Missing newborn reunited with mother

? Stephanie Lynn Anderson Jones, 33, was arraigned Tuesday on kidnapping and child endangerment charges, accused of snatching a newborn from her mother over the weekend.

The baby, Priscilla Nicole Maldonado, 5 days old, was discovered Monday in a car seat abandoned beneath a condominium carport in 104-degree heat. A tip had led authorities to Jones, and Jones led them to the baby in the carport less than four miles from the mobile home park where Jones lived, police said.

The baby was in stable condition Tuesday at University Medical Center, where her mother, Erica Ysasaga, was not letting Priscilla out of her sight.

“The doctors wanted to check her and I didn’t want to let go. I didn’t want to stop hugging and kissing her,” Ysasaga said.

The abduction occurred less than a year after Ysasaga’s and Jesse Maldonado’s 2-month-old daughter, Faith Esperanza Maldonado, choked to death. Police ruled out foul play in the baby’s death.
