Following the abduction of their pregnant relative, members of a distraught Indiana family are pleading with the public for answers. On October 10, 2024, Emma Baum, a 25-year-old mother of four, was last spotted at her boyfriend’s home in Gary.
She was severely pregnant at the time and was probably going to give birth in a few days. The family has made public appeals in the hopes of securing Emma Baum’s and potentially her newborn baby’s safe return.
Her family claims to have exhausted all possible options.
At a press conference on November 15, Abigale Smith stated, “We are searching for my sister,” as reported by the New York Post. On October 4, she was 1 centimeter dilated. Her disappearance began on October 10. Smith stated that she and her family have exhausted all available options and are now requesting assistance from the general public.

According to Emma Baum’s mother, “her babies need her.”
Jamie Baum thinks her daughter’s absence had something to do with her boyfriend. Gary Police Commander Jack Hamady stated that although he has been arrested, it has nothing to do with Emma Baum’s abduction because he did not show up for a warrant in a separate matter. According to the Post, Jamie Baum simply wants her kid back, regardless of the boyfriend’s possible participation.
During the press conference, she stated, “I want my daughter to come home.” “We are missing her. She is essential to her children. She is needed by her family.
As part of their search, police are examining video recordings.
On October 28, eighteen days after her last sighting, Emma Baum was reported missing. Three locations that have proven important during the investigation have been the focus of police search efforts. Additionally, they intend to examine camera footage from the locations where the expectant mother was last observed.
Emma Baum is approximately 136 pounds, 5’3”, and frequently wears wigs. She has brunette hair by nature.
Emma also received a message from Smith.
Emma Baum’s mother sent encouragement in case she vanished on her own volition. According to the Post, she said, “We love you, Emma.” And nothing you have done has caused any of us to cease loving you, if you are able to hear us. We want her home and we have faith that someone knows something,” Smith remarked.
