According to her friends, teen mom Megan “Maggie” Boswell loved spending time with her young daughter, Evelyn Mae Boswell.

“Maggie is a doting mom,” her friend, Anne Freeman, tells PEOPLE recently. “Evelyn adores her.”

But in a shocking turn of events, the 18-year-old mom from Blountville, Tennessee, is behind bars in Sullivan County, where she faces charges in connection with the disappearance of her happy-go-lucky 15-month-old.
