More on the Saige Terrell case

FBI issues warrants for Ky. couple

The search continues for the infant, his mother, and the mother's boyfriend, who disappeared after the social worker who had brought the baby to visit his mother was found dead. The social worker's purse was found in Illinois, about 75 miles east of Saint Louis, and the last credible sighting was in that city.

One thing I don't understand was this: the child had been in foster care since he was just a few weeks old--he'd been taken from his mother for neglect. Yet he has a rug burn on the back of his neck and a scratch on his face. It seems he wasn't faring well in foster care, either.

Apparently he was going to be adopted soon, and the mother had recently found this out. That may have been the catalyst to this killing and the subsequent flight.

I so hope they find this couple (and the baby) very soon.
