"The source, who only wanted to be identified as Frank, is the same man who provided WNWO with exclusive surveillance video showing Elaina and her mother the day before the child was last seen, June 2. Frank, who has remained anonymous until now, said he was looking to release the information so that the public could hear what Elaina's mother says happened. It was after Frank gave that information to investigators that Angela Steinfurth was arrested for child endangerment, for which she remained jailed on Monday night."

"[Elaina's mother] told me about the baby having a black eye, a bump on the head and just a little bit of dry blood around the nostril. But I was like well what's that all about...and she said that when she woke up the baby was like that...I said well why didn't you call ...take her to the hospital or call the police or whatever...She told me that she asked Steven, the boyfriend, to check on the baby to make sure the baby was ok medically. The boyfriend overlooked the child and said she was going to be fine," Frank said of his conversation with Angela Steinfurth, Elaina's mother." WNWO YouTube Video

My question is, Saturday when she was sitting at my house calling everybody and the brother asking for help, pleading and begging, arguing, no one wanted to help her at all. Her father said she was staying at his house, but the reason she didn`t stay at his house is because she`s a smoker and she wanted to...

"Angela's former neighbor, who still only wants to be identified as Frank, added that even he offered her a place to stay but she refused. She wanted to make her relationship with her boyfriend work and so she told me... she was going to apologize to the boyfriend's mother for some of the things that she said to her... that way she would have a room for her and her children's head," Frank told WNWO exclusively."
"Frank is the same source that released exclusive surveillance video to WNWO of baby Elaina and her mother, outside his East Toledo home, the day before the 18-month was last seen. Frank adds that Angela Steinfurth felt she had to apologize to Julie King, Steven King's mother and owner of the home where Elaina was last seen, because the two had argued enough that Angela would leave the home for nearly a month."

SECOND UPDATE: Neighbor adds new clue to missing toddler case
"The mother of missing 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth was seen leaving between midnight and 1 a.m. the morning of the toddler’s disappearance. Dennis Bolfa, who lives across from the East Toledo home in the 700 block of Federal Street where the toddler was last seen, said he saw Elaina’s mother, Angela Steinfurth, and her boyfriend Steven W. King leave in their van and return 10-15 minutes later. “I thought they were just going to get cigarettes or something,” he said. “It didn’t dawn on me at the time.”
" When Bolfa was interviewed by Toledo Free Press on June 18, he had not yet reported this information to the FBI or police. “A couple days before, she said, ‘[Elaina’s father Terry Steinfurth Jr.] ain’t getting my kid,’” Bolfa said. ("That’s abnormal for that van to leave after 10 [at night]. They don’t usually do that,” Bolfa said on June 20.")

FRED LEFEBVRE, WSPD (via telephone): He says at least a period of 20 minutes. Some time between midnight and 1:00, she and her boyfriend left, came back about 20 minutes later. He`s saying that she seemed a little distressed, but at midnight, it`s hard to tell. But that`s the story he`s sticking with. The interesting thing is, he didn`t remember it until just yesterday and called the FBI with that information today.

Bizarre Opening to Zimmerman Trial; Latest on Missing Child
NANCY GRACE (06/24/13): I`m going to go to Clark Goldband. Clark, what about the mystery witness?
CLARK GOLDBAND (06/24/13): We`ve just obtained a police report filed a few days after the baby went missing and there are some bombshells in this report. A witness called law enforcement claiming she saw the baby and the mom just a few hours before Elaina went missing between the hours of 7:00 and 9:45 at a gas station convenience store. Inside the convenience store, she says "The child appeared fine, didn`t speak." Mom was buying honeybuns and fruit punch and she`s positive it was the mom according to the police report because she claims the mom used to work at the gas station. So, Nancy, we were wondering if someone saw the child that day she was reported missing. According to this police report, a witness just may have.
BRETT LAURICE (Investigative Reporter) (06/24/13): Yes, absolutely, Nancy. It`s a worker at a Gas-N-Go. And here`s what`s interesting about it is she said, at that time, you were right, it`s between 7:00 and about 9:45 in the morning she said she didn`t notice that the bay was injured. You know, we`ve been talking a lot about the bump on the head, the black eye, the blood around the nose. She didn`t notice that, and when she was questioned by police, and even questioned by some reporters, she said that`s something she definitely would have noticed. But mommy shows up, gets some grocery, pays for them with her food stamps card, and here`s the sort of the twist to all this, the cameras were down in the gas station. So none of this was caught on camera for police to review but police have that they have interviewed her as a witness.

