Monday, June 05, 2006
LUBBOCK, Texas — Police on Monday were searching for a woman who allegedly posed as a nurse to kidnap a newborn baby while the infant's mother was tending to one of her other children in her Texas home.
Police were searching for Priscilla Nicole Maldonado, who is younger than one week, has jaundice and is in need of medical care. The alleged abductor finagled the mother into disclosing her home address under the farce of checking on the infant's health, police said.
“She appeared at the hospital in scrubs,” Lt. Roy Bassett of the Lubbock Police Department said. “The nurses assumed she was [a friend] of the family’s.”
The woman, who claimed her name is Lisa Stewart, “made her way into the mother’s confidence” with repeated visits to the hospital room and home and by calling Priscilla "beautiful" and saying the infant should be entered in pageants, Bassett said. She visited the family under the pretense that she was checking on the baby’s health and said she would give the infant a swing and some clothes, police said.
She stopped by the family's home on Sunday afternoon, then disappeared with the newborn while the infant's mother, Erica Ysasaga, was tending to her 2-year-old son, police said........http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,198163,00.html
