Family reunites with daughter stolen as baby
Print Edition
A BABY who was stolen from her sleeping mother’s arms shortly after birth 17 years ago has been found by the family through an astonishing coincidence, South African police said yesterday.
A 50-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with kidnapping after pupils noticed a remarkable likeness between the 17-year-old and her younger biological sister who started attending the same school this year.
DNA tests have confirmed that the older girl is the daughter of Celeste and Morne Nurse, who was snatched from Groote Schuur hospital as a 3-day-old baby named Zephany in April 1997, local media reported.
The parents, said they never gave up hope their first-born child would one day come home, the Cape Argus said.
Zephany grew up with a different name, and a different family, never knowing she was not their real daughter. But last month her biological sister, Cassidy Nurse, started at the same high school and fellow pupils noticed a startling resemblance between the two.
When Cassidy told her parents about the girl, they invited her to their home. When they saw the resemblance between the girls, they contacted the police.
Police confirmed that a woman has been arrested.
