I found this statement made by the mother odd. "That" baby, not my baby.

What?? Where did you see the comment "that baby wasn't my baby"? This whole thing is strange.

No one said "that baby wasn't my baby". Michlady was just saying it was odd that the mother called him "that" baby instead of saying "my" baby.

Does anyone else think that what an 18 year old mother says when she discovers her 5 day old infant has been kidnapped should be excused? Personally, I don't think I would be able to form a coherent sentence were I to endure what she has! Besides, she's probably been misquoted.

Has anyone heard a follow-up on this? Has the sister said why she took the baby? Has there been an interview with the person who found him?

The woman who abducted the baby has not spoken to the media since she obtained legal representation. I have not read or heard any interviews from the police chief who found the child.

Thank you, deep!

Yes, they believe she was faking a pregnancy back in Colorado where she's from. They found a fake belly prosthesis in her car and a stack of baby clothes. She must have got scared when she saw the police out on the highways looking. The baby was found quite near to where she was stopped by police. The officer who found him seemed overjoyed naturally.

"West Branch Police Chief Mike Horihan decided to check the area around a BP station about 500 yards from the Kum & Go station where Smith was arrested. He heard a baby's cries and discovered Kayden in a closed storage crate alongside the building. The newborn was swaddled in blankets and was responsive and healthy, the chief said.

"I had tears in my eyes," BP station manager Jay Patel said, recalling his reaction to the police chief telling him that the infant had been found. "It's good news but it's sad, too."

Temperatures in West Branch, about 180 miles southwest of the Town of Beloit, dipped below zero Thursday night into Friday. They were still in the single digits when the baby was found.

"Surprisingly with the weather the way it was, he was surprisingly healthy," Horihan, the Iowa police chief, said. "To be honest with you, that's not what I expected."

Thank you, BCB!

I'd been wondering if that was the case, for sure it's not unheard of. She must have serious emotional problems, not only to do that, but to think she could get away with it. Especially being a family member.
