Mystery messages sent by mom who vanished on trip with ex & toddler revealed by fiancé – who fears ‘something is wrong
A MISSING mom reportedly sent her fiancé a series of messages – days after she vanished with her ex-boyfriend and their daughter on a camping trip.
Corey Alexander, 31, told The Sun that he fears something is wrong after his partner Jill Sidebotham, 28, disappeared without a trace on June 27.
Sidebotham’s family revealed that Nicholas Hansen, 38, had asked Jill, of Maine, and her child Lydia, two, to go on a trip.
Alexander last saw Jill, who he has been engaged with for more than a year, on June 26.
He said: “She was always upfront with me about everything. We never hid anything from each other. She never mentioned anything about the camping trip to me.”
Alexander fears that “something very wrong” has happened as it has been more than two weeks since Jill vanished.

Jill’s mom warned her daughter not to go camping, according to a family Facebook post.
Ron Sidebotham told the Boston Globe: “My wife said she tried to stop her but [Jill] said it would be fine.”
Her phone has been reportedly turned off since June 28 but Alexander claimed that he received messages from her Facebook account the next day.
He said: “I’m not sure if they actually came from her phone or not.”
Alexander doesn’t believe that Hansen sent the messages but fears if he saw them, “they may have set him off”.
Press brake operator Alexander told Jill that he loved her as he replied to a text she had reportedly sent.
Jill responded: “Love you too n have a good day (sic).”
Alexander then replied: “You too baby. Just made my morning all the better hearing from you.”
‘I LOVE YOU’
She later sent a love heart, before saying that she missed him.
Alexander said that he was looking forward to watching Stranger Things and that was the last message he received.
Alexander revealed that he has been in pain since Jill disappeared.
He said: “I’ve never been in so much pain. I’m completely lost without her. It’s just tearing me apart.”
He said his relationship with Jill was “perfect”.
He said: “I know people say that there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship, but we had a really pure, strong foundation.
“It was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s made me the man that I am today.
“Jill and her children are everything to me.”
But, his sister Kris Martin, 44, told the Globe that she’s worried Lydia is alone.
Jill’s son Brayden Sidebotham Farmer, 10, has been left heartbroken by how the events have unfolded.
He told DailyMail.com: “He’s such a good boy, for him to be snapping like he has the past couple of days is out of character for him.”
Hansen, Jill, and Lydia were last seen at a Walmart supermarket in Mexico, Maine on July 2.
Sanford Police Lt. Matthew Gagné said cops are looking for them.
But, he didn’t have any indication that they were in danger.
Gagné said: “They were buying food items, and there did not appear to be anything nefarious or criminal.”
Cops said they’re driving a silver 2005 Volkswagen Jetta ME.