I wanted to see my granddaughter. The boyfriend comes down the porch, not off of it. We had a slight confrontation. The mother sent him into the house. I talked with the mother and father. They yelled in...
NANCY GRACE (06/12/13): What did they say?
TERRY STEINFURTH SR (on phone) (06/12/13): ... for Angela to come out. She wouldn`t come out. The boyfriend`s mother went into the house. Angela and her did come out, back out. The mother and I -- Angela and I argued that she wasn`t going to give me the baby because my son wouldn`t let her have her back if she did. After a short period of time, she agreed to give her to me. She went back into the house. I was seated on the porch with the boyfriend`s mother and father. My son`s wife never came back out. The boyfriend`s mother went in to get her, to find out what was taking her so long, as they said, to pick up a sleeping baby and carry her out to me. She went in the house. The father and I are out on the porch. I hear what I thought was the baby crying at first. I figured she had woke her up. And then I realized it was Angela crying and screaming that she was not going to give me the baby because if she did, she`d never see it again. Fifteen, twenty minutes later, she come out of the house saying the baby was gone. And I don`t see how the baby could go out without somebody seeing them carry it.

And then she went back into the house... She said that if she gave me the baby to take with me, that my son wouldn`t -- she wouldn`t see it again because my son wouldn`t bring her back. She came back outside and told me that the baby wasn`t in the house, the baby was gone, someone took the baby.

My aunt and Steven went out the back door, because everybody was out front arguing and carrying on. They knew clearly the baby didn`t go up the front door and they knew nobody else went out the front door. So they went out the back door.

Elaina Steinfurth missing: Does mother know what happened?
"Toledo, Ohio missing child alert: As of June 3, 2013 officials are still seeking Elaina Steinfurth, who vanished yesterday afternoon. The infant was reportedly last seen at the home of her mother Angela Steinfurth, but when the father arrived to pick his daughters up, the mother stopped him. He was given the older girl (his four-year-old daughter) but was not given access to little Elaina. He reported her missing when it was discovered that she was not at Angela's residence."
"This case is immediately suspicious because the mother has clearly intervened somehow to keep the girl away from her father, but not the other. This indicates that she knew the child was missing, but how involved is she with the disappearance if at all? Officials have not confirmed whether or not this is a potential abduction, but scoured the neighborhood yesterday to no success."

I`m just curious as to what would be more important than your child and you`re not out looking for your child and you`d rather be at work.
NANCY GRACE (06/18/13): Hold on. Christie in Ohio works at the Taco Bell where Angela Steinfurth worked. Are you telling me she was at work on the 5th and the 11th?

NANCY GRACE (06/18/13): You saw her?
CHRISTIE, CALLER FROM OHIO (06/18/13): Yes, I did.

CHRISTIE, CALLER FROM OHIO (06/18/13): She didn`t directly say anything to me about it, but I can tell you that she talked about it freely.
NANCY GRACE (06/18/13): What did she say?
CHRISTIE, CALLER FROM OHIO (06/18/13): She just asked my -- another employee that was there, she was pregnant, she asked her how far along she was and what she was having. She said, my daughter has been missing and put her head down and left it at that. There was no tears. No nothing.
NANCY GRACE (06/18/13): And that was -- she worked a full day the 5th as in five. And the 11th, one-one. Correct?
CHRISTIE, CALLER FROM OHIO (06/18/13): She didn`t work full days. But she was there on the 5th and the 11th for over -- a little over an hour.

