Hi everybody. I'm reading like a madwoman, trying to catch up. I did want to say one thing though, because I keep seeing it suggested as a possibility: I don't think she was taken by someone to be raised as their own unless it was family or close friend. Someone that does that sort of thing is more likely to go after a pregnant woman or a newborn, so that they can pass the baby off as theirs. It's kind of hard to pass of a ten month old as your own without someone stating the obvious.
Also, I do understand where the posters are coming from when they ask what the chances re that someone would just randomly kidnap her out of her bed, but it does happen, with no apparent rhyme nor reason as to the victim choice. There was a 16 year old girl in my hometown that stole an infant from the mother's car, in front of her house, in a fifteen second window of time, and then disappeared with the baby. It took them almost a full day to find her. The mother and baby were both strangers to her, and she hadn't been faking a pregnancy. She just decided that she wanted a baby, so she took one. The mother was taking groceries in, left the baby in the car, with the door open so she could watch her, and while she was facing the door, and getting her key in the lock the teenager grabbed the baby and took off. It can literally happen that fast. So, it's feasible, but I think there are a lot of holes in the story here, so I'm not quite sure that it's the most plausible explanation in this case.
