Gorgeous actress/model Michelle Marie Gopaul is being held without bail in the mysterious kidnapping of an infant, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
Police in Toronto, Canada are still trying to figure out why the Manhattan woman allegedly kidnapped the baby girl.
In a story with more twists and turns than a Hollywood thriller, it is alleged that Gopaul set up a phony casting call for an infant. She even conned a workman into letting her into a video company's office space -- claiming she'd rented it but had lost her key and needed to get in, reports Toronto's CityNews TV --woman-charged-in-alleged-abduction-of-newborn which landed an exclusive interview with the abducted baby's father, Viral Pital.