Toledo Fire Department searches Maumee River for 1-year-old
"Divers from the Toledo Fire Department were continuing their search late today in the Maumee River, looking for additional clues in the case of missing Elaina Steinfurth. Numerous officials who were gathered on the banks of the river in East Toledo, near the Anthony Wayne Bridge, declined to comment."
"Officials started searching in that area early today, and were taken to a particular area near a clearing in the brush after the girl's mother, Angela Steinfurth, found “something” and then alerted police. She and her step-father, Richard Schiewe, said they came out the river at 9 a.m. and started to look for any clues police might have missed from their search of the area Wednesday. At about 10:20 a.m., police asked for additional assistance saying evidence needed to be bagged. At least two brown paper bags with evidence inside were taken from the scene."
"Mrs. Steinfurth and Mr. Schiewe said they were prompted to search after getting a tip Wednesday evening that a fisherman at the marina snagged a heavy duffel bag. The two went out and said they talked to every fisherman, but none reported finding anything."

She was going through her stuff. Packing it up and I heard her open something, and I don`t know if it was a drawer or a box. And the FBI agent said, you know, what is that?

And I asked her why she didn`t take her to the hospital. She said she don`t know. This was before I knew anything about what she was saying in jail.

Toledo Police reveal little about search for missing girl
Dozens of volunteers fanned out from Federal and Leonard streets today, again searching for any clues that might lead to a missing 18-month-old girl. The search started just after noon, and the nearly 75 volunteers were expected to finish at about 4 p.m. One group reported finding children's clothing – what looked to be a small sports shirt – in an East Toledo park. Police picked up the items, but there was no indication that it could be related to the case."
"A Toledo police news conference earlier today shed little – if any – new light on the search for a missing 18-month-old girl. The girl's mother, Angela Steinfurth, 26, of 329 Valleywood Dr., was charged Wednesday night with child endangering. She was arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court today and ordered to be held in the Lucas County jail in lieu of $250,000."
"During the news conference at the downtown police Safety Building, police Capt. Wes Bombrys said the investigation is ongoing. He said Mrs. Steinfurth told investigators Wednesday she knew the girl, Elaina Steinfurth, had been injured and that she did not seek medical attention. “The condition of the baby and the severity of the injuries, I can't tell ya,” the captain said. “We don't know. The location of Elaina, we still don't know, and that's why we say it's still an ongoing investigation. The captain said the investigation is still a missing persons case and has not been reclassified as a homicide. No other charges have been filed. The captain declined to comment on who possibly injured the young girl or if Mrs. Steinfurth had any role in injuring the toddler. Additional charges could be filed, he said.”
“Interrogation interviews” led Mrs. Steinfurth to say she knew about the injuries and also prompted the searches on the east side, the captain said"

"According to an arrest affidavit filed in the case, police say Elaina’s mother “did violate her duty of care, protection and support with respect to her minor child [redacted] 18 months of age.” Steinfurth did admit to law enforcement officers that she was aware that her minor child had sustained serious physical injury and that her minor child required medical treatment…[she] further admitted that she failed to ensure that her minor child received the necessary medical treatment for that said injury,” the document added."

" Less than 24 hours after the mother of a missing East Toledo toddler was arrested for child endangerment, an anonymous source released surveillance video that shows her in a different light."
"According to the source, the video was taken the day before the toddler was reported missing. Angela Steinfurth can be seen kissing 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth on the head and cradling her. The person that released the video (only to WNWO's Bryant Maddrick) says the surveillance images were captured at his home near Raymer Elementary School in East Toledo. The residence, where the video was taken, is about eleven blocks away from where Elaina Steinfurth was last seen on the afternoon of June 2. Though the source of the video did not want to be identified, WNWO was able to gain access to the person through a family member of Angela Steinfurth."

