The missing mom of church shooter Robin Westman made a panicked dash from her Florida apartment back to Minneapolis hours before it was raided by the FBI, Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
Mary Grace Westman, 67, left the Naples condo on Wednesday as she hurried to fly back to Minnesota on the same day FBI agents were filmed arriving there hoping to speak with her.
She was so panicked she phoned a neighbor believing she had left the place unsecured, according to a police report obtained by Daily Mail.
That neighbor called Collier County Sheriff’s Office to ask them to check if everything was OK at the three-bedroom condo on the first floor of a small block, the report states.
The mom also left her blue-gray Mini Cooper S parked under an awning, as revealed in Daily Mail photos.
Mary Grace, who retired in 2021 from working at Minneapolis’s Annunciation Catholic Church where her transgender child killed two young children and injured 17 others, has now lawyered up.
She has retained criminal defense attorney Ryan Garry, known for his work with NFL star Colin Kaepernick in cases related to protests at the death of George Floyd in 2020.

Mary worked at the school where her transgender child Robin shot two children dead and injured 18 others on Wednesday
Robin Westman was identified as the deranged killer who opened fire on Wednesday
It comes as school employees at Annunciation Catholic School, where Mary was a former staffer and Robin opened fire on Wednesday, offered details into the would-be killer’s childhood.
Teachers said that Mary struggled to accept Robin’s decision to come out as transgender around five years ago, and confided in school officials that she didn’t know how to handle it.
‘She said, “I don’t know how I feel about this.” I think she was struggling with her Catholic faith,’ a former school employee told NBC News.
They said that Westman was a lonely child at school who did not seem to have any friends when she taught the killer, who was then known as Robert, in the eighth grade.
The teacher added that Westman was often disruptive in her classroom at Annunciation Catholic School, the same school where the killer opened fire on Wednesday morning.
They described the student’s behavior as escalating to the point where Mary would be called in to speak with the principal, and she ‘appeared nervous’ in some meetings.
