Kidnapped boy reunited with dad 13 years after abduction
Story here. Excerpt:
'Missouri sheriff’s detectives busted a grandma accused of kidnapping her grandson 13 years ago.
Sandy Hatte, 60, snatched the baby boy in Florida while his father was at work, authorities said.
That was in 2000 and detectives say Hatte has been on the run ever since.
...
Relatives had hired a private investigator to track the wiley grandmother, but she stayed a step ahead until the school official thought something seemed odd.
Detective Eric Menconi said the father and son seemed to get along well, despite being separated for almost all of the boy’s life.
“It was a good reunion,” Menconi said. “You could tell within the first three minutes they hit it off pretty well. Since then I’ve been on the phone with the dad and from what I’m understanding it’s going very well. He’s adjusting.”
Hatte remains in the Livingston County Jail on a charge of child abduction. Her bail is $250,000.'
