The mother of missing Tennessee toddlerEvelyn Mae Boswellhas given authorities “inaccurate” information during police questioning, Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy said during a Friday press conference.
According to Cassidy, the mother, Megan “Maggie” Boswell, has been “cooperating” during interviews, “but some of the information she has given us hasn’t really been accurate.”
He adds, “Surveillance camera footage, witness testimony — a lot of her story hasn’t been accurate.”
The 15-month-old girl was last seen sometime in December, according to authorities — but she was officially reported missing only on Tuesday.
“I’m not going to go with what the mother said, because some of the stories are conflicting and inaccurate,” Cassidy said.
Boswell did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
