Holy cow, these women deserve medals and every good thing there is. And Indy police need to get their heads out of their asses. That detective knew what an amazing job they did, though. All on their damned own. Amazing humans.

ETA CNN giving police the credit, fucking figures.

Yeah I'm not impressed about the picture of the cop holding the baby. I know that without looking at the CNN article that someone is going to tweak the story into the cops favour.

Reading this makes the cops sound truly useless. Without these ladies the babies would not have been found.

They kind of were. The cop was ready to let the woman go with which is so crazy to me.

The cops don't want to release details about the case because these two women just embarrassed them.

EDIT: I can't wait for the movie to come out.

Seriously they said "God delivered the baby right into their hands" but the entire story doesn't even mention these women?

What an actual unbelievable story and amazing people to actually figure this out.

They saved that baby's life, no doubt. CNN should edit this story with more details about how the baby was found.

Since you're copy and pasting your stupidity I'll put this here too

Um what? These ladies found the baby in the Honda outside the papa John's after dealing with the suspect and helping get her arrested.

The cops took credit for both finding and recovering the baby when they just showed up after it had been found and took the baby from the car. They don't mention these ladies at all

Maybe learn how to read before you deepthroat another boot

I wonder how long that poor baby was left in the car in freezing temps? I assume the car was not left running that whole time 'Mae' was riding around with the women. This is an incredible story and these women deserve all the accolades.

Last I heard Kason is still in the hospital but is expected to be home for Christmas. They think he was alone in the car since Tuesday. 😭

One of the articles mentioned how he didn’t even cry when the police officer picked him up and all I could think about was how long that poor baby cried in that car before giving up

This hurts my heart as a father. I have an 8 month old and know how much this ordeal will affect that poor baby. I’m just glad those women were able to save him.

rooftopfilth t1_j1m9gk9 wrote

That is a really, really bad sign. That doesn’t just come from one incident with the car. That lady was neglecting them hard.

Edit: the kidnapper, not the biomom! That was unclear. Kiddo went missing Monday and had an entire week of cries going unheard.

Poverload237 t1_j1mrnwm wrote

Yes, yes it does. That baby was left for 48 hours in a car in snow, sub-freezing temperatures and no food. Absolutely yes it can take just 1 traumatic event like this.

Additionally, saying the mother was intentionally neglecting her kids, with 0 proof, is a horrendous accusation and a huge leap from any known information. She made an incredibly stupid mistake but that doesn't make her neglectful. Don't throw accusations at people with no proof to back it up.

rooftopfilth t1_j1oubyx wrote

I’m saying the kidnapper was neglecting them! My understanding was that kiddo had been kidnapped at least days or weeks before he was found in the car. Did I misread?

I’m guessing that the lady who stole the car and the kid wasn’t exactly taking amazing care of the infant who happened to be in the backseat.

Poverload237 t1_j1ovpan wrote

I'm so sorry, I COMPLETELY misunderstood your comment. I thought you were saying that the baby hadn't gotten that bad in the time he was kidnapped and that the baby's mom had neglected him, so I am SO SORRY for misreading your comment!!!

100% yes the kidnapper neglected him. I absolutely agree with you there! From what I read on the case, it was around 2-3 days from the time the baby was kidnapped and the time he was found, and because the car was snow-covered from the recent storm coming through, it's a good bet that he had been in that car that entire time.

That poor baby enduring 48+ hours of sub-zero cold temps, no food, and being scared out of his mind breaks my heart 💔

All I can think of is what a painful cold mess he sat in for days. I hope he’s not scarred for life but this must have a developmental impact on him. The poor little guy. That woman should be charged with attempted murder.

> There, outside a Papa John’s in the very plaza where Anderson and Sgt. Richard El had stopped to eat, was the stolen car. Kason was inside. The five-month-old had been missing for nearly three full days, and had likely been alone for most of the time.

All technically true, Just missing a few key sentences in the middle that convey that they looked in the car because 2 women told them to.

devilishycleverchap t1_j1kn9or wrote

Except for the fact that they went there bc of a radio alert which is documented on this article. The ladies went to the papa John's bc they were hungry

Jesus fuck, why do you believe anything from the polices perspective here. They had to have the suspect hand delivered to them in the first place and shown the mugshots

> Delmar said she saw a couple officers inside a Blaze Pizza nearby and rushed to tell them about the baby.

> "We've been alerted that the missing child may be located over here at the vehicle at 10th and Indiana," an officer is heard saying at about 6:40 p.m. in police radio communications.

That strongly implies that the officers who “found” the kid were the ones reporting their status over the radio, not being told to go to the car via radio.

Yeah, the CNN article was misleading, but it wasn’t false.

devilishycleverchap t1_j1kt0us wrote

So which is it, blaze or papa John's? Which pizza place did god lead these brave officers to that night to find this child?

"That's all thanks to these brave two officers"

Motherfuckers were gonna eat their shitty lebron pizza and leave if these women hadn't stepped up. Guess the plate reader on their cruiser missed this Honda they had an APB out for

It isn't even a very big parking lot. Were they even looking?

orngesodaaa t1_j1q5vgk wrote

I looked on google maps and both pizza joints are in the same plaza. I assume the women stopped to eat at papa johns, saw the missing baby at papa johns parking lot, then were able to see police cars just across the parking lot at blaze pizza and ran over to alert them.

Still, the police needed to be handed everything and were useless.

That's unfair. The police also give some credit to God.

Nervous-Ear-8594 t1_j1qje1r wrote

They got the suspect arrested and still had the thought to go “wait where’s the baby? Let’s drive around and look!”

And they actually found the kid?! That is crazy! That picture of the cop holding the baby, you can see one of the heroic women standing in the background. Just two young women were able to do this. Anyone can be a hero or have a thought, it takes a lot to follow that intuition!

Ksh_667 t1_j1qndf2 wrote

Exactly! The police could've seemed more urgent in their responses. I mean to deny that was the woman the whole country was looking for & tell them to take her to a hostel??!! And then to have to be convinced by one of the women showing you her pic on her mobile - "oh yeh that maybe is her..."

And then they drove off with no mention of looking for the baby! To find the bus map & deduce from that the car may be parked at one of the stops on that route. And to check each stop focusing in cars with a good amount of snow on their roof, indicating they'd been there a long time!

These women are sherlock Holmes, miss marple & hercule Poirot rolled into one. I'm hoping to see them on oprah soon :)

This is amazing! Not only did the two women help apprehend the kidnapper, they back to look for clues and then found the kidnapped baby by themselves! The women need to be recognized more (awards, commendations, etc.). This would make a really cool movie.

One of the (many) sad parts is the fear the women had of being “snitches”. I’m not blaming them—- just sad they weren’t comfortable acting initially.