Mom arraigned as East Toledo search for Elaina continues
"Instead of spending her day off from work sitting at home, Sheila Rogers decided to help a group of strangers look for a missing 18-month-old girl. “I couldn’t sit and read it on Facebook and watch it on TV and not do something,” she said Thursday just before joining about 75 volunteers, who fanned out across the east side looking for any signs of Elaina Steinfurth."
"In the past 12 days, volunteers have searched, primarily in East Toledo. Another search set for noon Saturday is expected to expand to other neighborhoods, said organizer Kim Cundick. “It's about finding this baby and bringing her home,” said Ms. Cundick, who has helped in searches for Nevaeh Buchanan of Monroe and three brothers missing from Morenci, Mich. As the search for Elaina creeps up on its two-week mark, her father maintains hope the girl is alive. “I hope my daughter is OK and comes home,” he said. “It’s been 11 days and she’s still gone. I’m still in shock.”

(Excerpt from interview or article) - (www.toledoblade.com 06/14/13):
Who is Angela Steinfurth?
"Who is Angela Jeane Steinfurth? The obvious: Angela is a 26-year-old lifelong Toledoan. She is the mother of two little girls -- Kylee, 4, and little Elaina. She is married to, but estranged from, Terry Steinfurth, Jr., 25. He goes by "TJ."
"I feel like it's an embarrassment that Angela is my sister," said Mary Schiewe, 23. Angela, born Nov. 28, 1987, grew up without her father, said Mary, Angela's half-sister. She saw a picture of him once, but never knew him. Less than a year after Angela was born, her mother, Lisa Mories, married Richard Schiewe. "We never really had our mom in our life," Mary said. "It's always been my dad. When Anglea was 16, she tried to reconnect with her mother, and maintained contact, although they were never very close, Mary said."
"The young couple, for the sake of their two young children, tried to work through their differences, but TJ said differing parenting techniques, the one-income household, and Angela's anxiety and depression caused rifts. In November, the two separated, but continued to live together until late February or early March for financial reasons."

On a Facebook page dedicated to the Elaina Steinfurth search effort, a photo of Steven King holding his son, was put up with a caption that he was wanted by the FBI."
"The photo was taken down a short time after it was posted. Steven's mother, Julie King, tells me it was taken down because it's not true. A later post did make that correction, stating, "...we have NOT been notified that he is wanted... Numerous comments were posted before the photo was taken down, some threatening to hurt Steven if he didn't say where the baby is."
"Julie says she has asked her son directly if he had any involvement at all in the disappearance, he replied he knows nothing about what happened to Elaina. Steven reportedly picked up Angela & her two children in his mother's van late at night on June 1."

Father's Day In East Toledo
"The first things you notice are the tattooed arms, then the baggy shorts and tank top, the ball cap worn sideways, and finally the rings. That's what I noticed I met Terry Steinfurth for the first time the other day on Federal Street. There's a lot more to him than that though and on some level we share a bond."
"I spent time speaking with Terry in front of the house that is now the de facto headquarters for searchers, family, and friends. He has an easy way about him and no pretentions about who he is. He admits to being "young and stupid" in his younger days and doing some foolish things. He points to the tattoo of the zip code on his forearm as an example. But this isn't about what Terry did, this is about what Terry is now, and that is a loving father worried sick about his baby girl. Terry has spent countless hours searching homes, fields, streets, and alleys in a vain attempt to find baby Elaina. The very same streets, fields, and alleys he ran as a kid even though as he admits his dad told him not to because he'd get in trouble. Terry admits now that maybe his dad knew a thing or two back then after all."

TERRY STEINFURTH, JR.: Both of them. I mean, she yelled at them, cursed at them. She would snatch my oldest daughter by her arm, and like, yank her, drag her around, smack her in the mouth, just things that I don`t agree with. That`s not how you correct children.
NANCY GRACE (06/17/13): I want to hear, Terry Jr., did you ever call CPS or the police about the bruises you`re saying you saw or the treatment that you observed? What did you do when you saw these bruises or this behavior?
TERRY STEINFURTH, JR.: There were several arguments about it. I was trying to get ahold of someone at CSB. I never had a chance to make contact. She ended up the week before she went -- Elaina went missing, Angela actually gave me the girls to live with me because she said that she couldn`t care for them because she was getting thrown out her boyfriend`s house because her and her boyfriend were fighting because of the way he was treating my children.
NANCY GRACE (06/17/13): Because of the way the boyfriend was treating the children?
TERRY STEINFURTH, JR.: That`s what she told me.

