I used to say I didn't understand how parents lost their kids in the store...until I lost my daughter in Walmart. It was scariest thing in my life. Thank goodness she was just hiding in the clothes rack but geez . It does happen that quick.
This happened to me the exact same way. My daughter did the same thang. She was literally standing next to me. A split second she was gone. My heart dropped. I panicked so bad. Screaming her name she jumped out from inside clothes rack and said boo I scared you mama. I told her don’t ever do that again
@@B-undeniable91 this happened to me too she was hiding in the racks I looked away for half a second that 10 seconds I couldn’t see he my heat sank and I felt absolutely ILL . I couldn’t imagine
I did the same thing in Woodwards. The racks were round, I just stepped into the middle. I was 3. I was surprised they got so angry, I didn't feel cared for. I knew what I was doing but I don't know why I did it. Maybe a bit of revenge I think. Kids are much smarter than most people realize. We are Eternal Souls having a Human experience. Try to remember that is a fully conscious soul inside that Toddler.
Omg my son was 3 I’ll never forget I always had him in a cart, this day I was only running in for one thing and I was with my bc so I figured between the bother of us it will be okay, well…my son thought it was funny to run away from me he turned a corner I freaked out bc I lost the sight of him, my bf went one way I went the other, it wasn’t more then 20sec but scared the daylights out of us, it happens, so scary.
There was also a 17 yo male that saw Teekah on the news and immediately contacted the police. He told them about his encounter with a guy that was extremely rude, slamming into him while holding a little girl that looked just like Teekah (on his way to the bathroom) and that the guy was heading towards the exit near the arcade area. In that moment he thought the man was her dad, extremely rude, and just in a hurry. He says the police never contacted him back. The 17 yo described this male as white, 5'11, with shoulder length brown curly hair, a thick mustache, and severely pock-marked face. The reason this IS significant is because a week later a news crew was at the bowling alley 1 week after Teekah's kidnapping reenacting the event. One of the crew noticed a guy watching them nearby, "acting strangely" and notified the police with THE EXACT SAME DESCRIPTION not knowing anything about the 17 yo at all contacting the police about his encounter. A new detective recently reexamining the case noticed this and is confused why this information was missed! They need to issue a composite of this person!
That is awful. I wonder if he was a local. You’re absolutely right, there NEEDS to be a composite of that specific male blasted across MSM and social media.
I know it sounds crazy, but if that suspect is really a local and still living there, the best place to try to find him is to look at local grocery stores footage over the period of two weeks and interview cashiers to see if they have seen a man with a poshmark face like the witness has seen. Everybody needs to go there, because everybody needs to eat. I would start there.
I don’t trust people at all. My son is 7 and when he goes to the bathroom in public I stand near the bathroom door, just to make sure I know who’s coming in and out. . I never allow him to wonder off on his own. Ever
Yes stay vigilant & do what is best for you/your family. It's okay, if you want, take him in the bathroom with you. There was an incident that happened here in San Diego County years ago, while at the beach, where a young boy went to the bathroom nearby, & something tragic happened to him. I remember the mother's remorse of not being able to prevent the incident because of being so close by. My son was around the same age; after that, until he was old enough to handle himself, he went into the bathroom with me.
Girl my son goes in the ladies room with me, same stall and all lol me and my baby are ONE and both get anxiety when away from each other for too long, which has been two weeks when he went to his aunts house for the summer THIS year lol he FaceTimed everyday if I didn't beat him to it. I talk about these types of situations and practice staged scenarios to make sure he stays on point. He knows the difference between gun shots and fireworks when both are happening around the same time (new years, 4th july) we're from Baltimore but live in DC and go back and forth often to visit family. So that's another reason its important that we practice safety procedures for all types of situations.
Nancy Grace describes the moment you lose sight of your child so well, absolute panic until you find them, and the idea you might not it literally takes your breath away to even contemplate.
My heart goes out to this family. When I see something like this I realise how very blessed I am still to have all three our children (my dearly beloved husband, their father) died of leukemia in 2000) and now their children - all the joys this little girl's family was robbed off. My sincere condolences.
@@nisicastro4748 That's exactly what I was saying. If she is alive, she won't remember her birth parents. Some kids who were kidnapped since that young age are being raised by kidnappers. And if that's the case, then when they get older, they're going to know something isn't right or that they don't have ID or information but they're so connected to their "new family" that they don't want to spill the beans. Not all kidnappers kill their victims.
@Lou Ellen DNA isn't only taken when someone is prosecuted or charged with a crime. A lot of people just want to trace their ancestry. Sometimes people do it for medical reasons too. Any of those reasons could possibly help solve this. It has happened often.
@@heatherg1706 no I totally got it. The person I was responding to left a comment stating that I guess we wanted her to be a criminal or something. The comment has since been deleted.
Yup… when my daughter was young I remember being at a public place with lots of kids… and a single man walking around standing waaaaay too close to people’s kids. I went and found security
Adorable little girl. I cannot fathom the torment this would be for the mother. Nothing scarier for a parent, I pray Teekah is somewhere alive and hasn't been harmed.
Someone could be raising her. She probably doesn't even know she has been kidnapped or maybe she found out something is strange about her birth information, she loves the people who kidnapped her so much that she doesn't want to come forward. But that's just my theory.
I lost my daughter and only child 27 years ago from a brain tumor. But I know what happened to her. I cannot fathom not knowing where she was or what happened to her!! 😭
This reminds me of being at Chuckie Cheese as a kid. Some parents would literally drop their kids off and leave. People don't like to admit that they feel more comfortable letting their kids roam free in "kid friendly" environments...taking your eyes off of them "for a quick second" is how they get lost or abducted.
Tell me about it When my sons were babies I had 1 who was pretty content to stay close but the other? Yikes! I couldnt get him out of his pram or car seat fast enough and he hit the ground rumning..I would blink and he was gone
Teekah has always been in the back of my mind. We are the same age and I live about 40 minutes away from where she was taken. I hope she is found someday
Keep your kids by your side, especially in public. 2 years old is not old enough to be on their own. There is always some weirdo watching for an opportunity.
I feel the same way. She was too young to be allowed to play in another area of the bowling alley even if her mother could see her. A toddler should be in arm's reach at all times.
I agree if she is alive she will most likely look the same but just older her look is not generic at all but very distinctive i hope she sees this if she is still with us smh sad story
@@jabellatv3240 Exactly.... certain people's features change drastically and to me I just don't see it with her. I'm glad u agree. I wasn't sure if anyone else thought the same thing
i guess thats the silver lining in this case- she was taken at an age where her features were distinct. imagine how much more difficult it wouldve been if she was younger, even a baby.
NEVER leave your children unattended. Public spaces are the worse and the distractions are inevitable. Toddlers are curious and adventurous, and people are evil and opportunists. We owe our children our protection. Lord I pray that she is safe.
It's not feasible to live like that. People want to pretend they're saints who have never let their child out of sight for a second but it's a lie to make themselves feel better, like they're better than the innocent people just like them that this happens to. Then one day it's their turn and they don't understand why people are so cruel and judgemental. You get what you give.
@@nadapenny8592 ok it could happen to anybody they can be right next to u and gone in a second. Toddlers are like the flash. My son does it almost everytime we go to the store
I lived in a neighboring county when Teekah disappeared. I have asked many YT creators to look into, bring attention to this case. How quickly she vanished, how quickly the local new stopped talking about this has always haunted me. I stumbled across this Nancy Grace coverage and an so grateful for this attention. Her mom deserves answers, Teekah deserves to be found, returned, whatever that looks like
@@NitaNita1964 there was a dad but he was not around at the time. I know this story very well. My husband and I were almost arrested for kidnapping. If it were not for me having my daughter's shot records and birth certificate on me that day, we would have been arrested. Also my mother and step-dad were at that bowling alley that night.
I have never forgotten about sweet Teekah Lewis. I met this little girl and her mom & sister less than a year before she went missing. I lived 10 minutes from this bowling alley. I hope a time comes when this family will receive some sort of answers..
@@sarahnevitt9961 It’s absolutely ridiculous how much judgment is being placed on this grieving mother. People in the comments love to pretend their super parents, & they can’t ever be distracted. The chances of never looking away from a child is slim to none. The child wasn’t far from her, she turned her head for a couple seconds, & that baby girl vanished. It’s horrible to pretend something like this can never happen to you.
I'm sorry can I ask you do you find it odd that there's no security cameras in the bowling alley and also do you question why the police were not called when two other children were assaulted in that bowling alley I'm sorry there's no reason I picked you it was just a random act not to insult you or anything like that please don't be thinking I replied to because of reason there is none god bless you I just wanted your thaughts on this horrible crime
I kept a leach backpack on my grandson. One day it started lifting up and a stranger man was picking him up. I screamed and he put him down and ran. I was blessed
I'm a 1950s child and my mom had a harness on all 8 of us as a child. I also put a harness until they were around 5yr old. When my grandchild got over 5 years old they wore a bracelet with a strap attached to my hand.❤❤❤❤
I believe that momma probably looked away longer than 10-15 seconds. I don’t think that she is a bad mother, a moment of inattentiveness had led to a life time of heartache.
Exactly we have all been there no matter how diligent we are where we take our eyes off for a second or the child wanders a little off before you realize
I thought so too and you're right, there's no point beating up on someone for something that has already happened. What's that gonna change? It's not as if she's going to make that same mistake again with another child.
Amen I heard of stings where if your in a store one person will come up to you ask you something or do something to distract you then another will grab the child and there is already a get away driver in the front of the store waiting to take off and by the time you realize the child is in the car gone takes a second it’s fuckin crazy and people are sick
That's why I cannot stress it enough to be closer than close to your children! My child is no more than 5ft away from me when she was 2. I feared this her growing up....I pray this baby is ok
She's not a baby anymore. She went missing in 1999. Thank God there are cameras and smartphones and people are more nosy these days or else there would be much more kidnappers that would be hard to find.
