Missing mum Savannah Spurlock's children don't know she's gone
Richmond Police Department
Savannah Spurlock has been missing for over a month, but her family are keeping the news from her 4-year-old son.
The 22-year-old Kentucky woman was last seen leaving a bar on January 4, and her father, Cecil Spurlock, has admitted her children don't know about the investigation.
"I’ve got to maintain because I’ve got a little boy that doesn’t know about his mum yet," Cecil told Fox News.
"Noah goes to counselling on Thursday to tell him about his mum. He’s a super happy boy. I’ve got to maintain around him. I can’t lose it. He actually helps me."
He explained the mum-of-four had been going through a hard phase and "making horrible decisions" around the time she went missing.
Spurlock’s children, aged 4, 2, and 2 months, are currently in her parents’ care.

CCTV footage released earlier this month gave a slight breakthrough to the case and revealed the bar wasn't the last place she was seen.
The footage showed Spurlock with two men travelling in a car towards the rural property, while a third man not seen in the video followed in a separate car.

Both cars have been subjected to forensic testing but police are yet to release any findings.
The men have told police they met Spurlock that night and had no prior connections to the young mum, who gave birth to twins last December.
However, police have been unable to confirm whether or not Spurlock left the residence despite one of the men claiming that she did, though he couldn’t give specific details of her exit.

She was also with a woman during the night she went missing, but her father said he does not know who she is.
Family and friends have told Fox News Spurlock and her friend had a disagreement that caused them to part ways.
He believes that the three men last seen with his daughter know what happened.
"Them boys know something," he said. "Someone knows something out there."
Police have identified and questioned the three men, who have reportedly cooperated and have not been named or publicly listed as suspects.
Authorities are not asking the public to be on the lookout for any other suspects but they are asking the public to keep their eyes open for Spurlock’s tan Michael Kors purse and rose gold iPhone that she had on her.
Spurlock’s phone was turned off at 8:30 the morning she went missing.
