Mother and daughter hid abducted boy for 8 years, court says

2/20/2013

A Texas mother-daughter pair abducted a baby boy and hid him for eight years, a jury determined today. Twitter reactions mostly cried "justice" as a judge handed down a 30-year prison sentence to Gloria Walker and eight years for her daughter, Krystle Rochelle Tanner, for kidnapping Miguel Morin, whom they claim was sold to them by his mother. Jurors said Tanner took the 8-month-old infant she babysat from a Houston apartment complex in 2004 and helped her mom keep him hidden for nearly a decade. They kept the boy in various Central and Eastern Texas homes, renaming him Jaquan. It was only in 2010, when Tanner's own newborn baby tested positive for marijuana that an investigation was started that later led to the missing boy. [Source]
