The baby
Sincerely speaking, I pray they lock up this woman and throw away the key...this is pure wickedness...I mean..to your own sister?...no no no..unacceptable!
An aunt of a baby who was recently abducted and later rescued has been identified as the kidnapper.
An hour after a woman reported her newborn son missing from a Wisconsin home, police were questioning her step-sister who was found with a prosthetic pregnancy belly, baby clothes and a stroller, but no baby, according to court documents.It was more than 24 hours after Kayden Powell went missing before authorities discovered the infant, less than a week old, in a plastic storage crate outside an Iowa gas station, miraculously alive and well despite frigid temperatures.
Kristen Smith of Denver had pretended to be pregnant, went to Wisconsin and stole her step-sister’s baby from his bassinet as his parents slept, court documents say. Then, as police closed in on her, she allegedly abandoned the infant, who was swaddled in blankets.
Federal prosecutors in Madison charged Smith with kidnapping Friday afternoon, hours after an Iowa police chief found Kayden.
The discovery of the infant shortly after 10 a.m. Friday capped a frantic search that involved police officers iWisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.
“I had tears in my eyes,” BP station manager Jay Patel said, recalling his reaction to the police chief telling him that the infant had been found. “It’s good news, but it’s sad, too.”
The baby was taken to an Iowa City hospital, where he was reunited with his parents and released Friday evening.
