Baby Snatched From Sleeping Mum’s Arms 17 Years Ago Found At Same School As Biological Sister
The baby of the woman pictured left above who was stolen from her sleeping arms 17 years ago has been reunited with her family after ending up at the same school as her biological sister.
Zephany Nurse was snatched from a Cape Town hospital in 1987 when she was just three days old.
She was reconciled with her biological family after pupils at a high school Cape Town noticed a striking similarity between girls Zephany and Cassidy, born three years apart.
Seeing the resemblance, Cassidy, aged 14, invited the older lookalike to meet her parents, and they immediately recognised their long lost first-born and contacted police.
Her real parents Celeste and Morne Nurse had been living only a short distance apart all these years and had never given up hope of finding her, celebrating her birthday every year with their three other children.
DNA tests revealed Zephany was their child and police have now charged a 50 year old woman with kidnapping.
Zephany grew up with a different name, and a different family, never knowing she was not their real daughter.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel André Traut confirmed that a woman had been arrested. She and her husband, who is also in his fifties, have no other children.
‘The suspect is being charged with kidnapping, fraud and contravening sections of the Children’s Act, in that she fraudulently pretended that she was the biological mother of a child,’ Traut said.
‘The kidnapped girl has since been placed in the care of the Department of Social Services of the Western Cape Government.’
