Circumstance: Gabriel was abducted by his mother, Elizabeth Joanne Johnson, from Tempe, Arizona on December 18, 2009. She took him to San Antonio, Texas, driving her grandfather’s white 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88. They arrived on December 22 and stayed in two motels in the area. Gabriel was last seen with his mother on December 27. She left San Antonio by Greyhound bus that same day, without the baby, leaving her grandfather’s car behind in San Antonio. She was supposed to appear for a custody hearing in family court in Arizona on December 28, but she never showed up and a warrant for custodial interference was issued. Elizabeth was arrested at youth hostel in Miami Beach, Florida on December 30. Gabriel wasn’t with her at the time; he has never been heard from again. Elizabeth was later indicted for custodial interference, kidnapping and child abuse. On December 27, Gabriel’s father, Logan Scott McQueary, got a series of disturbing text messages from Elizabeth. She stated he would never see Gabriel again and that she had killed him and thrown him in a trash bin. She also called him and repeated that she had killed the baby. She later said those claims were false and she only made them up to upset McQueary. Elizabeth stated she had given Gabriel to a man and a childless woman whom she met in a San Antonio park. She considered it to be a closed adoption. She said she spent three days with the couple, but she deliberately tried not to remember their last names or what their car looked like so she would not be able to take Gabriel back if she changed her mind. Elizabeth stated the woman’s first name was Cheryl, but she didn’t remember the man’s name.
At court appearances, when she was asked about Gabriel, she repeatedly pleaded her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. In June 2010, she was ruled incompetent to stand trial. She spent three months in court-ordered treatment and was found competent in September. Authorities are investigating Gabriel’s disappearance as a kidnapping/homicide. Gabriel remains missing and his case is unsolved.
