Missing baby found; impostor nurse arrested

? A missing 5-day-old baby was found Monday evening, and police arrested a woman suspected of abducting the child more than a day earlier after she had posed as a nurse in medical scrubs.

Priscilla Nicole Maldonado was taken to University Medical Center. Hospital spokesman Greg Bruce said the baby was fine.

Police said the infant was found alone in a car seat beneath a carport in 104-degree weather. It was not clear how long she had been outside before authorities arrived.

“She’s back into our hands. Everybody’s happy,” said Jesse Madrid, the baby’s great-uncle. “We couldn’t have asked for more.”

Lt. Roy Bassett said police rescued the child after a caller suggested they contact a man in Lubbock. Police called the man and asked if his wife had recently had a baby. The man said she had, but his answers had “obvious flaws,” Bassett said.

Stephanie Lynn Anderson Jones, 33, was being held on kidnapping charges. Detectives were questioning her and her husband.