Yes, she was clearly too far away from her mother. That has to be a regret. Crowded place, toddler, bar, arcade…. Recipe for disaster. That poor family 😢 Everyone’s worst nightmare. If she knows/suspects where her child is, why isn’t she screaming from the rooftops? It’s a confusing case. Bless her soul, wherever she is 🙏
She's on a bowling league ffs, you cant do both and no one out there ever is going to tell me different. And that's why you probably shouldn't take both choices bcuz YOU CANT. Not that bright I'd say, not sorry, it's truth. Do people even care about their babies when their IQ is around 60 and your still allowed to have babies?
Yea I lost my kid in a store, my stomach felt like I was on a rollercoaster. He had wondered off to the toy isle. I was so relieved, I can't even begin to imagine what these mothers go through 😭💔
yeah i have 8kids all grown now except the last one who is my only daughter and omg my boys were lil monsters at the store its like they wud wait to show off and be on worst behavior every time i went to a mall!!and i have a set of identical twins who r now24and i still cant tell them apart i lost one in jcpenney once they erre climbomg under nite gown racks and i went to pay and couldnt find him omg i was panic screaming for him running around like i was on fire well he was in dressing room putting on spme goant slippers and a hat..lil brat!with a big goofy smile looking in a mirror i was so upset i cant imagine leaving somewhere without my child my heart goes out to all those parents im sure they look over their shoulders nonstop and carry horrible guilt ..so to all those parents stop punishing urself as some looser has done enoff of that its not wt u dodnt do rote its what someone else did wrong!!!tell urself that everytime u feel tht hurt !!&4 rest of us sad but good that these people make is aeare and share their story
Don't have kids but used to roll my eyes at parents who give their 5 year olds an iphone or something. The amount of children found by phone tracking every year is astounding. I don't remember the numbers but it's something like half of missing child cases are resolved by phone gps now. There's also been a steady decline in missing child calls over the last ten years or so as more kids have phones.
😢😢I too lost my daughter in the store. She was 2. I was carrying a basket and had some stuff, and decided to grab a rotisserie chicken, it was too hot to hold and I had to kneel to the ground to rearrange. I get done and look up and she's gone. I was running down the aisles, and found her standing by the cakes handing a young boys hand. He said im so sorry, she wanted to hold my hand. He said I thought if she held it, she wouldn't keep going and you could find her. She said to me " I found the sprinkles". I wanted to cry and throw up. I never been more scared.
Trust me and trust this. This is not a kidnapping for murder. Whoever abducted this child did so with intentions on passing this baby off as thier own.
I'm a 53 year old female that never had kids but have had many kids in my life, related or not on my watch I'm on them...I think them not being mine makes me more intense in always delivering a child back to parents as they came to me. My mom told me I was 3 right next to her, we were in a mall in NY I was just next to her...something caught her eye, something that reminded her of her deceased mother who she lost as a child...it was seconds..I was next to her...then I wasn't. She ran out the store screaming 2 security guys and her just ran and there I was, walking hand in hand with a couple. I rather be a lil paranoid than not. I've taken lol boys in to the women's bathroom or have gone in to men's room and waited for the kid to come out the stall...a predator only needs a second. Parents you have the hardest job in the world, I'm humbled.💗
Wait. They describe the situation as the mother looking over at Teekah playing video games and being able to see her from where mom was bowling🤔. Since when can a 2 year old play video games by themselves? First, video games of 20 years ago would have required assistance of an older person to reach and operate. Secondly, who watches their 2 year old "from a distance" in a crowded bowling alley??😱 I'm so confused by this. 🥴 Something not right. Especially when the mom hesitated and said she knows who took her daughter. She must not think her child is in danger if she knows who it is and hasn't hired an investigator and gone to get her. 🤷🏼
Same thing I was thinking! If you know your 2 year old, couldn’t reach the pedals wouldn’t a parent normally let the child sit in there lap as they press the pedals while the child is steering?! Why wasn’t she near her knowing it was really packed that night? I don’t think she believes she’s alive and that’s why she hasn’t hired a investigator. She’s saying something she doesn’t believe as if she was trying make herself believe she’s still alive.
My middle daughter when she was 7 (she is 24 now) I lost sight of her for ONE second in the beach at Daytona. I was running down the beach steaming her name, I was freaking out … ran into the hotel and called the police. While 911 kept me in the phone, my husband at the time and my step kids hunted the beach. About 30 mins of the worst agony and heartbreak I have ever experienced past (seemed like hours) and in the the lobby walks my eldest stepson holding her hand!! I dropped the phone and ran over to her and grabbed her. I went thru such a range of emotions with her at that moment. Some older kids were building a HUGE sandcastle just a few steps down from where we were laying. There were so many people and kids, I lost sight of her THAT quick. In just a short amount of time I was in a tunnel. I tuned everyone else out and just focused on looking for her. I could not give you specific details of anything or anyone that around at all. I grieve for this mother and hope she finds answers. 😢
I notice when a child goes missing the parent will say " I turned away for a second" and they were gone. I wonder how many times that was a lie and was just a cover for them not watching their child.
Well that’s what happened to John Walsh. His son was decapitated I believe after being abducted in a department store. Kids really move quick and it only takes a second.
yea i agree. That turned to watch the bowling for a second could easily be a minute. Heck the poor kid could have wandered into the bar area slightly out of sight. While they are looking one place and the fun happens someone just snags her up.
That was my first thought, even as nancy pointed out. 20 seconds with a child that is not yours, out the door, to a car and get away. I would have to run my hardest just by myself and i doubt i could do it. It would have to be longer. It has to be.
I’m a mother of three of various ages, that 10 seconds counting while playing hide and seek gives my children time to run from room to room and hide even up and down the stairs, same for me when it’s my turn to hide. 10 seconds does sound a short time and it may of been longer but in my mind they only would of needed to of gotten outside and the door closed after them before her mother looked back to the direction she was at, not needed to be in the car and out of the car park that could of happened after she initially noticed, the mother didn’t run straight out that door as soon as she noticed her missing she looked around inside even behind all the machines etc and informed everyone else there her daughter was missing before they looked outside from what this report said, that sure would of given them plenty of time to get into a car and out of the car park. We can’t say 100% that it was only 10 seconds the same as we cant say 100% that it was even that door they used to exit the building just what was most probable, there really isn’t no evidence here in this video just witness statements of others who were there that night and there’s always human error when it comes to us recounting an event.
I live in Tacoma Washington and I use to live right across the street from their house and I remember this story like it was yesterday so heart breaking. I will never forget her I be thinking I hope she still alive but I wish her mother one day get to be with her again 💔💔💔💔💔
This is beyond heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine losing my child and never knowing what happened. Not knowing of there dead or alive, hungry and scared. The not knowing would kill me.
Little children can get lost literally in the blink of an eye. This case is so heartbreaking. Besides that, why is a 2yr. old not in bed at this night time? Go out in the middle of the night with many family members or another group of ppl., NO ONE watches a 2 yr. old at all times, all of them are distracted, yes and the mom too.
You took the words right out of my mouth! A 2 year old should be under CONSTANT supervision!!! Not late at night in a place that had 300 people in it?!?!
@@samsara-summermooncomehome5881 I'm glad u understand where I'm coming from. This could of happened to any parent.....even Nancy Grace said she's turned her back on her child before at the grocery store and her child was gone. It's easy to say stuff like WHY IS A 2yr OLD NOT IN BED? We don't know the whole situation. The bowling alley probably had a lot of family and family friends there. Things were different back then. It literally happened so fast....she was taken so quick. The only person who is truly at fault is the kidnapper.
Wow. I am so glad that Nancy broadcasted this case. Teeka's mother came to our church about 15 years ago, asking for help and bringing awareness to her missing child. I had previously heard about the bowling alley and Teeka's disappearance but nothing touches you like a mother's plea. I am a mother and grandmother and still cry when I think about what this mother and little Teeka must be going through or the fear the baby must have felt when she was taken from her mother. It's heartbreaking. I pray they will find her to bring peace to this family. 😭😭😭
I remember working retail about 10 years ago when I had a mother frantically run up to me, saying her son was gone. I immediately called a code Adam which is used for missing Children in stores and such. Luckily the child was found safe, but that few minutes was nauseating. I didn't know this woman or child but I felt as though I had lost my own child. It was so scary. Ever since that moment I am hyper aware of not only my nephew when I'm out, but other children wandering alone, crying, etc. You just never know and as a society we all really need to make that effort for all children. Parents need help and we can be helpful without anyone even knowing. I think it's everyone's responsibility.
Really, leave a two-year old along in a bowling alley with over 300 patrons is neglectful in itself. What in the world!!! Why was not the mother at the video games with her daughter?The baby could not even reach the controls. That mom needs to be charged with neglect. Period.
Honestly if the kid is too unpredictable (like a lot of them are) I would have to vote for the backpack lease. It's just a precaution that can save lives until they understand how deadly kidnapping and being away from daddy and mommy with someone dangerous means
@@terezobert2101 It's a preventative safety measure. A predator isn't going to go after a kid attached to their parent. They're going to snatch the kid 6 feet away from a distracted parent.
We call them walking reins in the UK. My daughter would rather walk than sit in her buggy as soon as she could walk steadily about 18 months. It was easier to keep hold of her as well to push her brother in his pram. Both are severely autistic. I had my daughter on them until she was 5 y son was 10. They are 19 and 22 now. I can honestly say they wouldn't be here with us today if I hadn't used them. I am sure James Bulger's mother regrets no using them.
Exactly... She probably knew this person that "took" her... And also the mother says she's might know who did it but nothing came of that... Makes no sense...
They have ways to conduct with your children.. very friendly..candy/ pets. She was only a baby.. she doesn't know better...I pray they find her safe.. Could have been a woman or several people working together...
I’ve seen videos of older women literally LURING toddlers or attempting to push strollers away while a parent is turned away in a different direction. Either child selling or a woman wanting a child of their own I’d guess. Terrible 😢 awful scenario!
