Kidnapped Teen Bombshell: Mom Confessed She ‘Stole’ Baby, Court Documents Claim
Gloria Williams confessed that she “stole” her daughter from the hospital the day she was born, bombshell court documents in the Kamiyah Mobley case obtained by RadarOnline.com claim.
The arrest warrant issued for Williams reveals that the 18-year investigation was stalled until late last year, when series of tips blew the cold case wide open, resulting in the discovery of the teenager that is now named Alexis Kelli Manigo.
“On August 8, 2016, an anonymous tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which provided information that the victim was currently residing in Walterboro, South Carolina,” the affidavit for the arrest warrant states.
“The tip stated that the victim told her friend that the victim was kidnapped when she was a baby, and is listed as a missing person,” the documents obtained by RadarOnline.com state.
Another tip received on November 8, 2016, provided the name of Gloria Bolden Williams, who has been arrested and is being held on a $500,003.00 bond.
Detectives went to Alexis Kelli’s high school and obtained her birth certificate and social security card, which they determined were “fraudulent,” the document states.
According to the affidavit, “The Social Security number listed with Alexis name was issued to someone in Virginia, who died in 1983.”