Frank, who has remained anonymous until now, said he was looking to release the information so that the public could hear what Elaina's mother says happened. It was after Frank gave that information to investigators that Angela Steinfurth was arrested for child endangerment, for which she remained jailed on Monday night."

"[Elaina's mother] told me about the baby having a black eye, a bump on the head and just a little bit of dry blood around the nostril.

And then she waits 11 days to tell us that the baby was injured. And then she tells her dad she knows what happened but she doesn`t know, you know, who took what or who took the baby. No, it just doesn`t sound right. It does not sound right. When they tell us that, you know, Terry and T.J., they`ve seen Steven, they`ve seen Angela, and they`ve seen Julie, the mother.

NANCY GRACE (06/19/13): Mary, this is my problem. OK. She says -- your sister says she wakes up, the baby has a black eye, that she`s bleeding around the nose, that she`s got a bump on her head. You mentioned she had a broken nose. Did your sister tell you she had a broken nose?
MARY SCHIEWE (via telephone) (06/19/13): Yes.
NANCY GRACE (06/19/13): OK. That`s the first I`ve heard that, that the nose was broken. How did she know the baby`s nose was broken? Did it look broken?
MARY SCHIEWE (via telephone) (06/19/13): I`m guessing that the way that it was bleeding, that there was -- I mean, for it to be bleeding as much as it was. She thought it was broken.

Brad Weis declined to confirm whether the informants, if they exist, were fellow inmates of Angela Steinfurth." (Excerpt from interview or article) - (www.northwestohio.com 06/19/13):
Police interview children, possibly inmates in toddler's disappearance
"On Tuesday evening, during an interview with host Jane Velez-Mitchell, Toledo Police Spokesman Sgt. Joe Heffernan confirmed that investigators have brought in an outside specialist to conduct interviews with Elaina's 4-year-old sister and other children that were in the area when the toddler disappeared."
"Heffernan also cautioned Velez-Mitchell's viewers to be skeptical of recent statements made by Angela Steinfurth, Elaina's mother, in which she claims to have been threatened by people tied to her baby's disappearance. I think this is maybe a little bit of a red herring going in with this 'I was threatened' thing."

Missing Baby Elaina; Still No Information on Missing Toledo Child

MARY SCHIEWE, SISTER OF ELAINA`S MOTHER (via telephone) (06/19/13): I do know that there was a couple of dogs. I had dropped off Elaina and Kylee a couple of times, and I`ve seen dogs outside. And the one time that I walked them up into the house, there was dogs inside the house. I`m not exactly sure what kind they were.
NANCY GRACE (06/19/13): I know that you have confronted your sister, Angela, at least twice about what happened. What did she say the first time and what did she say the second time?
MARY SCHIEWE (via telephone) (06/19/13): The first time I said something to her, she just said, I don`t know, Mary. She`s like, I know she was hurt. She`s like, I don`t know where she`s at, and that was pretty much it. And then the second time that I had asked her was when she told me that she didn`t have to answer to anybody anymore.

My question is, Saturday when she was sitting at my house calling everybody and the brother asking for help, pleading and begging, arguing, no one wanted to help her at all. Her father said she was staying at his house, but the reason she didn`t stay at his house is because she`s a smoker and she wanted to...

First of all, congrats, sir. I understand you broke up this fight. Tell us what they were fighting about, how this all unfolded, and what you saw.
KENNY SMITH, FRIEND OF ELAINA`S PARENTS (via phone) (06/20/13): Well, he was talking to somebody. I don`t know who he was, honestly. And T.J. had overheard it, thought he said something wrong and said something to him, and that`s how it erupted.

ANGIE GOMEZ, REPORTER, WNWO (via phone) (06/20/13): Jane, we looked into court records for both Terry Steinfurth Jr. and the father, Richard Schiewe, that had this exchange outside of court earlier today. And we found that both of them do have protection orders against each other. In fact, it specifically says that the protection order was issued because of stalking. And what we learned -- we thought that these protection orders may have been issued in the last few weeks when baby Elaina suddenly went missing, however, we found that these protection orders were issued back in January of this year. So it looks like the family has been at odds for some time now.

