Earlier, the grandmother had reportedly expressed her doubt over her daughter Leilani Simon, who is also the mother of Quinton. She said, “Sometimes she does really great, sometimes she doesn't. I don't know what to think right now. I don't know what to believe, because I don't think anybody ever believes this is going to happen to them. I don't know if I can trust her or I don't,” as she added, “I just know I'm hurting and I want this baby home. He's my baby.”

Besides, on Tuesday, the Chatham County Police Department issued a statement, giving an update on the case. It noted, “We've seized evidence that we believe will help move this case forward & we're now working to analyze the evidence to see where it leads us. We continue to pursue all avenues to bring Quinton home, following all leads and evidence. There will be no further public statements today.”

That's how big the story is! People here even in New York are wanting to volunteer for the search for baby Quinton! I am 9ne of them! We need to search.” Another person said, “Praying🙏 for Quinton Simons, the entire Chatham county PD, Police chef Hadley & the FBI & special agency & agents brought in & the detectives who working tirelessly & the fire department,SPD & the entire neighborhood & entire community, those who knew Quinton Simons & the family.”
