DETROIT, Mich. -- Family members said a pregnant mother from Detroit and her two small children ages 4 and 2 have not been seen in nearly two weeks.
They were supposed to board a Greyhound bus in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. headed to Downtown Detroit, but no one has seen them since they were spotted at the bus station.
Latisha Rutledge, 22, is eight and a half months pregnant, and her baby is due any day.
Family members said she may have already given birth.
Rutledge had been living with her uncle in Florida for the last couple months trying to start over, but things didn't work out.
Her uncle dropped Rutledge and her children off at the bus station Jan. 11, and they were supposed to arrive in Detroit Jan. 13.
Rutledge's mother is frightened and frustrated, and said her daughter has no money.
Greyhound does not require photo identification at all its terminals so there is no way to know if Rutledge even boarded the bus.
Greyhound said it can not release passenger information unless law enforcement request it.
Rutledge's mother Marsella Satchel said she has not been able to file a missing persons police report yet, because police told her she must contact every hospital in Fort Lauderdale and Detroit before it can be filed.
