MARIANA GOMEZ (and her stepsister) - 1 yo/ Suspect: Mother-Maria Miranda - Chicago IL

A Chicago woman is missing along with her 1-year-old daughter and
mentally handicapped teen, and has threatened to kill them both.
Relatives say 41-year-old Maria Miranda is bipolar, schizophrenic and clinically depressed.

The last known contact anyone
had with Miranda was on May 1st. It was with her boyfriend, the father
of one year old Mariana Gomez. Relatives say Miranda left with the baby,
her 19-year-old daughter Victoria Ortega, and no belongings. They say
she has no money and nothing to feed her children.

The Brighton Park resident, relatives say, has disappeared before. When her daughter
was a newborn, relatives say Miranda vanished and called a day later from Albuquerque.
