing: find baby Kate.

Timeline :
Just after 1 p.m. Wednesday, police say Kate’s mother, Ariel Courtland, and kidnapping suspect Sean Phillips got into an argument outside of Courtland’s Tinkham Avenue apartment.

Sean was seen at Wendy’s on U.S. 10 shortly after 1 p.m., also. Police believe he went to Wendy’s after he left Courtland’s apartment.

Police located Sean at his parents house on Millerton Road in Victory Township at “roughly” 4 p.m. The baby was not with him.

Police need tips to determine where he may have gone with the baby in that time period. He was driving a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue four-door vehicle, which is now in police possession.

Suspect :
Sean Michael Phillips’ attorney, Annette Smedley, has not returned phone calls or email. His family has not yet returned a phone call.

He is in jail on a kidnapping charge and has invoked his constitutional rights not to share information with law enforcement. His bond is set at $500,000.
