According to her family, a pregnant mother of four who was nine months along at the time went missing more than a month ago and was last spotted at her boyfriend’s house.
On October 10, 25-year-old Emma Baum vanished from Gary, Indiana.
According to Baum’s family, she was last seen at her boyfriend’s house that day, and her mother thinks the boyfriend may have been involved in her disappearance, according to WGN9.
Gary Police Commander Jack Hamady informed the publication that Baum’s boyfriend is in custody but that he is being held in connection with an unrelated crime.
“One individual was picked up on a warrant,” Hamady stated. “I know that’s the question out there: was he charged? He has not been charged. No one in this case has been charged, and that individual was just on a separate [fail to appear] warrant.”
The local Chicago outlet reported that on October 28, authorities received a missing persons report for Baum. According to authorities, K9s and cops have since assisted with the search.
“There are three locations that have come up in the investigation, so we’ve exhausted those means and looked into video that was possibly in those areas that she was last seen as well,” Hamady stated.
Baum has brown eyes and hair, stands around 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs about 136 pounds. She frequently dons vibrant wigs and has a number of scars and tattoos.

“We are looking for my sister. She was one centimeter dilated on Oct. 4. She has been missing since Oct. 10,” Baum’s sister, Abigale Smith stated, NewsNation reported.
“I would like my daughter home,” Jamie Baum, Baum’s mother, stated during the news conference on Friday. “We miss her. Her babies need her. Her family needs her.”
The Gary Police Department’s number for anyone with information regarding Baum’s disappearance is (219) 881-1209.
