Gloria expected to spend the night in the hospital before heading home in the morning, but when she say Kamiyah she had a new idea.
#10 “A Nurse”
Gloria Williams walked into the hospital nursery, introduced herself as a nurse, and asked if she could check Kamiyah for a fever. Not knowing any different, the nurses happily agreed. She told them she was going to take her child on a walk around the hospital. This was a normal thing to do, so the staff wasn’t concerned.

Instead of walking around the hospital, Gloria walked straight out the front door. Because she was wearing scrubs, no one stopped her or thought that there was anything fishy about the situation. She had just kidnapped a child, and no one had been there to stop her. It took several more hours before the Mobleys were notified about their missing child…
#8 The Cops Are On It
The President of the hospital came into the Mobley’s room to deliver the bad news. Naturally, he brought a team of police officers and special investigators. He assured them they would find their sweet baby girl. Sadly, no one could imagine how long it would take for Gloria Williams to be caught.
