The Philadelphia woman’s ten-day old infant had supposedly died in her crib in a house fire six years previously. She was convinced that the little girl at the birthday party was her own daughter, however; on a pretext, she obtained several strands of her hair and confirmed her hunch with DNA testing. The girl had been kidnapped from her crib by a family acquaintance (with a history of a prior arson conviction) who raised her as her own after setting the fire as a cover. — Atlanta Journal Constitution
