A man and a woman have been arrested in connection to the disappearance of a 15-month-old girl from Tennessee who was last seen in December but only reported missing this week, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says.
The last person outside of the family to see the girl was a babysitter on Dec. 10, authorities said.
Police have said they are looking into why there was a delay of several weeks between the last reported sighting of Evelyn and the missing persons report.she didn’t contact the police right away out of fear that the person who took her daughter would disappear. "I knew the person who had her, and I didn't want them to run away with her," she said."And as soon as they thought anything was going on they just kind of vanished. So I'm just kind of worried, you know, about where they are at. What they're doing with her at this point in time."
It is unclear at this time whether Evelyn and the woman arrested, who share the same last name, are related.Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy said the girl's mother has been cooperating with investigators but her stories haven't been consistent. "Some of the information she's given us hasn't been really accurate," he said."This case is unlike anything I've ever been involved in. We've had a child who has not been seen by the parents or certain family members in almost two months and was just reported this week."
