Carlina White's Amazing Return After Kidnapping Is Reminiscent of Other Cases
Carlina White's amazing reunion story with her mother and father is as chilling as it is heartwarming. As an infant, Carlina was snatched from a hospital in Harlem where her parents Joy White and Carl Tyson had taken their feverish baby. Carlina was raised in nearby Bridgeport, Conn., under the name Nejdra Nance. But as she grew up, Carlina eventually became suspicious of her parentage. For one thing, there was no birth certificate or Social Security card. And her instincts kept cluing her in that she did not belong to the family that raised her.
Although stolen children returning to reclaim their identities and rejoin their families in adulthood is unusual, Carlina White is not the first.
* In 2001, Matthew Propp was reunited with his biological father
Anthony Russini. Propp had been stolen when he was a toddler and was a young adult by the time his true identity became known. Propp was at the center of a contested adoption and when the court ruled the adoption invalid, Barry and Judith Smiley, ran off with baby Matthew in 1979. They lived under the alias Propp until the deceit was discovered 21 years later. Barry and Judith Smiley were both convicted, him of second-degree kidnapping, her of custodial interference.
* Jaycee Lee Dugard is probably the most recognized name among stolen children >>>>snip
Rhonda Christie came home 36 years after her abduction at age 4 >>>>>>>>>snip
