I saw the clip on line and WNWO has the story you can read over it,
Steven King Jr has his female cousin now coming out to explain things on his behalf, what a muddle it is turning out to be! The pair of them Angela and Steven go on shopping trips and the child was allegedly left in the care of a friend of King's brother. Who is this friend? male or female?

The ex-boyfriend's story revealed: What he says happened to Baby Elaina

on the HLN network, Steven King's cousin gave his account of the day 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth last was seen, June 2nd.
King, the ex-boyfriend of Elaina's mother, Angela Steinfurth, has remained out of the public eye for nearly a week after receiving death threats.
While King has remained in constant contact with authorities, who insist he is not a suspect, there are still people who believe he had some involvement in the child's disappearance.
His cousin, Christie Edmonds, spoke on his behalf on Thursday night and told Nancy Grace that June 2nd started like any other.
"[Elaina] was playing with her toys and things. She got tired and [Angela and Steven] laid her down for a nap. Steven placed [Elaina] on the bed. Angela changed her diaper and gave her a cup. They left the house and went to a store," Edmonds said.
King's cousin says they went to an East Toledo convenience store, called Universal, to get cigarettes and then returned to the Federal Street home where they were staying.
Edmonds says that pair left again, at some point, to shop at a Dollar General store but returned a short time later.
Both times the couple left, the child was allegedly in the care of a friend to King's brother.
After the couple returned for a second time, King told Edmonds that Angela went in to check on the baby several times.
While not inside the home, Angela was allegedly watching some older children in the yard and smoking cigarettes.
In the early afternoon, King told Edmonds that Angela's estranged husband arrived to pick up the couple's two children, including Elaina.
Several witnesses say that's when Angela initially refused to hand the toddler over.
King says it wasn't until Elaina's father, Terry "TJ" Steinfurth Junior, came back for Elaina a second time that he learned the child was missing.
Edmonds also said that her cousin, Steven King, did not see the toddler with a black eye or bloody nose.
Numerous sources have come forward, in the last week, to say Angela told them Elaina had a black eye, bump on the head and bloody nostril the morning she disappeared.
It was Angela's alleged corroboration of that story that lead Toledo Police to arrest her for child endangerment.
Authorities say that Angela knew about the Elaina injuries and neglected to get her medical treatment.
Edmonds went on to tell Nancy Grace that she was deeply disturbed by a comment Angela made to her before being taken into custody.
"[Angela] said 'I just didn’t have enough time with Elaina. I just didn’t have enough time with her'... As soon as she said it my stomach went in my throat because I didn’t think it was a comment you would make if you thought your baby was coming home," Edmonds said.