What really saddens me is that when it comes to children that have been kidnapped and raised by another family for years and years, if found they then have to suffer through finding out the mom or dad or both that loved them really wasn’t their parents and they are actually quite evil. And when being reunited with their biological family there’s never an immediate connection and sometimes the children don’t want anything to do with their biological family. Or they just don’t want to believe that they were kidnapped and will shun their biological family. Essentially they may be better off not ever knowing but of course that’s not fair as their biological family will always suffer, no matter if it’s 5 or 35 or60 years later.
You ain't lying it is a sad messed up situation it's almost like the child blames the bio parents thinking they didn't want them when that wasn't true at all..I can't remember the name of the movie but I watched a movie about that scenario and it was definitely heartbreaking but in the end the daughter ended up giving bio mom a chance and they got close
Exactly! Of the cases I've seen the daughter prefers the non biological mom over the biological mom. They're never happy to be found. Look at that case in South Africa. The kidnapped daughter said, that she was perfectly find where she was and seemed annoyed at her biological parents.
I truly hope she was kidnapped and raised by another family. As awful as that is, it is better than being sexually assaulted and murdered, and buried in a shallow grave somewhere.
Part of it, understandably, the bio family doesn't give the child a chance to adjust feeling offended for the connection the child has with the abductor. I can only imagine and I know they just wanna love them up but they have to also see it from the child's perspective and ease back into their parent/child relationship.
As someone who was lured into a strangers home, and molested.. it’s made me extremely cautious with both of my daughters. I won’t even let them out if my sight.
@@MichelleTurnz never the type I deserved. He went to jail, but bonded out within a week. Basically a slap on the wrist. It’s sad, because after he was released he went on to rape his own granddaughter, he denied it and his daughter believed him over her own baby so he was never in trouble. He eventually died about 3 years ago now.
The day my sweet 8 year old blonde daughter came home with a kitten, as did her 2 little friends; was the day I believe I gave her her only spanking. After all my many talks they actually entered a man's house who offered them free kittens. Thank God he was an honest man and her dad actually let her keep the cat, for over 10 years.
Love Nancy Grace. She's awesome & really gets the story out. I hope the little girl returns to her Mama but the longer it takes, hearts start sinking. So sad.
You’ve commented so many times. I PROMISE YOU MY FAMILY WERE LOOKING AWAY FOR less than 30 seconds and she was gone. DONT BLAME MY MOTHER FOR SHIT. SHIT HAUNTS HER FOR THE PAST 22 years!! THANK YOU! SHUT TF UP WITH YOUR CONSPIRACY
@@Tameekamarie are u the sister of teeka ( hope spelled right )? If so I am so sorry for what y'all have been having to endure & all the bad comments u have to read sometimes... Well I hope something can still be done in this case and this poor beautiful girl is found alive bc their has been ppl that habe been found many many years later... I wish u & u family all the best & plz tell u mom for me I send her all my love & prayers 💝💝 & u guys be safe & I hope & pray for you & your whole family!!
@Gramisul times were different back then. Every family member took turns watching her. Let’s be real, children wander off all the time. How about you not blame my family and actually blame the sick fuck who preys on children!! You should be able to blink and your child still be where you left them
@@Tameekamarie Don't let it get to you. Its easy for us all to say what if, and its easy to let your guard down in a child friendly environment. I am thinking she should have been watched at all times, yet at the same time, I know it has happened to me with my children at some point. You feel comfortable in your environment, they dissapear out of sight for a moment, you don't panic, you look, its that easy. This was just the wrong place at the wrong time, and a very bad person took her, it takes just seconds, if someone is targeting a place. Not many can say they have not lost sight of their child at some point, so don't feel bad. I am sure she is alive somewhere, and would have been sold to a couple without children.
My daughter is almost 7, and I do not let her out of my sight, ever. At the store, she's in the cart or holding on, never goes to the bathroom alone, and rarely goes to friends houses alone. You never know where creeps are. My heart breaks for Teekahs mother, and I hope she comes home. It's been what, 23 years now? I hope Teekah is okay.
👏🏽 Keep it that way Ma! People called me “paranoid” and “overprotective,” for years. Idgaf!!! 8/10 times a child is SA’d, it’s someone they know! A “friend” of the family, a friends parent/family member. You never can be too careful when it comes to your children! Thank you for sharing this. In a world where a lot of young Mothers would let Anyone “babysit,” to go out and party, it’s so nice to know that there are plenty of young women like you! God bless you Miss Ivorella, and your beautiful family! Keep up the great work Ma!!
@@nunyabidnazz2311 you literally just made my whole day 🥺 thank you 🥰 but you are correct, it's more common by people they already know and I'll never let anything happen to her. You're wonderful and sweet. Have a great day 🥰
I believe the white man that molested the little boy at the bowling alley after she went missing is the one who did it. He was caught trying to lure kids more than once and yet the employees never called the police smh! He was even driving the same car the last described driving crazy out of the parking lot that night Teekah went missing.
Are we all going to ignore the fact her mom changed her story? She said at first she turned to watch her uncle bowl then about 3/4 of the way into the video she says she stepped away to bowl herself. It cant be both?
In any case, her mistake is probably from guilt. She's trying to justify her reason for looking away. Every mothers nightmare - I don't think she was involved.
this is heartbreaking.. my daughter just turned 23 this July. :( she would have been a year older than her. Im so sorry to the mama and family. And I m truly sorry for whatever this lil angel endured. I hope she is truly at peace .💟🌸🌜
It’s not hard to believe no one saw anything because you have to watch your own kids,,, people are there to have fun and if you are a stranger, you do not know what you are looking at when you see a grown up pick up a child, etc,,, You don’t think anything of it,,,
Right Because someone came out saying they Seen her with a Male or Female Carrying her and she was crying they Just thought she's a Baby who don't want To leave
Who takes a 2-year old to a bowling alley? Mom should have either left the child at home with trusted babysitter if she wanted some social time or else she should have stayed home with her and realised that when you have a small child that child is your priority not going out bowling IMO!
@@robyndaniels1381 You sound dumb lol a lot of ppl take kids to bowling alleys. Bowling alleys are for kids too hints as to why they have video arcades and bowling for kids inside 😑 she probably didn’t want to leave her child with someone who was not family most of the family was at the alley anyway.
@@terezobert2101 Maybe not but still no place for a toddler IMO - you need eyes in the back of your head with kids this young - they can easily wander off and get into trouble, get snatched - once your eyes are off the kids and on your own pleasures (eg bowling) all kinds of problems ensue - don't have kids if not prepared to take care of them properly
That’s a good point. Do we know the door had an alarm? I may have missed this part of the video. Surely they looked into employees and regulars. But if it had a broken alarm, like you said, had to be someone that knew that. Also, I thought they said they had security cameras but they weren’t working? If that’s the case they had to know that too
@@noelinerenwick5347 Well, would you know this because YOU killed her? I mean, you must have some inside knowledge if you're so sure. It's possible she is alive - it's happened before. She wouldn't even know, being taken at that age - she'd have no clue. So unless you killed her or found her body and didn't tell anyone I'm not sure how you can be so sure beyond your own illusion of knowledge.
@@shaniqu3_ this story is a little different cuz you heard Nancy say there was a couple of other incidents with children there. If it was the man with the brown hair, she probably no longer alive.
Indeed. For some reason I hv a strong belief that this child is not dad. And it was either a women or a couple who took her. I just pray they didn't harm her🙏
She is such a beautiful little girl, having a son myself i cant imagine the pain and suffering her mum is going through, i hope that Teekah is still alive and safe and that she finds out who her mum is and try's to look for her.
When was a child/teenager I’ve seen other parents just having their children walking 🚶♀️ behind them and not holding their hands 🙌 smh 🤦♀️ You have to watch your children
This took place 2 decades ago. Lots and lots of places didn't have cameras at that time. If they did, they used the same tapes looped over and over because it was expensive to keep putting in new cassettes and storing them was also a pain in the rear. I am sure the bowling alley has come along with the digital age by now. Poor mom...I can't imagine her ever finding peace.
But they did. And they weren’t working. There’s a look when that happens- who there knew the camera wasn’t working and might have acted upon that knowledge.
On 2 separate occasions I've found unattended kids wondering around Odyssey Fun World, both babies about 2. Unable to give their names or their parent's name. These babies didn't cry and or give any resistance to me. But I made sure they were safe. I immediately found the manager to make an announcement. Glad they came across me and not some sicko!
I wonder if he took a lie dectector test? Not that he took her but maybe he saw something and decided to stay quiet. For many reasons but maybe he didn't want to raise another mans baby? IDK?
People have no heart they don't know the damage they have done that baby will never know who her real mom is unless she grows up asking questions or maybe God will give her clues so one day she can find her real mommy
Right nobody seen a man or person walk out or run out of there with any child ppl so stupid if u seen something say something the mama just need to say she wasn't watching her an realize the child was gone 20 or 30min or an hour later
The mother left the child to go bowl while the child, who couldn't reach the pedals, was pretending to be playing video game, this is one of many sad cases of child neglect. I hope the baby girl is alive and well taken care of, most probably not.
If there had been even a hint of neglect,believe me, Nancy would have said so. She is never an advocate of a criminal especially when children are involved. The Mom didn't bowl. It was one of her relative's turn and she turned her head to watch him. Then she turned around and child gone. No one except yourself has alleged neglect and if they did they are just adding to the parents' grief. Be careful in the way you describe things
It may just be cuz it's been so long she thinks of Her as no longer being alive.nit sure though Im gonna watch the other interviews where ppl say mom said she thinks she knows who took her which is strange why that was never followed up or looked into
I’m sorry but it’s been 22 years most kidnapped kids are killed in the first 24 hours. We all know that she is died and the mama finally excepted it. At first for years she didn’t not want to accepted it and kept saying she was alive.
