NASHVILLE, Tenn. - An Alabama woman is facing kidnapping charges in the abduction of a newborn in Tennessee.
Authorities say the infant was taken by a woman posing as an immigration agent. The child was found safe and sound last night. He's now in a foster home awaiting a reunion with his mother.
Police have arrested 39-year-old Tammy Renee Silas in the kidnapping.
The child's mother told police a woman claiming she was an immigration agent arrived at her home Tuesday and stabbed her several times. The mother ran to the home of a neighbor, who said she came to him "covered from her head to her toe with blood." He says she asked him to save her children from the "lady in the kitchen" who had a butcher knife. When he went over there, he says the baby boy was missing.
The FBI noted "this child has spent half his life away from his family" and said it's time to reunite them.
