Quote:

The man Jones met in the parking lot told investigators they talked for about an hour. He says when he left, Jones was in her car talking on her cell phone.

Well, her phone records should be easy enough to check... not that it proves anything one way or the other if she did indeed have phone calls on her cell around that time, but it's someplace to start.

Scary. Again.

I really have a sinking heart when I hear about this one.

2lakes · #5 08-16-2005, 09:37 PM

Seems it is becoming a trend to pregnant women.

Oh, no. Not another...

"The man Jones met" was the father of her baby.On Greta, the lieutennant didn't want to say, who the man was,when it had been on several shows earlier.
On Rita Cosby,the family was on & the poor sister was crying hysterically.She said this guy didn't want to have anything to do, w/ Amanda or the baby,until Sunday,when he called to meet her.

#8 08-17-2005, 05:24 AM

On Dan Abrams: Father of baby described a red car, with a couple,who went to his home & told him, to call Amanda.Then he calls Amanda & asks to meet her at Civic Center.
No one knows, who this couple is...(it sounds like a made-up couple to me.)

Mrs. Probst (mother) said Amanda is due between 8/22 & 8/27.

That's very interesting. You are right, it does sound very made-up or OR it could be another baby abduction story???? She does work in the public at a bank. Maybe a couple wanted a baby an knew that she was expecting soon. That is just a possible theory though. Why would the boyfriend call her on behalf of the people if he didn't know them?

Lot's of questions in this case. Sounds like she is due any day now.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD AT ALL. But what I don't get is how he and the other men that have done this think they can vanish the mother of their child and no one is going to notice and investigate. Her parents were babysitting her 4 yr old and they knew she was going to meet him.

My heart breaks over and over !! Praying Amanda is OK ! Please, please, please !

Fox is saying Missouri police will give an update soon. It isn't anything like breaking news from what I am hearing.

I am just sick after watching her parents last night and then reading about her sister.

Immediately, I was thinking maybe "DADDY" made arrangements to market a baby. GYAWD, these people have me really thinking out of the box and just plain evil these days.

I just can't stand the thought of a man BEING WILLING TO KILL HIS OWN CHILD just so he does not have to support him/her. I PRAY THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE.

But I also fear Amanda is not going to be found safe, but will continue to pray for a miracle until we hear otherwise.

I still think that Cindy, the pregnant woman from Georgia was no accident either. I honestly feel I am slowly losing all faith in humanity one case at a time.

This whole scenario makes me sick to my stomach. Just reading it makes me think this guy is guilty as sin. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but......what's wrong with a society that sees offing your pregnant girlfriend/wife as a way of getting out of debt/responsibility. It is indeed scary.

#15 08-17-2005, 02:20 PM

I haven't kept up with this case so I don't know the details, but I just saw a blurb on the building tv here at work that said they found a body but didn't think it was hers????
Anybody else hear that?
It was on Fox News (I believe--that's what channel they usually have it on). Was in a hurry and couldn't stop to hear the whole story.

I just read back over my own post and cringed. Our "society" certainly does not approve of this. What's wrong with these CREEPS???

Story on Fox news website

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,166015,00.html

According to his lawyer, "Westfall doesn't know if he is the father of the baby". It certainly didn't stop him to luring her to the civic center

Of course, he may not be the father. The jerk! And according to his lawyer? He's lawyered up already?

2lakes · #19 08-17-2005, 06:32 PM

Here's just another possible theory. I'm sure her ex-husband (father of her 4 yr. old) is being questioned but let's just say what if the ex-husband is bitter over her getting pregnant by another man & puts the mystery couple up to contacting the alledged father of the baby to meet her. Maybe the guy really is innocent and someone else is responsible??? Maybe the person responsible knew that the boyfriend would be the one blamed?

It's just a theory and maybe the ex is no way involved and very upset that she is missing.

I'm also exploring the possible theory of a baby snatching like what happened last year near Kansas City. IF the story the father of the baby is telling is true, that a couple in a red car contacted him, it would of had to have been someone that knew her and knew that he was the father of the baby. I just pray and hope that IF she was taken for her baby that they knew she was very near to going in labor and she is being held somewhere until she has the baby and then let go.

I know these are wild theories but really, does anything surprise you anymore after some of the real cases we have seen in the news!

Babes · #20 08-17-2005, 06:35 PM

why would he contact amanda for a couple he doesnt even know? If he is really concern about amanda and when a couple asking him about her then he should be more cautious and get plate number of the "red car" and tell amanda on the phone about it and not even letting amanda go to the area so obviously he doesnt make any sense at all...

Is this westfall guy a married man? does he have another woman? What does he do for a living?

Just read in the news link above this post that authorities are checking her phone records.

I also heard on the news that she was last seen on the Walgreens camera just 30 minutes before she went missing.

That's exactly what I don't get...They think they know more & are smarter than everyone else..but they ARE going to get caught!

I think this red car thing was the best story, he could come up with & now he has a lawyer.

Babes · #25 08-18-2005, 03:23 AM

Jones told her parents, Hubert and Bertha Propst of Festus, that she met Westfall at a Christmas party at the Civic Center last year.

"It was just a one-night stand thing," Bertha Propst said. "A mistake."

According to her mother, Jones didn't have any contact with Westfall during her pregnancy. But her mother said Jones had received a phone call from Westfall before she left for church Sunday morning. Jones told her mother that Westfall wanted to get together for lunch.

Jones said she wanted to talk to Westfall to find out whether he wanted to be part of his son's life.

"She wanted to know if he had changed his mind about the baby so she would know what name to give her son when he was born," either Westfall's or her own, Bertha Propst said.

Here's some interesting info. from the article,
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/new...2?OpenDocument

Jones' family says she takes medication for Graves' disease, a thyroid disorder that, if left untreated, could lead to serious complications.

***
According to her mother, Jones didn't have any contact with Westfall during her pregnancy. But her mother said Jones had received a phone call from Westfall before she left for church Sunday morning. Jones told her mother that Westfall wanted to get together for lunch.

Jones said she wanted to talk to Westfall to find out whether he wanted to be part of his son's life.

"She wanted to know if he had changed his mind about the baby so she would know what name to give her son when he was born," either Westfall's or her own, Bertha Propst said.

***
Hubert Propst said his daughter might have been abducted by someone who was waiting for her to give birth so they could sell her baby.

"That's one thing that's going through my mind," Hubert Propst said. "The other thing I don't even want to talk about because it's too gruesome."

***
Bertha Propst said her granddaughter had told her, "Mommy's lost, but the police will find her."

I have a really bad feeling about this case. I used to work in a bank as a personal banker and it is a very public position. It is not uncommon for customers to know a lot about you especially in a small town. I really hope she was not targeted for someone to snatch her baby as happened in KC last year.

I don't think this was a random case of someone seeing her in the car in the middle of the day and deciding to abduct her. Someone went to that place to cause her harm.
