I didn't know her, 398 00:23:34,037 --> 00:23:37,749 but I empathized with her because I know what she's dealing with. 399 00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:39,668 She was a mother who loved her son, 400 00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:40,836 was in a park... 401 00:23:42,504 --> 00:23:43,547 letting him play. 402 00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:46,216 And just like that... 403 00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:48,677 they came back. 404 00:23:50,303 --> 00:23:52,639 [sobbing] They came back and took another kid. 405 00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:55,559 [Ken] Worst-case scenario, 406 00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:58,270 it was some pedophile, 407 00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:01,731 or we got a serial killer out there. 408 00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:05,152 I mean, it's an awful, awful thing to consider 409 00:24:05,235 --> 00:24:08,572 that anybody would wanna harm a child that young. 410 00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:09,948 But it happens. 411 00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:14,744 [Mary] After Shane went missing, 412 00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:18,665 it seemed like the NYPD escalated things. 413 00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:22,586 Most children that go missing, we find them. 414 00:24:23,003 --> 00:24:26,465 It's highly unusual not to find babies that go missing. 415 00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:29,718 And that's when we really started to hear talk 416 00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:32,095 about a possible baby-selling ring. 417 00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:33,472 [reporter] This new angle 418 00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:36,975 seems to confirm what Harlem residents have been saying for days. 419 00:24:37,058 --> 00:24:38,602 The kid being kidnapped 420 00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:41,396 and being sold in the black market and stuff like that. 421 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,733 Those people take those children because they want to sell them. 422 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,030 The possibility that anybody would be selling... 423 00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:55,243 Black infants, or young boys, was explored. 424 00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:58,497 And while it's an interesting theory 425 00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,415 as to why these kids were missing, 426 00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,167 it's not likely. 427 00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:05,170 I think it's very difficult to pay someone, 428 00:25:05,253 --> 00:25:07,631 let's say hypothetically, to steal a baby. 429 00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:12,344 There was nothing that surfaced in New York City Police Department 430 00:25:12,427 --> 00:25:15,388 that would indicate, you know, that that was going on. 431 00:25:15,472 --> 00:25:16,640 It was just negative. 432 00:25:16,723 --> 00:25:17,682 [inhales deeply] 433 00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:19,851 Nothing ever surfaced. 434 00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:24,981 [Rosa] We had two cops, two detectives, they came every day. 435 00:25:27,150 --> 00:25:30,612 Then they had the phone tapped in case anybody called, you know. 436 00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:33,323 You had cops in the house 24/7. 437 00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:39,913 Then that was it. 438 00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:42,624 They didn't come up with nothing. 439 00:25:45,961 --> 00:25:46,962 [horn toots] 440 00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:50,298 [Mary] That part of Harlem is so densely populated 441 00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:52,217 that I don't think it's unusual 442 00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:55,512 that Christopher and Shane vanished into thin air... 443 00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,391 because there were just too many people. 444 00:25:59,474 --> 00:26:03,603 And it was way before there was a surveillance camera on every corner. 445 00:26:07,774 --> 00:26:09,109 Frustrating, it really is. 446 00:26:09,192 --> 00:26:11,486 I mean, especially when there's not a lead. 447 00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:12,988 There's no leads to go on. 448 00:26:14,531 --> 00:26:16,074 We don't have bodies, 449 00:26:16,157 --> 00:26:17,492 we have two missing kids. 450 00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,327 You gotta have belief 451 00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,705 that maybe they survived. 452 00:26:22,497 --> 00:26:24,040 [Mary] I think it's possible 453 00:26:24,124 --> 00:26:26,668 Shane and Christopher are still alive. 454 00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:30,714 I think they were probably taken by people who couldn't have children, 455 00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:33,300 people who were desperate to have a baby. 456 00:26:35,969 --> 00:26:38,471 [Ken] There are individuals, for whatever reason, 457 00:26:38,555 --> 00:26:41,308 they can't have their own children, 458 00:26:41,391 --> 00:26:44,894 but they still want to experience parenthood. 459 00:26:48,231 --> 00:26:51,693 And for whatever reason, that person didn't have the ability 460 00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:53,778 to adopt in a normal sense, 461 00:26:53,862 --> 00:26:58,158 and they would abduct the child to raise as their own. 462 00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:04,205 [children shouting] 463 00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:14,090 After 30 years, the likelihood of finding a child alive and well, 464 00:27:14,174 --> 00:27:15,300 yes, is remote. 465 00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:18,345 We've learned never give up on these children, 466 00:27:19,012 --> 00:27:21,389 because we've seen amazing things happen. 467 00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:23,183 For instance, in New York City, 468 00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:26,645 Carlina White taken from Harlem Hospital. 469 00:27:29,189 --> 00:27:31,900 [reporter] Joy turned to tragedy for this young mother, 470 00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:33,735 her newborn baby

--> 00:27:51,419 She was comforting the parents. 477 00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:55,090 And then sometime, when the shifts were changing, 478 00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:57,133 this nurse apparently smuggled out the baby. 479 00:27:57,842 --> 00:28:01,012 Just give me my baby back, please. I just want her back. 480 00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:05,475 [Mary] There was a massive manhunt for this child. 481 00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:08,228 Carlina had vanished. 482 00:28:09,729 --> 00:28:11,690 Now to an unbelievable reunion. 483 00:28:11,773 --> 00:28:15,276 Twenty-three-year-old Carlina White  of Georgia had long suspected 484 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,737 she wasn't related to the people who raised her. 485 00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:19,781 Police believe a woman dressed as nurse 486 00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:23,368 kidnapped White from a New York City hospital in 1987 487 00:28:23,451 --> 00:28:24,786 when she was an infant. 488 00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:28,623 It turns out that Carlina White grew up as Netty Nance. 489 00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:31,835 She got pregnant, and in order to get medical insurance, 490 00:28:31,918 --> 00:28:34,045 she needed a valid birth certificate. 491 00:28:34,129 --> 00:28:36,131 She went with what she thought was valid 492 00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:37,632 and the officials told her, 493 00:28:37,716 --> 00:28:40,802 "This is a forgery.
