万花筒 2011-01-22&01-24 23年等待，被拐女孩终与父母团聚

 Her gut¹ told her that something just wasn't right. Her hard work cracked the case. And tonight we heard for the first time from the young woman who solved her own kidnapping after 23 years. The case's gone cold since three week-old grow was snatched from a hospital crib. But Andrew Canny³ tells us how one young mom did what teams of detectives could not.

 

After 23 years this once shattered family is whole again.

 

What I felt when I lost my daughter, oh my god, that was like a big part of my heart just like just was ripped apart.

 

I just always believe that she will find me. There was something that I always believe in myself you know that she will come and find me.

 

In 1987, Kalina White, just 19 days old at that time, was snatched from this hospital. 

 

I hope she's all right, let me get her home to take good care of my baby.

 

The family believed she was adopted by a woman disguised as a nurse who had recently lost her own baby. Kalina was taken to Connecticut where she was given a new name, Nedra Nance⁴, and a new life, reportedly raised by this woman. I just hoped that the officials will forgive ahm, her and their hands. Police have not confirmed the abductor's identity and will only say a criminal investigation⁵ is under way. This miraculous⁶ reunion resolved of Kalina's own suspicions when the woman she thought was her mother couldn't provide a birth certificate, she did her own detective work. 

 

I just started typing in yahoo and google like different articles like anything that put up in 1987 which any child missing. The baby picture just stroke me,because look at it that I think is my daughter. 

 

She is talking about this photo found on a missing children's website, along with a compositive of how that baby might look today. It was like looking in a mirror. Steve Loftin is the artist behind that composite. I more or less use her mother's picture and picture of her as an infant as reference points. 

 

It is a one in a million kind of thing that happens. So, this is the longest strange abduction case that we are aware of the type ever been resolved. 

 

A DNA² test ultimately proved Kalina and Joy White were in fact mother and daughter. And today they are making up for that precious lost time.
