Authorities in North Carolina say they have arrested a suspect in connection with the disappearance of 3-year-old Mariah Woods, a girl whom they believe is probably dead. Earl Kimrey, 32, believed to be the boyfriend of the child's mother, was apprehended Friday, the Onslow County Sheriff’s Department and FBI announced early Saturday. The Jacksonville, N.C., girl went missing late Saturday, prompting her father, Alex Woods, to question his ex-wife’s statement about the girl's whereabouts.

"Alex Woods, the father of Mariah Woods, told WCTI-TV Tuesday the explanation by his ex-wife, Kristy Woods, of how the child vanished from her home Sunday night near Jacksonville, N.C., was unbelievable. "Someone just walked right up in there, grabbed the 3-year-old out of the bed and she didn't cry, she didn't scream?" Woods told WCTI-TV. "Nobody heard anything? Four people in the house, two adults and two kids. Someone just comes up and snatches the baby and walks out?"

Another sicko boyfriend of mom's. Doubt anyone believed mom's story.

I lecture these people all the time, your new boyfriend does NOT take precedence over your kids. You new boyfriend/girlfriend does NOT form a new family despite what your therapist says, that child was there first and comes first. Your new boyfriend/girlfriend does NOT get to discipline your child. Tell them to keep their mitts off or you will walk.

Poor defenseless baby.

I have read so many stories similar to this and I can’t help thinking of how crazy this is. There are so many single mothers with vulnerable children who just can’t exist without a man, any man, in her bed every night. Often she is the bread winner and the guy keeps the children which in itself tells you a lot about him.

The bio dad said he had talked to authorities past year trying to tell them it was an unfit home. As usual, Children’s Services let the child down. The worthless bleeding heart MSW/social workers rarely do their jobs and children die.

biodad should have filed for a modification immediately

We used to get Dr. Laura on the radio in my area, but not any more (too bad). I was really struck by her attitude on divorced people dating who had minor kids. She says raising kids is the #1 priority and your love life needs to take a back seat until the kids are 18. There's a lot of wisdom in that, especially when you see kids being molested/abused/ killed by boyfriends, etc. Unfortunately, having/keeping a boyfriend is often the priority rather than being a other to the kids and shacking up has become socially acceptable. If you do meet someone, her advice was not to introduce them to the kids until you reached a very serious stage (such as becoming engaged) rather than hopping on the roller coaster of dragging every boyfriend/girlfriend through the door to meet the kids. Many find Dr. Laura's approach draconian, but as an example of how it can work, here's a letter from one mom who is doing it the Dr. Laura way:

Here is the best advice I ever received when divorcing 12 years ago, when my two boys were 1 and 3 years old: Don't date, they are already down one parent. The revolving door of significant others just exacerbates their sense of loss in relationships, which will affect how they choose their potential mates in the future. Then I looked at my soon to be ex-stepdaughter, age 10, and realized that she had had 6+ adults in her life between her parents' love lives. I don't date. My boys' are not at risk for abuse of any kind and they have no drama. My boys are now 13 and 16 and have a solid home life. They have male mentors through the Partners Program. They may not know a typical family unit with two parents, but they know stability and consistency. My love life will begin in 5 years when my youngest goes to college! Until then, I go out with my friends every now and then and bother my teenagers knowing where they are and who they are hanging with. Life is good. May they choose better than I did, as they see the repercussions of not choosing wisely.

On the savannah, the new head of the pride kills off the cubs sired by the previous dominant lion. Some people aren’t much different. Probably the little one took up too much of Mom’s attention and affection.

rather than being a other to the kids

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

‘other’ should be “mother”.

Unfortunately, their heart doesn’t seem to bleed for the child. They always coddle the dysfunctional adults - and when the child ends up dead, it’s just an “oops” moment. And the judges who award custody are guilty too.

I have family in LE and I have heard these stories all too often.

Right, I was divorced against my wishes, and did not date until my youngest went to college.

I couldn’t agree more!

Onslow County Sheriff’s Office deputies said they arrested
Earl Kimrey, 32, and charged him with concealing a death,
obstruction of justice, second-degree burglary, felony
larceny, and possession of stolen property.

Due to evidence gathered during the investigation, it is
believed that Mariah is deceased.

I so so hoped this wouldn’t be the case. The father was so torn up & now that I find out that he talked to DHS......I feel so much sadness & anger.

RIP little one....

I discovered Dr. Laura when I was a young wife and stay at home mom. Listening to her helped me to grow up and become far less selfish. We just celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary and her advice has made those years much happier.

She was spot on regarding not dating until your kids were out of the house.

I miss listening to her program.
