Police Searching For Missing Baby After Fugitive Parents Arrested
//More than 200 police officers using dogs, thermal imaging cameras and drones are continuing their search for a missing baby as fears mount the infant might have come to harm.
The parents, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, were arrested in Brighton on Tuesday on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
They had been missing for 53 days.
A search for them began when their car was found on fire near Bolton. Police say Ms Marten had recently given birth.
Police said the baby may have been born in the back of the vehicle, without a midwife or medical attention.
Ms Marten, 35, and Gordon - a convicted rapist and registered sex offender - were held on Monday after a member of the public saw them and called the police.
They were initially held on suspicion of child neglect, but were further arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.//

This is a bizarre case that I've been following for a while - she the product of a very wealthy family, he a convicted criminal. Since the couple appear to have travelled fairly widely around the country and are not willing to reveal the whereabouts of the baby, the police have a mammoth task on their hands. I doubt very much that it will end well.

Yes, this is a bizarre case and so very sad on all counts. What a shame we can’t “torture” the truth out of these people! It must be so frustrating for the interviewing officers and difficult for all those desperately searching for the baby. However as the couple dumped the pushchair some time ago it’s not looking very hopeful.
This is indeed a very odd case. If they had been found and the baby was with them and healthy, would they have been arrested? If so, for what?
A black man and white woman with a baby are pretty conspicuous, so how can they not have been spotted in the nearly 8 weeks up to now? If they were camping for some of the time, where were they eating/getting food from? And what were they doing in the evenings - in January it's dark at 4:30pm.
I hope the Sussex Police are better at looking than the Lancashire Police.

Our local paper has a police officer giving the latest account but nothing seems to have changed.

They dumped the pushchair in East London in early January so I assume the baby hasn't been with them for almost two months.
// they were no longer in possession of the pushchair that they were previously seen with after they dumped it in Flower and Dean Walk, E1, at 11.46pm on January 7.//