Why was a two year old ever out of your sight? That's crazy. Every parent knows not to let your guard down. Ever. Unless you are at home. Even then toddlers get into everything. She should never be out of the sight of an adult or someone old enough to be held responsible. R.i.p. Baby James Bulger.
@@RB-sm3eu It had to be longer, from what they explained it looks physically impossible for someone to take her out of the building and out of the parking lot from where she was within seconds. It had to be longer
Nobody can watch a child every second of every day. She was watching her child and only glanced away for 10-15 seconds. Count it out and you will see it only takes a split second to take a child.
@@RB-sm3eu Try but also because I have a 5 year old And if we was in line I went to pay for my Stuff I put her in the cart at that age Now at 5 I tell her to stand in front of me,Go with her Auntie or stand on the Cart I'm not blaming the Mother Because we was on the store by the Clothes I looked at a outfit and my 5 year Old daughter was gone I was saying her Name crying and she popped out of the Clothes,I was angry at her but I was Glad nobody took her
She should not have been watching her from a distance !! she should have been with her !! I blame the mom period ! she gave a predator the opportunity by not watching her 2 yr old daughter . I hope that mom had the time of her life , she was having fun instead of taking care of her child and having her 2 yr old close to her like she should have been .
I know its not a good thought, but its more like, for child tracking. They would have been watching her like a hawk then took her. They are professionals. So sad….
There are so many of these men in our midst, more than we realise, who prey on children and wait for a moment to grab a child. A minute is a very long time to not have your eyes on your child.
If I didn't have highly tuned "mommy radar," I would have lost my youngest when he was three. I was paying for his new tennis shoes, but was keeping a close eye as he bounced around the store. As he headed in the direction of the double doored entry to the mall, I was literally bending backwards to watch him as he got closer and closer to the doors, me waiting as the clerk rang up my purchase. As I am staring at my son, a man who was standing by a shoe rack near the entrance, slowly turned and looked at me. Our eyes locked; I believe he was not prepared to see me watching my son so closely. If I had looked away even for a minute, he could have swept my son out the exit and I would not have even known where to look. I ran past the man and grabbed my son, and as I passed the man going back still frozen to his spot, I noticed the rack of shoes he was standing behind were women's high heels. Mothers, WATCH YOUR BABIES!
Wait, the mom KNOWS, or THINK she knows, who kidnapped her daughter?! Huh?! She has a strange look on her face, almost a smirk, when she said it, too! Hmmm......strange. I wonder if it WAS a family member, after all!
When we were little (I’m now 66) we were always kept on reigns when we were toddlers, and the reigns harness was clipped into the metal rings in the pram when we were in the pram. We always used reigns on our children. I honestly don’t understand why parents don’t use them anymore🤷♀ There’s even more weirdos and risks these days. Even the numbers of vehicles on the roads has increased, making it more important to keep youngsters safe at such a young age. There really should be a resurgence in the use of reigns for toddlers
my baby boy when he was 1 year old (old enough to walk) once wandered out of the house when i was spring cleaning. i didnt think he was strong enough to push open the screen door but he was. i got carried away on a hard task and i had noticed the house was too quiet. every parent knows that "too quiet" in the house is never good. I looked around and panicked because i didn't see him anywhere. come to find out he was outside in the front yard nearing the sidewalk into the street. Ive never almost had a heart attack in my life. the only reason he didn't fully make it was because he had no shoes on and babies don't liek the feeling of grass and gravel on their bare feet. I thank god that my senses and awareness caught him before something bad could have happened. The only reason I am still in this decrepit world is because of my babies. I am not mentally able to handle something happening to them. i will admit it now. God forbid if something happened to one of mine, I'd have to be put on suicide watch
Teekah’s father was in prison at the time she went missing; he was about halfway through a four-year sentence for theft. Why did Nancy lie? It’s not a difficult detail to find out. What else do these TV personalities lie about or are they too lazy to do a little research? Her producers know better.
A 2 year old child should be supervised very very closely.. not watched at a distance. Especially the place had a lot of people so you should be even more cautious. This is a natural instinct of protection, some parents/carers are just too slack. Like seeing small children walking behind their parent / carer. This annoys me massively, how are you supposed to watch a child behind you? So very careless... then cry when something happens.
Nancy grace hit it on the nail . Somebody was sitting on the side line watching the family and kid and awaiting for the perfect opportunity to take her
I was there when it happened, I was 5. I remember when everybody started panicking about a little girl missing. One of my earliest memories. I will always hope they find teekah..
I used to say I didn't understand how parents lost their kids in the store...until I lost my daughter in Walmart. It was scariest thing in my life. Thank goodness she was just hiding in the clothes rack but geez . It does happen that quick.
This happened to me the exact same way. My daughter did the same thang. She was literally standing next to me. A split second she was gone. My heart dropped. I panicked so bad. Screaming her name she jumped out from inside clothes rack and said boo I scared you mama. I told her don’t ever do that again
@@B-undeniable91 this happened to me too she was hiding in the racks I looked away for half a second that 10 seconds I couldn’t see he my heat sank and I felt absolutely ILL . I couldn’t imagine
I did the same thing in Woodwards. The racks were round, I just stepped into the middle. I was 3. I was surprised they got so angry, I didn't feel cared for. I knew what I was doing but I don't know why I did it. Maybe a bit of revenge I think. Kids are much smarter than most people realize. We are Eternal Souls having a Human experience. Try to remember that is a fully conscious soul inside that Toddler.
Omg my son was 3 I’ll never forget I always had him in a cart, this day I was only running in for one thing and I was with my bc so I figured between the bother of us it will be okay, well…my son thought it was funny to run away from me he turned a corner I freaked out bc I lost the sight of him, my bf went one way I went the other, it wasn’t more then 20sec but scared the daylights out of us, it happens, so scary.
My daughter did the same thing inside a round clothes rack. Scared the hell out of me. When I found her she was just giggling away.
There was also a 17 yo male that saw Teekah on the news and immediately contacted the police. He told them about his encounter with a guy that was extremely rude, slamming into him while holding a little girl that looked just like Teekah (on his way to the bathroom) and that the guy was heading towards the exit near the arcade area. In that moment he thought the man was her dad, extremely rude, and just in a hurry. He says the police never contacted him back. The 17 yo described this male as white, 5'11, with shoulder length brown curly hair, a thick mustache, and severely pock-marked face. The reason this IS significant is because a week later a news crew was at the bowling alley 1 week after Teekah's kidnapping reenacting the event. One of the crew noticed a guy watching them nearby, "acting strangely" and notified the police with THE EXACT SAME DESCRIPTION not knowing anything about the 17 yo at all contacting the police about his encounter. A new detective recently reexamining the case noticed this and is confused why this information was missed! They need to issue a composite of this person!
Wow smh who the hell is this mystery guy does he work there or does he just come to take kids
Damn this broke my heart. He got away due to human negligence poor baby
That is awful.
I wonder if he was a local.
You’re absolutely right, there NEEDS to be a composite of that specific male blasted across MSM and social media.
I know it sounds crazy, but if that suspect is really a local and still living there, the best place to try to find him is to look at local grocery stores footage over the period of two weeks and interview cashiers to see if they have seen a man with a poshmark face like the witness has seen. Everybody needs to go there, because everybody needs to eat. I would start there.
@@Amy-fk5we good point.
I don’t trust people at all. My son is 7 and when he goes to the bathroom in public I stand near the bathroom door, just to make sure I know who’s coming in and out. . I never allow him to wonder off on his own. Ever
Ditto!!
Yes stay vigilant & do what is best for you/your family. It's okay, if you want, take him in the bathroom with you. There was an incident that happened here in San Diego County years ago, while at the beach, where a young boy went to the bathroom nearby, & something tragic happened to him. I remember the mother's remorse of not being able to prevent the incident because of being so close by. My son was around the same age; after that, until he was old enough to handle himself, he went into the bathroom with me.
Girl my son goes in the ladies room with me, same stall and all lol me and my baby are ONE and both get anxiety when away from each other for too long, which has been two weeks when he went to his aunts house for the summer THIS year lol he FaceTimed everyday if I didn't beat him to it. I talk about these types of situations and practice staged scenarios to make sure he stays on point. He knows the difference between gun shots and fireworks when both are happening around the same time (new years, 4th july) we're from Baltimore but live in DC and go back and forth often to visit family. So that's another reason its important that we practice safety procedures for all types of situations.
That's great 🖤
@@donnab.333 oh dear I'm glad u keep ur son with u!
Only takes seconds for a child to be snatched in a public place, your yard and yes even your home.
So very true.
Very true
Nancy Grace describes the moment you lose sight of your child so well, absolute panic until you find them, and the idea you might not it literally takes your breath away to even contemplate.
She know it so well
Because she has Kids herself
The not knowing would drive me insane. How heartbreaking for her loved ones.
My heart goes out to this family. When I see something like this I realise how very blessed I am still to have all three our children (my dearly beloved husband, their father) died of leukemia in 2000) and now their children - all the joys this little girl's family was robbed off. My sincere condolences.
The mother needs to add her DNA to every DNA site going.. then if Teekah is still alive, she might also one day submit her DNA and find a match.
And probably raising her as their own smh
@@nisicastro4748 That's exactly what I was saying. If she is alive, she won't remember her birth parents. Some kids who were kidnapped since that young age are being raised by kidnappers. And if that's the case, then when they get older, they're going to know something isn't right or that they don't have ID or information but they're so connected to their "new family" that they don't want to spill the beans. Not all kidnappers kill their victims.
@Lou Ellen DNA isn't only taken when someone is prosecuted or charged with a crime. A lot of people just want to trace their ancestry. Sometimes people do it for medical reasons too. Any of those reasons could possibly help solve this. It has happened often.
@@sharithebaglady3842 the comment is about the sites for ancestors or 23 n me.
You didn’t get that?
@@heatherg1706 no I totally got it. The person I was responding to left a comment stating that I guess we wanted her to be a criminal or something. The comment has since been deleted.
