An Analysis of Infant Abdunctions, edited by Ann Wolbert Burgess and Kenneth V. Lanning

An excerpt:

The morning of the abduction she purchased nurses’ shoes and spent the rest of the day relaxing. At 11:00 P.M. she returned to the hospital and slipped into her scrubs in a bathroom. Since access to the nursery was through the nurses’ station, she approached the nursery nurse; leaned on the counter as she had seen other nurses do; and told her that the infant’s mother, “Mrs. B,” wanted to see her child. Candice chose that infant because her name was the easiest to read through the nursery window. The nurse told her it was OK, and when Candice tried to wheel the infant out in her crib the nurse told her to simply carry the child to keep the noise level down. Taking the infant to the first floor bathroom Candice removed her scrubs and walked out the front door of the hospital. She took care of the infant in the motel room until driving back to her hometown.
