St Louis Adult Entertainment: APNewsBreak: SC lawyer: Missing boy’s mom pregnant
Jennings, 22, has been in jail since late December, when Columbia police say they arrested her for lying about the whereabouts of her son. Her mother had reported Jennings missing several weeks earlier, telling police she thought her daughter and grandson were in Atlanta but that she was receiving evasive answers when she asked about Amir.
Speaking to police after a Christmas Eve car wreck, Jennings first said she didn’t have children and then said her son was with relatives and friends in cities from Atlanta to Charlotte, N.C.
Investigators say they chased down Jennings’ stories but met with several dead ends before arresting her. Authorities said they hope a tip line and $10,000 reward will yield information, and state police are analyzing stains on blankets and clothes removed from Jennings’ car to see if they are blood.
Jennings was arrested on prostitution and drug charges in Georgia shortly before her son disappeared, accused of offering sex to an undercover officer. Jennings had been staying with a half-sister in the Atlanta area for three weeks before her Nov. 9 arrest.
