US woman, 18, loves the 鈥榤om鈥 who stole her
Print Edition
AN 18-year-old woman abducted as a newborn from a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, says she still loves the only mother she has known.
Alexis Manigo told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview broadcast yesterday that the woman charged in her abduction, 51-year-old Gloria Williams, “will always be mom.”
Manigo met with her birth parents, Craig Aiken and Shanara Mobley, last weekend in Walterboro, South Carolina, where she was found earlier this month.
“I feel like I do owe them that, to give them a chance, you know, get to know them,” Manigo said. She realizes her life would have been different had she not been kidnapped.
“When you find out you’ve got another family, it gives you more love,” she said.
Williams was booked into the Duval County jail in Florida on Tuesday afternoon.
“It did hurt that they had her in cuffs,” Manigo said of an earlier court appearance in Walterboro. “She’s a gentle woman.”
Williams’ arrest came after DNA tests helped authorities identify the 18-year-old woman who had been living with her as Kamiyah Mobley. A woman dressed as a nurse took Mobley as an infant in 1998 from University Medical Center in Jacksonville.
Some months ago, the young woman “had an inclination” that she may have been kidnapped, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said. Authorities didn’t say why she suspected this and she did not have an explanation in the interview with ABC. She says she’s forgiven Williams.
“From that one mistake, I was given the best life,” she said.
