Mother of three Emma Baum, 25, went missing Oct. 10 in Gary, Indiana, and she was about to give birth to her fourth child.Â
Baum was last seen being dropped off at her boyfriend's house, her sister Hailey Baum-Waddell told Fox News Digital.Â
"Looking for Emma has been a very struggling thing for everybody, mentally and physically and emotionally ⊠but we're not going to stop looking for her," Baum-Waddell said. "I think if people keep going on and chanting that something needs to be done and chanting her name ⊠just get the word out because a lot of people know, but not everybody knows."

Authorities received a missing persons report for Baum from her family Oct. 28, Gary Police Cmdr. Jack Hamady told Fox News Digital.Â
"A couple of days went by. ⊠We all started, like, messaging each other, âHey, have you heard from Emma? Anybody seen her? Can you message one of her friends to get a hold of her boyfriend?â And it was kind of just a ring around with everybody and everyone's just trying to figure it out," Baum-Waddell said.
"Then we're like, âOK, well, this is not normal.â ⊠That's when my mom really started to panic," she added. "Then my mom ended up going to the police station."

In addition to the police investigation, Baum-Waddell said she and other relatives of Baum have been organizing a widespread search after a social media post of hers drew hundreds of willing participants.Â
"There's been a lot of people who have offered to come out and look for her," she said. "We've talked it over with other search groups. I made a post online just saying, you know, âHands of how many people would be willing to come out,â and I posted it in multiple groups."
Baum lived in Portage, Indiana, but was visiting her boyfriend in Gary when she was last seen.

Baum-Waddell said her sister didn't have a working phone when she disappeared and that although her sister may have "gone off and done her own thing" for several days at a time, she would never disappear for such a long period of time. Â
"That day, she was supposed to go with her boyfriend ⊠to the phone store and get it activated, and she never got the phone activated," she said. "She's been completely silent on everything, and now that's not like her."

Baum-Waddell also mentioned her sister's devotion as a mother and the close relationship she has with her oldest son.
"They have a freaking crazy, unbreakable bond," she shared. "For her not to be here to see him on Christmas or Thanksgiving or ⊠ New Year's. It's unreal. There's no way she would do that to him."
Baum-Waddell believes her sister's boyfriend is "hiding something," she told Fox News Digital, and Baum's mother believes the boyfriend had something to do with her disappearance, WGN9 reported.
