Five days after a woman in Fargo, North Dakota, disappeared from a neighbor’s apartment, a newborn child was found in the apartment.
Savanna Lafontaine-Greywind, 22, was eight months pregnant with her and her boyfriend’s first child, a baby girl, when she went missing on Saturday, Aug. 19.
LaFontaine-Greywind’s mother, Norberta LaFontaine-Greywind, who lived with her daughter, told local media that LaFontaine-Greywind had gone to an upstairs apartment to help a neighbor who needed a model for a dress she was sewing.
LaFontaine-Greywind ordered pizza before she went, and left her wallet behind. Her car was also still parked in the parking lot when she was reported missing at 4:30 p.m.
LaFontaine-Greywind was supposed to drive her 16-year-old brother, who also lives with her, to work, but since she didn’t return, Norberta took him instead.
She thought surely LaFontaine-Greywind would be back by the time she returned, but when she wasn’t there, Nortberta panicked.
“I immediately knew something was wrong because her car is here,” she said, according to the Duluth News Tribune. “She’s eight months pregnant. Her feet were swollen, so she wouldn’t have taken up walking like that. There was pizza here that she hadn’t eaten. She would not just leave that lady’s apartment and go somewhere.”
She went upstairs and asked the neighbor, Brooke Lynn Crews, 38, who LaFontaine-Greywind said she was helping, and Crews told her that she had already left.
