Memphis police put the search for a 7-week-old child on hold over the weekend, after the newborn went missing last Thursday, according to CBS's local station WREG.
The MPD reported on Saturday at about 6 p.m. their decision to suspend the search for Aniston Walker, CBS reported. For almost three days, law enforcement officials combed through the immediate area of Aniston's home in Memphis, where she lived with her 33-year-old mother Andrea and two other siblings. With the aid of search-and-rescue dogs, officers looked for any clue indicating the child's whereabouts, but came up with nothing by Saturday evening.
Authorities stated they'd exhausted all feasible options, having searched through the most relevant places where the child might be.
Walker told police on Thursday that she left her child at home under the care of her 3-year-old son while she escorted her other son, 5, to school. But when she came back home, 7-week-old Aniston was gone. The 3-year-old boy was still at home, CBS reported.
Walker is considered a suspect in the case, and was scheduled to make a court appearance on Monday morning on charges of aggravated abuse and neglect.
Neighbor Debra Finley told CBS Memphis that she, too, started looking for the baby.
"I looked in my garbage can and I looked to my barbecue grill and there was nothing," she stated, adding that she hadn't heard that Andrea gave birth to another child.
"I knew she had those boys, but not the baby. Sure didn't," Finley told CBS. "I'm just [as] surprised as everybody else."
