Gary police told NBC Chicago they received a missing persons report on Oct. 28, well over two weeks after Baum was last seen.

Police have searched three areas and conducted several interviews, though no arrests have been made.

"One individual was picked up on a warrant," Gary Police commander Jack Hamady said. The individual, Baum's boyfriend, is currently in custody on a separate matter and has not been charged in connection to Baum's disappearance.

Baum's family suspects he may know something regarding her whereabouts.

"We have put our own lives at risk. We have ran into abandoned houses, we have dug in dirt piles," Smith said.

Baum's family is pushing for more resources to be deployed in the search effort.

According to Hamady, there are license plate reading cameras and gunshot detection technology, but no police observation device cameras, or POD cameras, in the area Baum was last seen in.

Family pleads for help finding pregnant Indiana woman who vanished in October​

“We are looking for my sister. She was one centimeter dilated on October 4. She has been missing since October 10,” Baum’s sister, Abigale Smith, said Friday. “At this point we have done everything we can, and now we ask the public to please help us.”

Relatives said Baum lived in Portage, Ind., but was visiting her boyfriend in Gary on the 2500 block of Connecticut Street when she was last seen. Her mother said she believes the boyfriend had something to do with the disappearance.

“I would like my daughter home. We miss her. Her babies need her. Her family needs her,” the mother, Jamie Baum, said.


Gary police Commander Jack Hamady said the boyfriend is in custody but is being held in connection with an unrelated case.

“One individual was picked up on a warrant,” Hamady said. “I know that’s the question out there: was he charged? He has not been charged. No one in this case has been charged, and that individual was just on a separate [Fail to Appear] warrant.”

Gary investigators said they received a missing persons report for Baum on October 28. Since then, they say officers and K9s have helped in the search.

“There are three locations that have come up in the investigation, so we’ve exhausted those means and looked into video that was possibly in those areas that she was last seen as well,” Hamady said.