Whomever took her was probably watching Teekah and her family the whole time and waiting for the opportunity for them to take her.
That’s what I think too. That sicko was basically hunting.
Yup… when my daughter was young I remember being at a public place with lots of kids… and a single man walking around standing waaaaay too close to people’s kids. I went and found security
@@isitoveryet9525 Yup typical predator preying on its victims
@@MimiB1974 Good!!! Could u imagine what could of happened if you didn't warn security
Exactly and that could have been done in a split second.
Adorable little girl. I cannot fathom the torment this would be for the mother. Nothing scarier for a parent, I pray Teekah is somewhere alive and hasn't been harmed.
Someone could be raising her. She probably doesn't even know she has been kidnapped or maybe she found out something is strange about her birth information, she loves the people who kidnapped her so much that she doesn't want to come forward. But that's just my theory.
I lost my daughter and only child 27 years ago from a brain tumor. But I know what happened to her. I cannot fathom not knowing where she was or what happened to her!! 😭
@@SKC193 I'm so sorry to hear that, honestly. It must never get easier. My heart goes out to you.
@@SundayBlues555 Anyone who could kidnap a child has an evil heart and/or deeply disturbed, not capable of real love.
@@SKC193 A child? she's in heaven and very happy.
This reminds me of being at Chuckie Cheese as a kid. Some parents would literally drop their kids off and leave. People don't like to admit that they feel more comfortable letting their kids roam free in "kid friendly" environments...taking your eyes off of them "for a quick second" is how they get lost or abducted.
Tell me about it
When my sons were babies I had 1 who was pretty content to stay close but the other? Yikes!
I couldnt get him out of his pram or car seat fast enough and he hit the ground rumning..I would blink and he was gone
Ppl p
Those are the worst places to be relaxed that’s where predators go and look for victims that are not being watched
T completely agree , I remember the same , like it was ok .... to jus leave they small babies kids unattended
Smh..... praying 4 the family
....Or worst!!!🥺
Teekah has always been in the back of my mind. We are the same age and I live about 40 minutes away from where she was taken. I hope she is found someday
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
If you ever hear any updates please come back and share

It's been 22 years and I'm sad to say I think she's gone.
@@lizhjelmeseth5485 yeah.. :(. Even if not, she was so young and wouldn’t know that this happened to her.
I lived 10 minutes away from where she was taken I was 7 turning 8. Now I live 25 minutes from there and now the bowling alley is a Home Depot now
Keep your kids by your side, especially in public. 2 years old is not old enough to be on their own. There is always some weirdo watching for an opportunity.
I feel the same way. She was too young to be allowed to play in another area of the bowling alley even if her mother could see her. A toddler should be in arm's reach at all times.
Children at ANY age are not safe anymore........and stay off your phone.
Like an eagle 😬
Agreed!!
Teekah has one of those faces where she probably looks the same as a adult. So hopefully she will see this one day….if she’s still with us 😢😢
I agree if she is alive she will most likely look the same but just older her look is not generic at all but very distinctive i hope she sees this if she is still with us smh sad story
@@jabellatv3240 Exactly.... certain people's features change drastically and to me I just don't see it with her. I'm glad u agree. I wasn't sure if anyone else thought the same thing
I get that cause I'm like that too. I look pretty much the same as my Kindergarten picture here.
Was thinking the same
i guess thats the silver lining in this case- she was taken at an age where her features were distinct. imagine how much more difficult it wouldve been if she was younger, even a baby.
NEVER leave your children unattended. Public spaces are the worse and the distractions are inevitable. Toddlers are curious and adventurous, and people are evil and opportunists. We owe our children our protection. Lord I pray that she is safe.
Yep totally agree
Amen 🙏 😔
It can take a second.
It's not feasible to live like that. People want to pretend they're saints who have never let their child out of sight for a second but it's a lie to make themselves feel better, like they're better than the innocent people just like them that this happens to.
Then one day it's their turn and they don't understand why people are so cruel and judgemental. You get what you give.
@@nadapenny8592 ok it could happen to anybody they can be right next to u and gone in a second. Toddlers are like the flash. My son does it almost everytime we go to the store
I lived in a neighboring county when Teekah disappeared. I have asked many YT creators to look into, bring attention to this case. How quickly she vanished, how quickly the local new stopped talking about this has always haunted me. I stumbled across this Nancy Grace coverage and an so grateful for this attention. Her mom deserves answers, Teekah deserves to be found, returned, whatever that looks like
So sad 😢 She has been missing for 22 years. I pray she is alive and sees this! 🙏 Maybe something will trigger her memory.
Omg 😳 💔💔😢 how incredibly heartbreaking 💔
Wonder why no dad mention. Praying she is alive and was not harmed
I thought it was 12 which is bad enough
@@NitaNita1964 there was a dad but he was not around at the time. I know this story very well. My husband and I were almost arrested for kidnapping. If it were not for me having my daughter's shot records and birth certificate on me that day, we would have been arrested. Also my mother and step-dad were at that bowling alley that night.
@@jan-michele3546 so they thought your daughter was teeka?
I have never forgotten about sweet Teekah Lewis. I met this little girl and her mom & sister less than a year before she went missing. I lived 10 minutes from this bowling alley. I hope a time comes when this family will receive some sort of answers..
Crime of opportunity, thats the key word ‘Opportunity’. Don’t give evil the opportunity.
Shut the hell up!
I agree
I hate to blame the parents but I go bowling with my 2 year old and I never take my eyes off of her or allow her more than a few feet away from me.
@@sarahnevitt9961 It’s absolutely ridiculous how much judgment is being placed on this grieving mother. People in the comments love to pretend their super parents, & they can’t ever be distracted. The chances of never looking away from a child is slim to none. The child wasn’t far from her, she turned her head for a couple seconds, & that baby girl vanished. It’s horrible to pretend something like this can never happen to you.
Sorry, some of us actually watch our kids all the time. 🙋♀️🤷♀️
I’m so grateful they’re airing these now because these babies are reaching ages they need to start being responsible. 💔 so I hope they’re still alive.
I'm sorry can I ask you do you find it odd that there's no security cameras in the bowling alley and also do you question why the police were not called when two other children were assaulted in that bowling alley I'm sorry there's no reason I picked you it was just a random act not to insult you or anything like that please don't be thinking I replied to because of reason there is none god bless you I just wanted your thaughts on this horrible crime
I kept a leach backpack on my grandson. One day it started lifting up and a stranger man was picking him up. I screamed and he put him down and ran. I was blessed
I'm a 1950s child and my mom had a harness on all 8 of us as a child. I also put a harness until they were around 5yr old. When my grandchild got over 5 years old they wore a bracelet with a strap attached to my hand.❤❤❤❤
Oh hell no that’s crazy
I believe that momma probably looked away longer than 10-15 seconds. I don’t think that she is a bad mother, a moment of inattentiveness had led to a life time of heartache.
Exactly we have all been there no matter how diligent we are where we take our eyes off for a second or the child wanders a little off before you realize
I thought so too and you're right, there's no point beating up on someone for something that has already happened. What's that gonna change? It's not as if she's going to make that same mistake again with another child.
Exactly let’s be real occasionally we get distracted and remember oh yes let me make sure my babies are good
She also had a 10 month old baby with her which no one mentions
Oh well watch you kids@@isabelle4169
So glad to see Nancy back. These kids that go missing need to have a voice . She is that voice. Keep your kids close to you.
Amen I heard of stings where if your in a store one person will come up to you ask you something or do something to distract you then another will grab the child and there is already a get away driver in the front of the store waiting to take off and by the time you realize the child is in the car gone takes a second it’s fuckin crazy and people are sick
Oh my gosh, this story makes my heart ache.
I would LOVE to hear what Nancy Grace thinks about the Summer Wells case🤔
Gosh I miss her show
@NancyGrace
You and me both . I’ve been following that story since day one. I’m praying that both of these cases will be solved 🌻🌻🌻
Me too
Omg yes plus the west case too
Yes me too.
Same that's how I started watching this... looked for Nancy grace and summer wells this popped up
That's why I cannot stress it enough to be closer than close to your children! My child is no more than 5ft away from me when she was 2. I feared this her growing up....I pray this baby is ok
She's not a baby anymore. She went missing in 1999. Thank God there are cameras and smartphones and people are more nosy these days or else there would be much more kidnappers that would be hard to find.
Yes, she was clearly too far away from her mother. That has to be a regret. Crowded place, toddler, bar, arcade…. Recipe for disaster. That poor family 😢 Everyone’s worst nightmare.
If she knows/suspects where her child is, why isn’t she screaming from the rooftops? It’s a confusing case.
Bless her soul, wherever she is 🙏
@@lisadaniel7193 Yes! This is so true.
My child was always right by my side with her hand in mine. I don't get how people let their kids wander around.
She's on a bowling league ffs, you cant do both and no one out there ever is going to tell me different. And that's why you probably shouldn't take both choices bcuz YOU CANT. Not that bright I'd say, not sorry, it's truth. Do people even care about their babies when their IQ is around 60 and your still allowed to have babies?
Yea I lost my kid in a store, my stomach felt like I was on a rollercoaster. He had wondered off to the toy isle. I was so relieved, I can't even begin to imagine what these mothers go through 😭💔
yeah i have 8kids all grown now except the last one who is my only daughter and omg my boys were lil monsters at the store its like they wud wait to show off and be on worst behavior every time i went to a mall!!and i have a set of identical twins who r now24and i still cant tell them apart i lost one in jcpenney once they erre climbomg under nite gown racks and i went to pay and couldnt find him omg i was panic screaming for him running around like i was on fire well he was in dressing room putting on spme goant slippers and a hat..lil brat!with a big goofy smile looking in a mirror i was so upset i cant imagine leaving somewhere without my child my heart goes out to all those parents im sure they look over their shoulders nonstop and carry horrible guilt ..so to all those parents stop punishing urself as some looser has done enoff of that its not wt u dodnt do rote its what someone else did wrong!!!tell urself that everytime u feel tht hurt !!&4 rest of us sad but good that these people make is aeare and share their story
Don't have kids but used to roll my eyes at parents who give their 5 year olds an iphone or something.
