The family has to consider the possibility, Porter said, that Davis was abducted by someone who wanted her unborn baby. “I don’t know and because we don’t know we can’t rule that out,” she said. She asked that people be looking for a newborn girl, as well as her daughter.

CBS reports: Davis, who has a 2-year-old son named Blake, vanished sometime after Wednesday. When Porter didn't hear from her daughter Thursday, she decided to go to Davis' house in North Canton, Ohio.

"First thing I saw was her purse was all over the floor and then I hollered for Blakey," she said. "I said, 'Blakey, where's mommy?' He came running downstairs and you could smell him as he came through because he soiled his diaper. And that just, just seemed really out of character, since the smell in the house was overwhelming. And I ran upstairs. He said, 'Mommy's crying and mommy broke the table.' I thought maybe my daughter had got sick and passed out upstairs."

Porter told reporters that when she went upstairs, everything in the bathroom was intact, but the bedroom was in disarray. The lamp and the nightstand were knocked over and the mattress was pulled partially off the bed. She said bleach had been poured all over the floor.

Sheriff's deputies held a press conference for Monday afternoon, but little was revealed. As of now there are no new developments. Over the weekend, detectives said they will begin the process today of obtaining Davis' cell phone records to establish a timeline around her disappearance. They also declined to discuss the test results of crime-scene evidence, specifically bedroom carpeting taken from inside Davis' home.

Detectives have said their confidence of Davis' survival wanes with each passing day. Since the case broke over the weekend, national media, including CNN and FOX, has moved into the area. Porter said she doesn’t mind the glut of attention because that means people are taking an interest in finding her missing daughter.

But the attention to Davis’ personal life has been intrusive. “This isn’t about every issue in her life,” Porter said. “This is about bringing her home.”
