Long Thought Dead, a Child Is Found Alive and Healthy

PHILADELPHIA, March 2 A woman who police officials said kidnapped a newborn six years ago, set fire to the mother’s house to make her believe that the baby girl had died in the blaze, and then raised the child as her own, surrendered to authorities on Tuesday.
The strangest part:
While assured that they had solved part of the mystery in the disappearance of Delimar Vera, investigators are just starting to try to unravel other questions in the case, including how Ms. Correa was able to persuade people six years ago that the child was hers.
Andre Moore, who said he was dating Ms. Correa at that time, said she appeared to be pregnant and later told him that the infant was his daughter. Mr. Moore said he learned that the girl was not his child in 1999, when he requested a paternity test.

…….it seems to me that the best way to preserve the sanctity of American marriage is for us all to spend less time fretting about other people’s marriages and more time improving our own.