The amount of children found by phone tracking every year is astounding. I don't remember the numbers but it's something like half of missing child cases are resolved by phone gps now. There's also been a steady decline in missing child calls over the last ten years or so as more kids have phones.
😢😢I too lost my daughter in the store. She was 2. I was carrying a basket and had some stuff, and decided to grab a rotisserie chicken, it was too hot to hold and I had to kneel to the ground to rearrange. I get done and look up and she's gone. I was running down the aisles, and found her standing by the cakes handing a young boys hand. He said im so sorry, she wanted to hold my hand. He said I thought if she held it, she wouldn't keep going and you could find her. She said to me " I found the sprinkles". I wanted to cry and throw up. I never been more scared.
So sad i can't imagine but i hope she's alive and happy somewhere i hope whoever took her is taking care of her and not hurting her 🌹💖🇨🇦
Trust me and trust this. This is not a kidnapping for murder. Whoever abducted this child did so with intentions on passing this baby off as thier own.
@Ben Grimm we sure do live in a messed up world there's plenty of evil people around us smh
Sounds like the Carlina White story.
@@MamiOf3kids how she was kidnapped from the hospital as a tiny baby. They also new for sure who carlinas kidnapper was just not her name at the time.
I'm a 53 year old female that never had kids but have had many kids in my life, related or not on my watch I'm on them...I think them not being mine makes me more intense in always delivering a child back to parents as they came to me. My mom told me I was 3 right next to her, we were in a mall in NY I was just next to her...something caught her eye, something that reminded her of her deceased mother who she lost as a child...it was seconds..I was next to her...then I wasn't. She ran out the store screaming 2 security guys and her just ran and there I was, walking hand in hand with a couple. I rather be a lil paranoid than not. I've taken lol boys in to the women's bathroom or have gone in to men's room and waited for the kid to come out the stall...a predator only needs a second.
Parents you have the hardest job in the world, I'm humbled.💗
Wow, they were trying to take you! Did they get charges at least or did they have an elaborate wonderful lie to tell.
Your family and friends are lucky to have someone as caring and vigilant as you in them and their kids corner.
Wait. They describe the situation as the mother looking over at Teekah playing video games and being able to see her from where mom was bowling🤔. Since when can a 2 year old play video games by themselves? First, video games of 20 years ago would have required assistance of an older person to reach and operate. Secondly, who watches their 2 year old "from a distance" in a crowded bowling alley??😱 I'm so confused by this. 🥴 Something not right. Especially when the mom hesitated and said she knows who took her daughter. She must not think her child is in danger if she knows who it is and hasn't hired an investigator and gone to get her. 🤷🏼
Same thing I was thinking! If you know your 2 year old, couldn’t reach the pedals wouldn’t a parent normally let the child sit in there lap as they press the pedals while the child is steering?! Why wasn’t she near her knowing it was really packed that night? I don’t think she believes she’s alive and that’s why she hasn’t hired a investigator. She’s saying something she doesn’t believe as if she was trying make herself believe she’s still alive.
@@dominique4977 oh that's an interesting possibility --that she's trying to make herself believe. 🤔
Hire an investigator!?! NO. Go get her yourself.
The mom said she was playing BY the video games
I was thinking the same thing. If she knew who took her why didn’t Nancy mentioned that part.
My middle daughter when she was 7 (she is 24 now) I lost sight of her for ONE second in the beach at Daytona. I was running down the beach steaming her name, I was freaking out … ran into the hotel and called the police. While 911 kept me in the phone, my husband at the time and my step kids hunted the beach. About 30 mins of the worst agony and heartbreak I have ever experienced past (seemed like hours) and in the the lobby walks my eldest stepson holding her hand!! I dropped the phone and ran over to her and grabbed her. I went thru such a range of emotions with her at that moment. Some older kids were building a HUGE sandcastle just a few steps down from where we were laying. There were so many people and kids, I lost sight of her THAT quick. In just a short amount of time I was in a tunnel. I tuned everyone else out and just focused on looking for her. I could not give you specific details of anything or anyone that around at all. I grieve for this mother and hope she finds answers. 😢
I notice when a child goes missing the parent will say " I turned away for a second" and they were gone. I wonder how many times that was a lie and was just a cover for them not watching their child.
Well that’s what happened to John Walsh. His son was decapitated I believe after being abducted in a department store. Kids really move quick and it only takes a second.
@@MiaMya396 I meant the parents who lose their kids in secluded area's like the woods.
yea i agree. That turned to watch the bowling for a second could easily be a minute. Heck the poor kid could have wandered into the bar area slightly out of sight. While they are looking one place and the fun happens someone just snags her up.
That was my first thought, even as nancy pointed out. 20 seconds with a child that is not yours, out the door, to a car and get away. I would have to run my hardest just by myself and i doubt i could do it. It would have to be longer. It has to be.
I’m a mother of three of various ages, that 10 seconds counting while playing hide and seek gives my children time to run from room to room and hide even up and down the stairs, same for me when it’s my turn to hide. 10 seconds does sound a short time and it may of been longer but in my mind they only would of needed to of gotten outside and the door closed after them before her mother looked back to the direction she was at, not needed to be in the car and out of the car park that could of happened after she initially noticed, the mother didn’t run straight out that door as soon as she noticed her missing she looked around inside even behind all the machines etc and informed everyone else there her daughter was missing before they looked outside from what this report said, that sure would of given them plenty of time to get into a car and out of the car park. We can’t say 100% that it was only 10 seconds the same as we cant say 100% that it was even that door they used to exit the building just what was most probable, there really isn’t no evidence here in this video just witness statements of others who were there that night and there’s always human error when it comes to us recounting an event.
I'm praying that she's found safe and back with mom. I can't even imagine..
This happened in 1999 and she still hasn't been found
Poor mother. Such a beautiful child, it breaks my heart to think of what may have happened to her.
I live in Tacoma Washington and I use to live right across the street from their house and I remember this story like it was yesterday so heart breaking. I will never forget her I be thinking I hope she still alive but I wish her mother one day get to be with her again 💔💔💔💔💔
This is beyond heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine losing my child and never knowing what happened. Not knowing of there dead or alive, hungry and scared. The not knowing would kill me.
Huh???? Momma says she knows where she is, who has her....
So why TF u not gon got her then?? Really Bish ? Really ?
It didn’t make any sense to watch a two year old from a distance but this comment she made really put the icing on the cake!
She didn't say she knew where she was she just saw the guy before hand a lot of people saw him
Little children can get lost literally in the blink of an eye.
This case is so heartbreaking.
Besides that, why is a 2yr. old not in bed at this night time? Go out in the middle of the night with many family members or another group of ppl., NO ONE watches a 2 yr. old at all times, all of them are distracted, yes and the mom too.
You took the words right out of my mouth! A 2 year old should be under CONSTANT supervision!!! Not late at night in a place that had 300 people in it?!?!
🙄🙄 Please stop.
Right I almost feel like she was never there
@@TrueCrimeJunkie-p8b ikr?🙄
@@samsara-summermooncomehome5881 I'm glad u understand where I'm coming from. This could of happened to any parent.....even Nancy Grace said she's turned her back on her child before at the grocery store and her child was gone. It's easy to say stuff like WHY IS A 2yr OLD NOT IN BED? We don't know the whole situation. The bowling alley probably had a lot of family and family friends there. Things were different back then. It literally happened so fast....she was taken so quick. The only person who is truly at fault is the kidnapper.
Wow. I am so glad that Nancy broadcasted this case. Teeka's mother came to our church about 15 years ago, asking for help and bringing awareness to her missing child. I had previously heard about the bowling alley and Teeka's disappearance but nothing touches you like a mother's plea. I am a mother and grandmother and still cry when I think about what this mother and little Teeka must be going through or the fear the baby must have felt when she was taken from her mother. It's heartbreaking. I pray they will find her to bring peace to this family. 😭😭😭
Life is so heartbreaking . I am so sorry for the mom. I hope she gets closure one day.
I remember working retail about 10 years ago when I had a mother frantically run up to me, saying her son was gone. I immediately called a code Adam which is used for missing Children in stores and such. Luckily the child was found safe, but that few minutes was nauseating. I didn't know this woman or child but I felt as though I had lost my own child. It was so scary. Ever since that moment I am hyper aware of not only my nephew when I'm out, but other children wandering alone, crying, etc. You just never know and as a society we all really need to make that effort for all children. Parents need help and we can be helpful without anyone even knowing. I think it's everyone's responsibility.
Really, leave a two-year old along in a bowling alley with over 300 patrons is neglectful in itself. What in the world!!! Why was not the mother at the video games with her daughter?The baby could not even reach the controls. That mom needs to be charged with neglect. Period.
I don’t feel bad for letting my 2yr old with his back pack “leash”.
I was that 2 year 26 years ago. That leash kept me safe
Honestly if the kid is too unpredictable (like a lot of them are) I would have to vote for the backpack lease. It's just a precaution that can save lives until they understand how deadly kidnapping and being away from daddy and mommy with someone dangerous means
@@briaharris183 I'm sorry but this about predators. I bk pack leash on prevents child from running off not being snatched. These are criminals
@@terezobert2101 It's a preventative safety measure. A predator isn't going to go after a kid attached to their parent. They're going to snatch the kid 6 feet away from a distracted parent.
We call them walking reins in the UK. My daughter would rather walk than sit in her buggy as soon as she could walk steadily about 18 months. It was easier to keep hold of her as well to push her brother in his pram. Both are severely autistic. I had my daughter on them until she was 5 y son was 10. They are 19 and 22 now. I can honestly say they wouldn't be here with us today if I hadn't used them. I am sure James Bulger's mother regrets no using them.
