Newborn baby found five days after heavily pregnant went missing

A newborn baby has been found alive in the same apartment building where a heavily pregnant 22-year-old went missing five days earlier.
While they are waiting on DNA results to 100 per cent confirm the baby belongs to Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, North Dakota police and her Fargo family believe "it is very likely".
The newborn was found with two people who reside in Savanna's apartment complex, and both William Henry Hoehn, 32, and Brooke Lynn Crews, 38, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

They also indicated the baby was the missing woman's, although they have not revealed what happened to her.
The Fargo Police Department held a press conference announcing the arrest and the details uncovered in the investigation so far.
Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind was seven months pregnant when she disappeared.
The nightmare started on August 19th when a woman who lived in the third-floor apartment above Savanna knocked on her door.
She said she was sewing a dress and offered the soon-to-be-mother $20 if she could help her by trying it on so she could pin it and alter it for final touches.

Savanna agreed to help the woman, who she did not know well, and went upstairs — but she never returned home.
When Norberta LaFontaine-Greywind went upstairs to check on her daughter, after knocking on the door to the apartment, she was told Savanna had already left.

“I immediately knew something was wrong because [my daughter’s] car is here,” Norberta told the Forum News Service.
“She’s eight months pregnant. Her feet were swollen, so she wouldn’t have taken up walking like that.
"There was pizza here that she hadn’t eaten. She would not just leave that lady’s apartment and go somewhere.”
The last time Norberta had heard from her daughter was she texted her to tell her she was going upstairs.

Savanna also texted her boyfriend father of her child, Ashton Matheny, but he now has not idea what happened to his girlfriend of six years.
"All I'm thinking about is where she's at," Matheny told local media about the woman he was set to move in with.
"She's at priority number one. She's always been number one."

A second-floor neighbour in the same apartment building told police they heard a sustained noise upstairs that afternoon, but police searched the apartment three times and no arrests have been made.
"We were getting ready to leave [and] we heard a banging in the bathtub for about 15 or 20 minutes, about 1:30 or 2 p.m.," the neighbour said.
After, they heard the shower turn on, which they thought was "kind of odd".
The mother-to-be hasn't been heard or seen since that Saturday night.
The baby girl, who the family has named Hazley Joe, is with Savanna's family now.