VELEZ-MITCHELL (06/20/13): Frank, thank you for joining us. And there is the video on your front porch, I understand. You have a lot to say. Basically, there`s a lot of critics of this lady here. I can tell you that there are reports the new "Toledo Free Press" says that several people in the area say they saw Angela slap her 18-month-old, scream at her 18-month-old. They claim Angela would shout "you little `B` word" at her 4-year-old and slap her across the face and leave baby Elaina all alone for hours at a time. You were her friend. What do you say, Frank?
"FRANK," FRIEND OF ELAINA`S PARENTS (06/20/13): That is not true. From what I`ve seen, both T.J. and Angela were good parents. You know, I`ve never seen T.J. misabuse [SIC] these children nor Angela. She was a very good mother, you know. I feel everybody is already making her into this monster to where she`s guilty before she even goes into the courtroom. I lived beside them for, you know, about eight months, never seen them have an issue with their children. Yes, if they yelled at them, it`s because maybe they were running towards the road or pouring pop on their purse or cell phone or something. But they was never abused verbally or physically that I`ve seen since they lived beside us.

"BECKY," BOYFRIEND OF TERRY STEINFURTH JR. (via phone) (06/20/13): She has been keeping the kids from T.J. For what reason I don`t know. Just to be vindictive towards him. There`s always been bad blood for some reason. He`s never liked T.J. He`s always had something against him.
VELEZ-MITCHELL (06/20/13): And do you think that this child became a pawn in a battle between two warring families, essentially?
"BECKY," BOYFRIEND OF TERRY STEINFURTH JR. (via phone) (06/20/13): Yes, I believe so. Previous to the girls coming and living with us, she kept the girls for us for three weeks. And she wanted to do something that we were allowed to visit with the girls.

VELEZ-MITCHELL (06/20/13): I want to ask you this question. Usually when things are this dysfunctional sometimes, and I speak as a recovering alcoholic myself, that there`s alcohol or drugs involved. Do you know if she had a substance abuse problem? You admitted she liked to smoke, which is not good to do around the kids -- but anything else? Did she like to drink a lot or anything else?
"FRANK," FRIEND OF ELAINA`S PARENTS (06/20/13): No. She smoked cigarettes once in a while. I did know of her smoking a joint, marijuana. Other than that, no substance abuse at all.
VELEZ-MITCHELL (06/20/13): Well, you know, I`m not going to sit here and debate marijuana use, but is that something that could have endangered her children? We`re hearing these reports that she smacked her kid around, that she was calling her a b word.
"FRANK," FRIEND OF ELAINA`S PARENTS (06/20/13): Well, for a year -- the last two years I`ve known them I can`t say that I`ve seen any of that. Both parents were good parents.

Then she goes, "Oh my god. The baby is missing." You were actually with these kids up close and personal. Did you see signs of any kind of abuse before? Like cuts, bruises, bumps?
"BECKY," BOYFRIEND OF TERRY STEINFURTH JR. (via phone) (06/20/13): The girl had come over with bruises, we had asked Angela what had happened. She had just blamed it on Steven`s younger son. We were in contact with CS making a report. There was never a visit to check out the kids or check out the situation. We only let them go back with her for a visitation as they were living with us. And the agreement was she would not take them around Steven`s house or his family. She admitted to us that, you know, there were things going on with the kids that weren`t appropriate.

Bizarre Opening to Zimmerman Trial; Latest on Missing Child
NANCY GRACE (06/24/13): I`m going to go to Clark Goldband. Clark, what about the mystery witness?
CLARK GOLDBAND (06/24/13): We`ve just obtained a police report filed a few days after the baby went missing and there are some bombshells in this report. A witness called law enforcement claiming she saw the baby and the mom just a few hours before Elaina went missing between the hours of 7:00 and 9:45 at a gas station convenience store. Inside the convenience store, she says "The child appeared fine, didn`t speak." Mom was buying honeybuns and fruit punch and she`s positive it was the mom according to the police report because she claims the mom used to work at the gas station. So, Nancy, we were wondering if someone saw the child that day she was reported missing. According to this police report, a witness just may have.

