Simone Samuda, the mother of nine-week-old Kailee Walker who was snatched from her home three weeks ago, spent yesterday enjoying quality time with her daughter.

The woman who allegedly stole Kailee from her home fled to the New Haven community in Kingston after she was confronted by Samuda at her home in Seaview Gardens Wednesday afternoon. The accused baby snatcher reportedly handed the child over to a pastor who called the police.

"I got her back last night after they finished examining her," an elated Samuda told the Observer, adding that the doctors gave Kailee a clean bill of health. "I couldn't sleep last night, I just lay down and looked on her. I'm really glad I got her back."

Yesterday, Sergeant Denworth Barba, who is in charge of the Seaview Gardens Police Station, said the cops are very close to arresting the alleged baby snatcher.

"The investigation is ongoing and we suspect, based on our investigation thus far, that within a couple of days we will be able to find her," Sergeant Barba said. "We have some information as to her whereabouts but we cannot make that information public just yet, we don't want her to get jumpy on us."

Sergeant Barba also paid tribute to two of his colleagues - Detective Constable Nicholas Prendergast and Detective Corporal Dalton Morgan, both also of the Seaview Gardens Police Station - who he said were also pivotal in the investigation which led to the recovery of the child.
