EMMA BAUM, PREGNANT WHEN SHE WENT MISSING, FAMILY'S DESPERATE PLEA: WHERE'S EMMA?

Heading into the ninth month of her pregnancy, Emma Baum finds out on October 4 that she is already dilated one centimeter. Six days later, knowing the baby will be here soon, Emma has her sister drive her to boyfriend and father-to-be Antwon Butler's house in Gary, Indiana, Thursday evening. Emma tells her sister she will see her tomorrow and goes inside. On Friday, Emma Baum does not reach out to her family members even though they are expecting her to come home. After waiting all weekend, Emma's mother, Jamie Baum, calls Butler and asks to speak to Emma. Antwon Butler tells Jamie that Emma isn't there...he saw her leave with a girl in a car. However, Butler changes his story several times, and the family believes he is being less than truthful. The family reports Emma Baum missing and tells the police Antwon Butler was the last person to see Emma. As it happens, Antwon Butler has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear, so he is picked up and taken to jail on charges not related to his missing girlfriend. Weeks of searching for Emma have led to no results, and the family of Emma Baum are at a loss for what to do next. Standing in front of Antwon Butler's house in Gary, the family asks local TV crews to get the word out, begging for the safe return of the mom of three and her newborn.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Jamie Baum - Mother Jason Waddell -  Father Abby Smith - Sister Paige Baum - Sister Gregory Morse – Partner at the law firm of King Morse, PLLC.