BRETT LAURICE (Investigative Reporter) (06/24/13): Yes, absolutely, Nancy. It`s a worker at a Gas-N-Go. And here`s what`s interesting about it is she said, at that time, you were right, it`s between 7:00 and about 9:45 in the morning she said she didn`t notice that the bay was injured. You know, we`ve been talking a lot about the bump on the head, the black eye, the blood around the nose. She didn`t notice that, and when she was questioned by police, and even questioned by some reporters, she said that`s something she definitely would have noticed. But mommy shows up, gets some grocery, pays for them with her food stamps card, and here`s the sort of the twist to all this, the cameras were down in the gas station. So none of this was caught on camera for police to review but police have that they have interviewed her as a witness.

Saw Angela and Elaina Steinfurth morning before disappearance

"The witness, "Heather," did not want to be identified, but says she is 99.99% sure it was Angela Steinfurth who walked into the store. She claims Angela came in and put the toddler down to walk around the store as her mother shopped."
"Heather says she is positive of the identity because Angela worked at the gas station a few months ago. She says Angela only worked there for a few weeks, but would not have mistaken her identity. She says she worked with Angela every single morning for the weeks they worked together, and recalls that Angela was always divulging personal information about herself and her home life."
"The gas station does have video surveillance, but the day before the disappearance, the system was down. Heather says the store owner cam in later that morning and fixed the system. They later reviewed the tape, but Angela and her baby were not seen. According to Heather, this means that Angela came some time before the system was fixed."

"The mother of a missing 18-month-old girl will remain in the Lucas County jail in lieu of bond, Lucas County Common Pleas Court Judge Gary Cook ruled today. A defense attorney in court with Angela Steinfurth asked the judge for a supervised own recognizance bond because Mrs. Steinfurth has no prior record. Mrs. Steinfurth nodded until the judge denied the request. Judge Cook said the facts presented in court documents suggest that the obstructing official business charge warranted a bond of $100,000 with no option to post a 10 percent cash bond."

Witness in Baby Elaina's disappearance, Who's telling the truth?

[Gas-N-Go]"The woman, who works at the gas station, says that she could positively identify the pair because she worked with Angela Steinfurth at that very gas station. She added that when she saw Baby Elaina the toddler did not appear to have any injuries."
"Last week, the Toledo Free Press interviewed another source that claimed a relative obtained a jailhouse confession from Steinfurth. Jobeth Adams, whose sister Connie Elam is allegedly a cell-mate of Angela Steinfurth, said that the young mother admitted to playing a role in disposing of Elaina's body. Elam also told her sister that Steinfurth claimed her ex-boyfriend, Steven King, had injured Elaina the evening of June 1st and that the child died from those injuries."

Fisherman's line reels in what could be hair
"Fisherman Patrick Howard, of Toledo, said he turned what he described as a tuft of brownish-blond hair tangled on his hook over to police who were called to the scene on the river's East Toledo bank for examination."
"Battalion Chief Bryce Blair said the discovery did not warrant diving back into an area where the river bottom is "very junked up" with abandoned cars, shopping carts, trees, and other debris that pose a significant safety hazard. "This evidence right now does not rise to the level of putting divers in the water," the chief said."

Baby Elaina searchers comb bottom of Maumee River themselves

"A new report has surfaced that another fisherman turned over a "clump of hair," to Toledo Police, that was allegedly retrieved from the water below the High Level Bridge."
"In light of the latest news, volunteer searchers began combing the bottom of the Maumee River using grapnel anchors to search for more evidence themselves. "Basically we're hoping to come up with anything that's down at the bottom, any evidence or anything that's down there," volunteer searcher Andres Perez said."
"Perez said that the anchors were purchased by Elaina's father, T.J. Steinfurth. Unfortunately, so far, volunteers have not been as "lucky" at finding clues as the two unsuspecting fisherman that found "hair."
