Baby Grace: Grandmother Believes Riley Sawyers is Baby Grace

Baby Grace UPDATE:

Is the identity of Baby Grace about to be determined?

Maybe the authorities are about to get a break in the Baby Grace case.

The grandmother of a little girl taken by her mother to Texas, after the mother met a man on the Internet thinks her granddaughter may be Baby Grace. This from Fox News Cleveland "Family Thinks They Know the Identity of Baby Grace"

An Ohio grandmother believes the toddler dubbed "Baby Grace" found in a blue plastic storage container on the Gulf Coast in late October could be her granddaughter because of a striking resemblance, MyFoxCleveland reports.

Sheryl Sawyers told the station 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers moved to Texas with her mother, Kim Sawyers, last summer, after meeting a man on the Internet.

Since Riley was born, she and her mother were living with Sheryl Sawyers, Riley's paternal grandmother; however, Sheryl Sawyers said neither she nor her son, Robert, have heard from Kim since she moved Texas.

The samples of DNA should determine whether Riley Sawyers ended up in a blue cooler, wrapped in plastic and washed up on a sandbar. Or whether she disappeared when her mother handed her over to "somebody from Ohio with papers".

The mother says she doesn't know who that person was.

DBKP reported last night that DNA samples from the father were taken and were on their way to authorities in Galveston, TX.

The identity of Baby Grace is still a mystery.

But maybe not for very much longer.

Baby Grace, Riley Sawyers: Ohio Girl Possible Match

Could this be Baby Grace?

Authorities are looking into the possible connection between the Baby Grace case and two-year-old Riley Sawyers of Mentor, Ohio.

Riley Ann Sawyers and her mother, Kim, moved from Mentor, Ohio to Katy, Texas last summer. Galveston Bay, where the body of Baby Grace was discovered by a fisherman on October 29, is approximately 77 miles east of Katy.Riley's grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, says Kim moved to Texas after she met a man on the internet.

Kim and Riley had been living with Sawyers, who is the mother of Riley's father Robert, for the past two-years.

Sherly and Robert have had no contact from Kim since she moved to Texas and they have been going through the legal process in both Texas and Ohio to try and get visitation rights to see Riley.

Riley is no longer with her mother who claims "someone from Ohio, with papers demanding custody" took Riley. Ohio officials refute this claim.

Police ruled out a tip leading to Spring, Tx today.

Was the Spring girl, Riley Sawyers? We don't know. Katy is 48 miles south of Spring, Tx.

Police released no information on why the tip was ruled a dead end.

The story of Riley's mother seems, at first glance, to have several questions attached to it.

Another question is what mother gives her daughter to "someone from Ohio" without knowing the whos, whats and whys of the person taking her offspring?

In coordination with the Mentor police and the FBI, Riley's father, Robert has submitted a DNA sample.

No word yet on how long the DNA testing will take or if the FBI will disclose the results.

Our hearts go out to Riley, her father Robert, and her grandmother, Sherly.

Waiting for the "Racist" Shoe to Drop: Tancredo Introduces Immigrant DNA Bill

by Mondoreb & Little Baby Ginn

Tom Tancredo introduced a bill into the House of Representatives this week that requires immigrants to submit DNA samples if they are seeking to join relatives in the U.S. This measure, already in force in France, is a sure way to verify what is being claimed by the potential immigrants: that they are related to persons already living in America.

The clock is ticking on the first branding of Tancredo as a "racist" for seeking the measure. From Politics West:

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo wants foreigners seeking visas to join relatives in the U.S. to provide DNA samples to prove their family ties.

The Colorado congressman introduced a bill Tuesday in the House to require the tests, saying documents provided by immigrants to show they are related to U.S. citizens or permanent residents are sometimes sketchy and unreliable.

"This will help protect the integrity of our immigration system," said Tancredo, who has based his presidential campaign on curbing immigration. "It will give us one more tool to make sure that the beneficiaries of these visas are who they say they are."

Immigrants would pay for the DNA costs through visa application fees under the proposal.

Earlier this month, France's Senate passed an immigration bill that would allow consular officers to request DNA samples from immigrants wanting to join families there.

This may introduce some inconvenience into the system for the would-be immigrant. However, as anyone who was born in this country and has lost their driver's license can attest, that hoop-jumping is already in the system for the native born.

The "racist" countdown clock begins.
