Baby Bryan Smells

From the get go, the baby abduction in Fort Myers smelled. It just didn't sound right.

A woman kidnapping a baby in the middle of rush hour? A woman claiming to be looking for Pine Manor... But not from here? If your not from Southwest Florida, you're looking for Fort Myers, Cape Coral... Maybe Bonita Springs. Your definitely not looking for Pine Manor, Dunbar, Iona, Etc. Then this kidnapper disappears, never to be seen again, despite the baby's photo plastered everywhere. Come'on someone had to notice a woman who became a mother overnight. Yet no one has come forward.

The smuggling theory Fort Myers Police has brought forward makes sense... But something is still missing. There is something they are not sharing that confirms they are looking for smugglers. Could it be a ransom request? Could it be a lead from someone the parents confided in? Could it be what was said to the mother before the kidnapper drove off with the baby?

Here's another conspricy theory: Fort Myers police post a $21,000 dollar reward Friday. Later that day they receive an anonymous call from smugglers looking to collect the cash. However why would police then hold a press conference Saturday announcing the motive?

If this is indeed a smuggling operation... I believe we will never see Baby Bryan again. The only chance he has is if the smuggler has a heart. And how many smugglers do you think are in this for charity? Bryan's abduction sends a message of fear to those who haven't paid up. Keeping him will instill that fear for generations to come.

If this is something else, such as a mother who wanted a baby... Then the Dos Santos family has hope. Someone will come forward eventually.

Is it possible the baby was part of the payment arrangements and the mother changed her mind after the child was born? Many times when mothers plan to put baby up for adoption they change their minds after birth. The parents have been less than honest with the police with straight answers about what happened in the beginning, and this would be a tough one to admit. It would surely change the public view of the parents.
