A mother was reunited with her newborn baby Saturday, a day after the child was kidnapped from a hospital maternity ward.
Police with tracker dogs and a Royal Air Force helicopter had searched for the 4-day-old girl. She apparently was kidnapped by a woman who had befriended the child's mother.Christine Owens appeared on Independent Television News cradling her baby, Lydia.
Police returned the baby but wouldn't describe the circumstances, saying only that two people from Rhyll in northern Wales were helping in the inquiry. Police said the woman they believe took Lydia from Glan Clwyd General Hospital at Bodelwyddan was 30 to 40 years old.
