rebcoola Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm praying. My DH had an 18 yr old pregnant cousin disappear last year last seen on the company of a convicted felon but she turned up ok. Hopefully your niece will also turn up unharmed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popmom Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’m praying, too. I’m so sorry. Forget about “tough love” in this moment. Just LOVE. I hope your niece feels the love and prayers on her behalf right now. These situations are never black and white. I’m praying that she knows the love of her family, the peace and comfort and forgiveness and grace of God. Praying for her safety. Lord Jesus be with your whole family. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I am sorry. Kids make bad decisions, parents make bad decisions, but placing blame at this point is not going to help anyone. praying she is found safe. ps: I do know of a dad who put a tracker on his grown daughter's car. He had reason to be concerned. Edited February 2, 2021 by DawnM 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth86 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Scarlett said: My sister and her other children have been begging her Xh to exercise some tough love with the girl and take the car away. But tonight I am not interested in blaming anyone.....,I just want her to not be dead. I've had some very troubled loved ones as well. It's so hard on their parents to know what to do since they are adults. It's impossible to just watch it play out, but so hard to help. Prayers. Keep us updated. Shame on anyone acting like there is nothing wrong here. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Last I heard from my sister was close to midnight. The police had 9 patrol cars on the side of the interstate. They were going through her car. Surely if they were driving the car of a missing woman and the plates had been switched out they will take them to jail right? I haven’t called my sister yet in case there is any chance she is sleeping. I got about 2 hours of sleep and the dreams were horrific. On top of all of this our dad has been Iin the hospital for two weeks. My poor sister. Edited February 2, 2021 by Scarlett 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to message all her friends and ask who has seen her - that she isn't in trouble but they are worried 8 hours ago, Scarlett said: I don’t know., does that require a warrant? The police offered to tow the vehicle, but her dad declined....he prefers the car stay put at this complex praying she is inside and will come out and get in her car soon. He and his younger daughter are waiting outside in a friends car praying she comes out. Um, why are they not knocking on doors looking for her? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a lot really. My understanding it is a very large complex in a very bad area of the city. So I don't know it would have been a good idea for her dad and her 17 year old sister to go knocking on doors. They stayed near her car in a car they borrowed so they wouldn't be recognized. And they were in contact with the police from their town who had contacted the city police on their behalf. As soon as someone got in her car her dad called the police and they stopped it. That is all I know for now. I just texted my sister and she is trying to find out something this morning but I don't think she has been located yet. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but in conjunction with her also missing I don't think it is a good thing. The car was at a mall for about an hour before her dad could get in to the city. Then it went back to the same complex and that is where he found it with switched out plates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 I am just praying she was located and is safe in her dad's house this morning. But I doubt it. I think her sister would have contacted my sister. She just told me last night they were working on getting a search warrant for the guy's phone. So it sounds like he was arrested when stopped in her car and that the police are taking it seriously. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyMom5 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm sorry people are picking on you, Scarlett. You are right to be terrified for your niece.

My sister tried to call her 2 nights ago so she could hear her voice but she wouldn't answer except text. Thankfully she had dinner with her dad night Sunday night so we know she was alive then. And THANK GOD he was able to put that tracker on or we would not have this time line to know when she went missing. Oh and I don't know if I mentioned after the naked picture was sent her phone was shut off. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I’ve already told my 18-yo....if you’re legally an adult but still financially dependent *and* making dangerous choices, my subsequent decisions will be those of a parent raising a troubled dependent, not peer-to-peer.)

Scarlett Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 And some thug had contacted my 17 year old niece threatening harm if the 19 year old didn't pay up what she owed. But he worded it nice and vague and the police said it wasn't enough. That was a few weeks ago. This girl gets herself in such messes I can't keep up with them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm guessing someone took the car as payment then, and she's hopefully just embarrassed/scared to tell her dad. Or it was stolen while she was drunk/high and same, embarrassed to tell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. If she willingly let him drive the car why would the plates be changed? She wouldn't ask her dad for money and then completely disappear, turn off her phone, not come home etc... And the naked picture was taken sometime around Christmas....I guess it was taken at her dad's house and he can tell from the back ground when it was. She could have sent it to someone......but how would they have her dad's number to send it to her dad? Unless they have her phone. This is just not good IMO. I hope I am wrong and she is just sleeping it off somewhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, help me think through what you are saying.....she texts her dad at 1:00 a.m for money to get home. (which the dad doesn't hear) And then a random person sends a text of her naked to her dad at 2:00 a.m. which he does hear and immediately begins calling her to see where she is and how he can help her. But she doesn't answer. I don't see how that fits into she is just at a party and he just happened to steal her car. But what do I know. I have never been involved in anything even remotely like what she is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
