Mom of 2 Abducted from Front Yard, Wearing only Pajamas

Another young mom has gone missing, this time from Grand Rapids, Michigan. 32-year-old Venus Stewart was abducted from her parents’ home as she walked out in the early morning hours to mail a letter. She was wearing only her pajamas at the time. HLN's Nancy Grace reported earlier tonight that signs of a struggle were visible at the scene, including heel marks in the yard along with gravel scattered across the sidewalk.

Now we are learning that the young mother of 2 may have just recently escaped a violent relationship. Crime Reporter Michelle Sigona revealed on her website that court records show Venus Stewart feared her husband so much that she filed three orders of protection against him over the course of their marriage. In court documents Venus writes, “I am scared to death and every day I live in constant fear and I am constantly looking over my shoulder wondering when he will appear again.” According to Michelle Sigona's report, in February 2010, Stewart packed up her kids and moved with her family to Michigan. Tonight's HLN's news broadcast also mentioned that the mother had just been granted temporary custody of her 2 daughters a week before she went missing.

Venus’ estranged husband was located overnight in Newport Beach, Virginia. Lt. Ricko of the Michigan State Police told Michelle Sigona that Douglas Stewart had not been arrested, but they are conducting an investigation.

Police ask that anyone who may have seen Venus Stewart or the vehicles to call the State Police post in White Pigeon at 269-483-7611.
