Chilling update in mystery of mom who vanished with toddler and ex after Walmart trip as 'domestic violence' revealed | The Sun
AN EX-LOVER – who went missing with a mom and their toddler – allegedly attacked the mom's current fiancé in 2021, according to interviews and police documents obtained by The Sun.
Nicholas Hansen, 38, Jill Sidebotham, 28, and their two-year-old daughter Lydia seemingly vanished after they supposedly left for a camping trip on June 27.
The trio was last seen at a Walmart in Mexico, Maine on July 2.
Sandford Police Lt. Matthew Gagne told The Sun last week, "Nothing points to them being in danger."
But a previous violent altercation between Hansen and Ms Sidebotham's fiancé of nearly two years Corey Alexander has family members concerned.
On April 12, 2021, multiple officers and at least one ambulance responded to a call to "assist citizen" at their home, according to the police call log obtained by The Sun in a public information request.

Details of the incident weren't released because the case hasn't been heard in court, which is backlogged because of the pandemic, Gagne said.
Alexander, 31, claimed in an interview last week that he was attacked by Hansen and weapons were involved.
Hansen's friend gave a similar description of the incident in a separate interview with The Sun.
'WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE'
The search for Ms Sidebotham, Lydia and Hansen continues, but geographical challenges have stymied efforts so far, Gagne said.

Most of Maine is remote with small populations and poor cell service, the Sanford PD lieutenant said.
They've fielded over 40 tips since news broke of their disappearance that have involved several areas of Maine and out of the state.
"We're working with other jurisidictions as we chase down any leads," Gagne said. "We're hoping they're still in the area, but we just don't know where they are right now."
At this point, police don't believe they're in danger, but Gagne said there's still concern that Ms Sidebotham hasn't checked in with her fiance or family, which isn't normal for her.
"The family knows them the best, and we’re using that concern and following up on every lead that comes in," he said.
"But because it’s not criminal matter, we are limited in some things."
FIANCE AND MOM'S LAST MESSAGES
The day before they left – June 26 – Sidebothom and her Alexander were talking about moving into their new apartment and there seemed to be excitement.
“I had moved my stuff out of storage. We were about to start moving her clothes," he said.
Ms Sidebothoma'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.
