IN a heartbreaking tragedy, little ELAINA STEINFURTH is being called the new Caylee Anthony after she disappeared and her mother ANGELA claimed she’d been abducted.
Police believe the 18-month-old toddler was killed by her mother’s boyfriend Steven King Jr., and Angela covered up the heinous crime, claiming – just like Caylee’s cold-hearted mom Casey – that a stranger had kidnapped her child.
For three months, police, family members and neighbors searched desperately for Elaina. Finally, a rotting body believed to be Elaina’s was found wrapped in a blanket inside a plastic box in the junk-strewn garage of King’s mom in Toledo, Ohio.
Now Angela, 25, and her ex-beau King, 23, are behind bars, charged with obstruction of justice, but cops say they’re also prime suspects in the toddler’s death.
