MIRACLE! NEWBORN BABY KIDNAPPED 18 YEAR AGO FOUND ALIVE ! ( PHOTOS)

Kamiyah Mobley, who was kidnapped from a hospital in Florida in 1998, just hours after she was born, has been found alive and healthy in South Carolina, authorities announced Friday, cracking a case that went unsolved for 18 years.
“She appears to be a normal 18-year-old woman,” Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said of , Kamiyah Mobley who was found in Walterboro living under a different name. “She has a lot to process, a lot to think about.”

Gloria Williams

The 51-year-old woman Mobley has been living with, Gloria Williams, was arrested on Friday and charged with kidnapping and interference with custody.
The whole incident began on July 10, 1998, at the University Medical Center in Jacksonville – now known as the UF Health Jacksonville.

Shanara Mobley

Shanara Mobley who was only 16 at that time, had given birth to Kamiyah. Eight hours later, a woman posing as a nurse said the newborn had a fever and needed to be looked at. The woman picked up Kamiyah and left the hospital, never to be seen again. At the time Kamiyah was born, her father was in jail for having sex with a minor (Shanara).

Authorities said the woman had roamed the halls of the University Medical Center for 14 hours. She had spent five hours with Kamiyah and her mother Shanara. But nurses thought she was a member of their family.

It was Velma who became suspicious when she saw the woman leave with a handbag slung over her shoulder as she carried Kamiyah away.
'I just feel like if I would have reacted on my feelings… I could have done something,' Aiken said. 'I could have taken that lady out with my bare hands.'

But by the time the hospital staff was notified, it was too late. Every floor and room of the hospital was searched. Police called bus and train stations and airports to look out for baby Kamiyah. The FBI became involved.

Surveillance video released to the public in a plea for help showed a kidnapper that was too grainy to identify. And an extensive search of the hospital also turned up nothing.
A year after her disappearance, police had more than 2,000 leads and offered a $250,000 reward for Kamiyah, while the case drew national attention on the TV show “America’s Most Wanted"

 But all the leads ran dry, until, Williams said, a tipster began feeding information to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Kamiyah might be living in South Carolina.

Williams said they contacted Kamiyah and told them of their suspicion and asked for a DNA sample, which she willingly provided. Williams said Friday that a DNA swab test from the 18-year-old woman matched Kamiyah’s DNA from the hospital.

He said Kamiyah had a suspicion some months ago that something odd might have occurred in her past, but until the test came back positive, she believed Gloria Williams was her real mother.
“I can’t stress enough to give her some space and try to let her process this and get through it,” the sheriff told reporters Friday.


Williams said authorities confirmed only late Thursday night that they had found Kamiyah, and when they broke the news to her biological family, they were elated.

On the 10th anniversary of the kidnapping, Shanara Mobley, who was then 26, told the Florida Times-Union that it was “stressful to wake up every day knowing that your child is out there and you have no way to reach her or talk to her.”
She also told the newspaper that in 2000, she settled a lawsuit with the hospital over the case and received $1.5 million.

Gloria Williams was arrested at her home on Friday morning and will be sent to Jacksonville to face charges. Kamiyah was not present when she was taken in to custody.
As for Kamiyah, police say the opportunity is there for her to get back in touch with her biological family, but the decision to do so is up to her. 'They were extremely excited, as you can imagine,' he said. 'Overwhelmed with emotion.'

Kamiyah's father and grandmother, Craig and Velma Aiken, said they have already spoken to her on FaceTime, as did Kamiyah's mother Shanara, who has since had three more children.  Craig and Velma revealed that they immediately noticed that Kamiyah looked like her father, according to First Coast News.
'I can't wait,' Craig said of an upcoming reunion. 'It's been 18 years. I can't wait no longer.'

Velma, 66, said her granddaughter chatted with the family as if they had known each other her whole life.
"She looks just like her daddy," she told The Associated Press. 'She act like she been talking to us all the time. She told us she'd be here soon to see us."
Velma, who prayed she would see her granddaughter before the day she died, told the New York Daily News 'everyone broken down in tears' during the conversation. She added that Kamiyah is 'well and looking good' but revealed the family has not set an official reunion date yet and don't want to rush her.Authorities on Friday also did not reveal a motive for why Gloria Williams allegedly kidnapped the girl, saying that they are at the beginning stages of a complicated investigation.

“There are lots of questions left unanswered,” Williams said.

Court records show that Gloria Williams has an extensive criminal record and has been found guilty of writing fraudulent checks and welfare fraud.

NIGERIAN MAN DIES IN INDIA AFTER SCUFFLE WITH HIS FORMER LANDLORD !

Igwe Francis,36, died under mysterious circumstances, moments after he got into a scuffle with his former landlord, in southwest Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, on January 6th, 2017. Francis reportedly got into an argument with his former landlord, Liaquat Ali, who claimed he owed him Rs 30,000 in rent. According to the Police, since Francis was not fluent in English, Ali wrote the figure “30,000” on a signboard at the spot.

The two then got into a scuffle, following which Francis tried to run away. But after running 200 metres, he collapsed on the road, police said, citing eyewitnesses. He was rushed to a hospital nearby, but it didn’t have life-saving equipment. Francis was then taken to Mata Chanan Devi Hospital, where he was declared brought dead. DCP (southwest) Surender Kumar said initial investigation revealed Francis had bruises on his body.

"As per the initial report doctors gave us, he had an injury on the back of his head. We are yet to establish if he hurt himself or if he was beaten up. We have questioned at least 25 people, but none of them said he was beaten up. We are conducting a thorough investigation," said the DCP.
He said the Ministry of External Affairs has been informed about the incident. Ali is being questioned and investigation will be complete within 30 days, Kumar said. Police sources said a case was filed after the medical report revealed a head injury.

On January 8, Ali was booked under IPC Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).

The case was filed on the basis of a complaint by the victim’s brother, whom he called minutes before he collapsed.

According to the FIR, Francis said over the phone that he was "being attacked". The brother, who did not wish to be named, said,
"I received a call from him that his previous landlord was harassing him. He called me again saying he was being attacked and needed my help. A few minutes later, when I arrived, I found him lying unconscious on the road."
He alleged that Francis was dragged inside a garage and beaten up by three people.
"He managed to escape but collapsed on the road," he said.
