Maybe She Wanted To Liberate The Baby From A Childhood Of Diapers

Just an odd bit of news from the East Coast that, to my knowledge, Drudge Report didn’t catch:

A Pennsylvanian woman found her six-year-old daughter who had been presumed dead as an infant in a 1997 fire. The house fire was apparently set by a female acquaintance to cover up the kidnapping of the girl. The mother suspected her daughter was still alive when she attended the birthday party of a friend’s child and noticed that one girl had a striking resemblance to herself and her other children. She cut off some of the girl’s hair, telling the child that there was some gum stuck in it. DNA tests conducted on the hair by police confirmed her suspicions. The girl was taken into state custody, and the kidnapper fled before being questioned by police, leaving her own three children behind.

UPDATE: The kidnapper, who plead guilty to an earlier arson charge from 1996, has turned herself in to authorities.
