Newborn found safe in NM
I take this kind of stuff personal. I used to be a baby, y'know...LUBBOCK, Texas - A newborn kidnapped from a hospital here was found safe in a New Mexico home on Sunday, police said. Four-day-old Mychael Darthard-Dawodu was taken by police to Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis, N.M., where she was in good condition, Clovis police Lt. James Schoeffel said Sunday. Transportation was being arranged to return the baby to Texas, said Lubbock police Lt. Scott Hudgens. ''We're ecstatic to be able to locate the child still in good health and to be able to reunite her with her mother,'' Hudgens said Sunday morning. The infant was kidnapped early Saturday by a woman posing as a medical worker, who walked out of Covenant Lakeside Hospital with the 5-pound baby hidden in her purse, police said. A 21-year-old woman was in custody Sunday in Clovis, authorities said. Law enforcement officials received information from more than one source that the baby was in Clovis, about 100 miles northwest of Lubbock, said FBI spokeswoman Lori Bailey in Dallas.
