'Baby Gabriel' father testifies - UPI.com 25 (UPI) -- The father of "Baby Gabriel" testified in a Phoenix court that the missing 8-month-old's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, told him she had suffocated the child. Johnson, 26, of Tempe, Ariz., is on trial in Maricopa County, Ariz., Superior Court, charged with kidnapping, custodial interference and conspiracy to commit custodial interference, charges stemming from the disappearance of her son, last seen with Johnson in December 2009 in San Antonio. The father, Logan McQueary, said in court Monday Johnson told him in telephone calls and text messages she had suffocated the boy, put his body in a diaper bag and tossed it into a dumpster, the (Phoenix) Arizona Republic reported Tuesday. The boy's body has never been found. McQueary filed papers for the child's custody in 2009 but learned Johnson had given the boy up for adoption to Tammi Smith, who was later convicted of forgery and conspiracy to commit custodial interference for attempting to adopt the baby against McQueary's wishes, the Republic reported.
