This is amazing and I wanted to share it with everyone. Its one of the great things that happen when you have a blog like this one.

The baby she kidnapped was Corrine Modell. Detectives were able to track down the woman with the help of a street-wise prostitute who sincerely wanted to help and did so without accepting the combined reward of $3,000.