Parents just don't watch their kids closely, it only takes a second for someone to snatch a small child.
Literally seven seconds according to law enforcement
“She’d never go with a stranger, she’d always scream at a stranger.” She clearly did go with someone and she definitely didn’t scream.
Right
He probably knew her and hurt her to keep her quiet/gave her something to keep her content
Right she was only 2 years old didn’t know to to do any of that stuff at all
Exactly... She probably knew this person that "took" her... And also the mother says she's might know who did it but nothing came of that... Makes no sense...
They have ways to conduct with your children.. very friendly..candy/ pets. She was only a baby.. she doesn't know better...I pray they find her safe.. Could have been a woman or several people working together...
I’ve seen videos of older women literally LURING toddlers or attempting to push strollers away while a parent is turned away in a different direction. Either child selling or a woman wanting a child of their own I’d guess. Terrible 😢 awful scenario!
I hope you called attention to it by screaming, yelling, informing the mom and not just commenting under this story.
What really saddens me is that when it comes to children that have been kidnapped and raised by another family for years and years, if found they then have to suffer through finding out the mom or dad or both that loved them really wasn’t their parents and they are actually quite evil. And when being reunited with their biological family there’s never an immediate connection and sometimes the children don’t want anything to do with their biological family. Or they just don’t want to believe that they were kidnapped and will shun their biological family. Essentially they may be better off not ever knowing but of course that’s not fair as their biological family will always suffer, no matter if it’s 5 or 35 or60 years later.
You ain't lying it is a sad messed up situation it's almost like the child blames the bio parents thinking they didn't want them when that wasn't true at all..I can't remember the name of the movie but I watched a movie about that scenario and it was definitely heartbreaking but in the end the daughter ended up giving bio mom a chance and they got close
Exactly! Of the cases I've seen the daughter prefers the non biological mom over the biological mom. They're never happy to be found. Look at that case in South Africa. The kidnapped daughter said, that she was perfectly find where she was and seemed annoyed at her biological parents.
I truly hope she was kidnapped and raised by another family. As awful as that is, it is better than being sexually assaulted and murdered, and buried in a shallow grave somewhere.
Part of it, understandably, the bio family doesn't give the child a chance to adjust feeling offended for the connection the child has with the abductor. I can only imagine and I know they just wanna love them up but they have to also see it from the child's perspective and ease back into their parent/child relationship.
Glad someone said this I’ve saw two stories where it was best that it was never revealed it’s very traumatizing
Never leave your children unattended for no reason at anytime.
As someone who was lured into a strangers home, and molested.. it’s made me extremely cautious with both of my daughters. I won’t even let them out if my sight.
I hope you got justice. I'm so sorry
@@MichelleTurnz never the type I deserved. He went to jail, but bonded out within a week. Basically a slap on the wrist. It’s sad, because after he was released he went on to rape his own granddaughter, he denied it and his daughter believed him over her own baby so he was never in trouble. He eventually died about 3 years ago now.
The day my sweet 8 year old blonde daughter came home with a kitten, as did her 2 little friends; was the day I believe I gave her her only spanking. After all my many talks they actually entered a man's house who offered them free kittens. Thank God he was an honest man and her dad actually let her keep the cat, for over 10 years.
honestly gonna be sad if i have a girl, its a life sentence to be worrying about her constantly
@@marilynwillett804 I understand completely, and would have 100% reacted to same way.
That's why I don't trust people near my babies.
I remember when this happened. I’ll never forget her sweet face. Praying she’s found alive 🙏🏽😇
22 year old case
Love Nancy Grace. She's awesome & really gets the story out. I hope the little girl returns to her Mama but the longer it takes, hearts start sinking. So sad.
Watch your babies 100%, do not look the other way... This breaks my heart
This is why you never leave them alone even one second especially in public 😭🥺 people are sick they will take a baby in a second
Heartbroken I'm sending prayers to the family she's a beautiful little girl
Mom getting triggered cuz no one saw what happened but babygirl u didn't see either cuz u were having a good time just like the others
bria harris : Absolutely, you said it all. They all had a ball and the baby was most certainly not in the center of anyones attention.
You’ve commented so many times. I PROMISE YOU MY FAMILY WERE LOOKING AWAY FOR less than 30 seconds and she was gone. DONT BLAME MY MOTHER FOR SHIT. SHIT HAUNTS HER FOR THE PAST 22 years!! THANK YOU! SHUT TF UP WITH YOUR CONSPIRACY
@@Tameekamarie are u the sister of teeka ( hope spelled right )? If so I am so sorry for what y'all have been having to endure & all the bad comments u have to read sometimes... Well I hope something can still be done in this case and this poor beautiful girl is found alive bc their has been ppl that habe been found many many years later... I wish u & u family all the best & plz tell u mom for me I send her all my love & prayers 💝💝 & u guys be safe & I hope & pray for you & your whole family!!
@Gramisul times were different back then. Every family member took turns watching her. Let’s be real, children wander off all the time. How about you not blame my family and actually blame the sick fuck who preys on children!! You should be able to blink and your child still be where you left them
@@Tameekamarie Don't let it get to you. Its easy for us all to say what if, and its easy to let your guard down in a child friendly environment. I am thinking she should have been watched at all times, yet at the same time, I know it has happened to me with my children at some point. You feel comfortable in your environment, they dissapear out of sight for a moment, you don't panic, you look, its that easy. This was just the wrong place at the wrong time, and a very bad person took her, it takes just seconds, if someone is targeting a place. Not many can say they have not lost sight of their child at some point, so don't feel bad. I am sure she is alive somewhere, and would have been sold to a couple without children.
My daughter is almost 7, and I do not let her out of my sight, ever. At the store, she's in the cart or holding on, never goes to the bathroom alone, and rarely goes to friends houses alone. You never know where creeps are.
My heart breaks for Teekahs mother, and I hope she comes home. It's been what, 23 years now? I hope Teekah is okay.
👏🏽 Keep it that way Ma! People called me “paranoid” and “overprotective,” for years. Idgaf!!! 8/10 times a child is SA’d, it’s someone they know! A “friend” of the family, a friends parent/family member. You never can be too careful when it comes to your children! Thank you for sharing this. In a world where a lot of young Mothers would let Anyone “babysit,” to go out and party, it’s so nice to know that there are plenty of young women like you! God bless you Miss Ivorella, and your beautiful family! Keep up the great work Ma!!
@@nunyabidnazz2311 you literally just made my whole day 🥺 thank you 🥰 but you are correct, it's more common by people they already know and I'll never let anything happen to her.
You're wonderful and sweet. Have a great day 🥰
I believe the white man that molested the little boy at the bowling alley after she went missing is the one who did it. He was caught trying to lure kids more than once and yet the employees never called the police smh! He was even driving the same car the last described driving crazy out of the parking lot that night Teekah went missing.
Omg, I hope the cops investigated that man.
For sure no coincidence
What was his name
Are we all going to ignore the fact her mom changed her story? She said at first she turned to watch her uncle bowl then about 3/4 of the way into the video she says she stepped away to bowl herself. It cant be both?
Hmm missed that
In any case, her mistake is probably from guilt. She's trying to justify her reason for looking away. Every mothers nightmare - I don't think she was involved.
@@Danielle-ph8ls okay fair enough. Yeah i could not even imagine. Not to compare children to animals but i lost a cat once and i was destroyed.
@@Heyymynameisjbells Oh yeah, for sure. Everyone's loss is important and real for them. 💔
I caught that too
this is heartbreaking.. my daughter just turned 23 this July. :( she would have been a year older than her. Im so sorry to the mama and family. And I m truly sorry for whatever this lil angel endured. I hope she is truly at peace .💟🌸🌜
Heart breaking. I pray for justice for Teekah
Bring back Nancy Grace!!!
It’s not hard to believe no one saw anything because you have to watch your own kids,,, people are there to have fun and if you are a stranger, you do not know what you are looking at when you see a grown up pick up a child, etc,,, You don’t think anything of it,,,
Beverly : True enough.
Right
Because someone came out saying they
Seen her with a Male or Female
Carrying her and she was crying they
Just thought she's a Baby who don't want
To leave
@@KikiW89 exactly my daughter always complains or cry’s when we leave somewhere she wants to stay
💯
Never leave your children out of sight.
If she was a Mama's girl, why wasn't she by Mama's side. My daughter was attached to me at that age.
Who takes a 2-year old to a bowling alley? Mom should have either left the child at home with trusted babysitter if she wanted some social time or else she should have stayed home with her and realised that when you have a small child that child is your priority not going out bowling IMO!
@@robyndaniels1381 many ppl do, I come from a family of bowlers. We always took the kids with us.
@@robyndaniels1381 You sound dumb lol a lot of ppl take kids to bowling alleys. Bowling alleys are for kids too hints as to why they have video arcades and bowling for kids inside 😑 she probably didn’t want to leave her child with someone who was not family most of the family was at the alley anyway.
@@robyndaniels1381 girl a bowling alley is not a bar
@@terezobert2101 Maybe not but still no place for a toddler IMO - you need eyes in the back of your head with kids this young - they can easily wander off and get into trouble, get snatched - once your eyes are off the kids and on your own pleasures (eg bowling) all kinds of problems ensue - don't have kids if not prepared to take care of them properly
Where the girl was, how close to the door she was and how far the mom was it's no wonder how they were easy to escape
If that's even true.
@@AllOuttaBubblegum123 mhm, the mom over here holding info this definitely ain't all to her story we all know this
I do believe the mother have tiny holes but she definitely not involved in her daughter disappearance.
SOMEONE HAD TO KNOW THAT THE ALARM TO THE EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR DIDNT WORK
That’s a good point. Do we know the door had an alarm? I may have missed this part of the video. Surely they looked into employees and regulars. But if it had a broken alarm, like you said, had to be someone that knew that. Also, I thought they said they had security cameras but they weren’t working? If that’s the case they had to know that too
I would think someone took her because they wanted a child and I hope not to hurt her
Why are people so evil.
