Alice? Who the fug is Alice?
Lord knows why I was reading this shit, but let’s see who else has a problem with this article. Reprinted in full so you can appreciate the (lack of) context.
TEMPE – A 23-year-old Tempe mother at the center of a missing baby case has left Miami and arrived at the Maricopa County jail.
Elizabeth Johnson has been charged with kidnapping, child abuse and custodial interference.
Tempe Police say that Johnson is being held on a cash-only $1.1 million bond, after being extradited from Florida.
Johnson was arrested in Miami on Dec. 30 after failing to show up for a custodial hearing in Phoenix. Johnson had apparently driven cross-country with her 8-month-old son Gabriel.
Gabriel was last seen with her in San Antonio. She tells police she gave him up to an unknown couple in Texas for adoption.
After arriving in the valley, Elizabeth Johnson telephoned her grandfather, who lives in Scottsdale.
“I can’t even imagine Elizabeth hurting that child or anything worse,” Bob Johnson told FOX 10. “It’s unbelievable she would. She’s a stubborn young lady, she has got a plan and I suspect she implemented it.”
Authorities are calling a Scottsdale couple “persons of interest” in the case. The Smiths tell police they befriended Johnson at an airport and she offered to give her son to them to adopt — but the baby’s father didn’t agree.

TSO,
All this stuff is literally happening within walking distance of my apartment.
I feel like I’m coming in at the end of a story, and having to play catch-up.
The problem with this here article, is the sentence:
“The Smiths tell police they befriended Johnson at an airport….”
Nowhere in the article does it explain to us who the Smiths are. Presumably they are the Scottsdale couple, but why are they “persons of interest” if they are freely talking to the cops, and there doesn’t seem to be much they can add.