Im sorry but that little girl is not alive
@@noelinerenwick5347 Well, would you know this because YOU killed her? I mean, you must have some inside knowledge if you're so sure. It's possible she is alive - it's happened before. She wouldn't even know, being taken at that age - she'd have no clue. So unless you killed her or found her body and didn't tell anyone I'm not sure how you can be so sure beyond your own illusion of knowledge.
@@owleyes71 exactly for example the Corlina white story(idk if I spelt her name right) but she found her parents years after ALIVE
@@shaniqu3_ this story is a little different cuz you heard Nancy say there was a couple of other incidents with children there. If it was the man with the brown hair, she probably no longer alive.
Indeed. For some reason I hv a strong belief that this child is not dad. And it was either a women or a couple who took her. I just pray they didn't harm her🙏
She is such a beautiful little girl, having a son myself i cant imagine the pain and suffering her mum is going through, i hope that Teekah is still alive and safe and that she finds out who her mum is and try's to look for her.
When was a child/teenager I’ve seen other parents just having their children walking 🚶♀️ behind them and not holding their hands 🙌 smh 🤦♀️ You have to watch your children
I know I have always been annoyed by that.
How can the mom say she knows where she is but will not tell anyone?
She said she did tell LE. She cannot blame someone without evidence on national tv. She will get sued.
Probably snippets from where she thought her daughter was the homeschooled texas girl.
This took place 2 decades ago. Lots and lots of places didn't have cameras at that time. If they did, they used the same tapes looped over and over because it was expensive to keep putting in new cassettes and storing them was also a pain in the rear. I am sure the bowling alley has come along with the digital age by now. Poor mom...I can't imagine her ever finding peace.
But they did. And they weren’t working. There’s a look when that happens- who there knew the camera wasn’t working and might have acted upon that knowledge.
@@heatherg1706 exactly!
On 2 separate occasions I've found unattended kids wondering around Odyssey Fun World, both babies about 2. Unable to give their names or their parent's name. These babies didn't cry and or give any resistance to me. But I made sure they were safe. I immediately found the manager to make an announcement. Glad they came across me and not some sicko!
I just heard that moms boyfriend was there 6 feet away watching Teekah also 🤔🤔🤔
Poor baby someone took her I hope she gets back to her mom
Nancy keeps saying man. There are many women at the bowling alley also
I wonder if he took a lie dectector test? Not that he took her but maybe he saw something and decided to stay quiet. For many reasons but maybe he didn't want to raise another mans baby? IDK?
People have no heart they don't know the damage they have done that baby will never know who her real mom is unless she grows up asking questions or maybe God will give her clues so one day she can find her real mommy
I hope that they find her. It breaks my heart when these things happen.
300 people and no one saw anything including her whole family ?? 🤔 I’m not buying it
Right nobody seen a man or person walk out or run out of there with any child ppl so stupid if u seen something say something the mama just need to say she wasn't watching her an realize the child was gone 20 or 30min or an hour later
The mother left the child to go bowl while the child, who couldn't reach the pedals, was pretending to be playing video game, this is one of many sad cases of child neglect. I hope the baby girl is alive and well taken care of, most probably not.
If there had been even a hint of neglect,believe me, Nancy would have said so. She is never an advocate of a criminal especially when children are involved. The Mom didn't bowl. It was one of her relative's turn and she turned her head to watch him. Then she turned around and child gone. No one except yourself has alleged neglect and if they did they are just adding to the parents' grief. Be careful in the way you describe things
That baby is gone y'all. 22 years. Yeah, she's long gone.😢😢
Right🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Mama speaks in past tense of her child. Not a good sign!
It may just be cuz it's been so long she thinks of Her as no longer being alive.nit sure though Im gonna watch the other interviews where ppl say mom said she thinks she knows who took her which is strange why that was never followed up or looked into
I’m sorry but it’s been 22 years most kidnapped kids are killed in the first 24 hours. We all know that she is died and the mama finally excepted it. At first for years she didn’t not want to accepted it and kept saying she was alive.
I have a two year old ... there’s no way in FUCKING HELL I would let her wonder off in a fuckn bowling alley with 300 strangers roaming around . Wtf 🤬
Right!!!😤
Facts careless
So Very Heartbreaking 💔 As A Mother I can’t Imagine this 😢
Why was a two year old ever out of your sight? That's crazy. Every parent knows not to let your guard down. Ever. Unless you are at home. Even then toddlers get into everything. She should never be out of the sight of an adult or someone old enough to be held responsible. R.i.p. Baby James Bulger.
Any parent can get distracted for seconds, even Nancy said it’s happened to her.
@@RB-sm3eu It had to be longer, from what they explained it looks physically impossible for someone to take her out of the building and out of the parking lot from where she was within seconds. It had to be longer
Nobody can watch a child every second of every day. She was watching her child and only glanced away for 10-15 seconds. Count it out and you will see it only takes a split second to take a child.
@@RB-sm3eu
Try but also because I have a 5 year old
And if we was in line I went to pay for my
Stuff I put her in the cart at that age
Now at 5 I tell her to stand in front of me,Go with her Auntie or stand on the
Cart I'm not blaming the Mother
Because we was on the store by the
Clothes I looked at a outfit and my 5 year
Old daughter was gone I was saying her
Name crying and she popped out of the
Clothes,I was angry at her but I was
Glad nobody took her
She should not have been watching her from a distance !! she should have been with her !! I blame the mom period ! she gave a predator the opportunity by not watching her 2 yr old daughter . I hope that mom had the time of her life , she was having fun instead of taking care of her child and having her 2 yr old close to her like she should have been .
As I started to listen to this I was appalled that this "Mother" didn't keep eyes in a 2yr old????? Omg....poor kid!!
I know its not a good thought, but its more like, for child tracking. They would have been watching her like a hawk then took her. They are professionals. So sad….
There are so many of these men in our midst, more than we realise, who prey on children and wait for a moment to grab a child. A minute is a very long time to not have your eyes on your child.
Witw! Dang Bowling Alley! 3 other incidents??And nothing was done? My goodness. Smh
If I didn't have highly tuned "mommy radar," I would have lost my youngest when he was three. I was paying for his new tennis shoes, but was keeping a close eye as he bounced around the store. As he headed in the direction of the double doored entry to the mall, I was literally bending backwards to watch him as he got closer and closer to the doors, me waiting as the clerk rang up my purchase. As I am staring at my son, a man who was standing by a shoe rack near the entrance, slowly turned and looked at me. Our eyes locked; I believe he was not prepared to see me watching my son so closely. If I had looked away even for a minute, he could have swept my son out the exit and I would not have even known where to look. I ran past the man and grabbed my son, and as I passed the man going back still frozen to his spot, I noticed the rack of shoes he was standing behind were women's high heels. Mothers, WATCH YOUR BABIES!
He was with his wife you idiot.
Gives me the goose bumps to read this. You know when you know.
Nancy you must carry a heavy heart with all of these unsolved child cases, I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Wait, the mom KNOWS, or THINK she knows, who kidnapped her daughter?! Huh?! She has a strange look on her face, almost a smirk, when she said it, too! Hmmm......strange. I wonder if it WAS a family member, after all!
Me too
Yeah, I was thinking...what the hell? Why keep up this charade if you believe you know her took her? It beggars belief!
I noticed that
Just wishful thinking. Because if she knew then why not go get her yourself

When we were little (I’m now 66) we were always kept on reigns when we were toddlers, and the reigns harness was clipped into the metal rings in the pram when we were in the pram. We always used reigns on our children. I honestly don’t understand why parents don’t use them anymore🤷♀ There’s even more weirdos and risks these days. Even the numbers of vehicles on the roads has increased, making it more important to keep youngsters safe at such a young age. There really should be a resurgence in the use of reigns for toddlers
I AGREE!! Who cares what it looks like, at least youbcan take your kid home each night..♡
my baby boy when he was 1 year old (old enough to walk) once wandered out of the house when i was spring cleaning. i didnt think he was strong enough to push open the screen door but he was. i got carried away on a hard task and i had noticed the house was too quiet. every parent knows that "too quiet" in the house is never good. I looked around and panicked because i didn't see him anywhere. come to find out he was outside in the front yard nearing the sidewalk into the street. Ive never almost had a heart attack in my life. the only reason he didn't fully make it was because he had no shoes on and babies don't liek the feeling of grass and gravel on their bare feet. I thank god that my senses and awareness caught him before something bad could have happened. The only reason I am still in this decrepit world is because of my babies. I am not mentally able to handle something happening to them. i will admit it now. God forbid if something happened to one of mine, I'd have to be put on suicide watch
All my prayers going up for the safe and return of this beautiful little child. Pray she is alive and returns to waiting arms of her family.
Teekah’s father was in prison at the time she went missing; he was about halfway through a four-year sentence for theft.
Why did Nancy lie? It’s not a difficult detail to find out.
What else do these TV personalities lie about or are they too lazy to do a little research? Her producers know better.
Well she said he had an air tight alibi out of state lol
A 2 year old child should be supervised very very closely.. not watched at a distance.
Especially the place had a lot of people so you should be even more cautious. This is a natural instinct of protection, some parents/carers are just too slack.
Like seeing small children walking behind their parent / carer. This annoys me massively, how are you supposed to watch a child behind you?
So very careless... then cry when something happens.
And people for the love of god WATCH UR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nancy grace hit it on the nail . Somebody was sitting on the side line watching the family and kid and awaiting for the perfect opportunity to take her
Omgoodness she sooo cute
one thing i never did was leave my child unattended at any time!
only takes seconds for a person to snatch up a child!!!!
I remember when this case first aired on America’s Most Wanted.. so sad. I’m hoping she’s still alive.🙏🏽🥺💔
I was there when it happened, I was 5. I remember when everybody started panicking about a little girl missing. One of my earliest memories. I will always hope they find teekah..
