    This article is about the kidnapping of Carlina White. Carlina Renae White was born July 15, 1987 and was also known as Nejdra “Netty” Nance. Carlina White was a 23 year old US American citizen who had solved her own kidnapping case at the age of 23. This abduction was known to represent the longest known gap in a non –parental abduction where the victim was returned back to their parents. The story begins when Carlina was just 19 days old when her parents Carl Tyson and Joy white had taken Carlina to the hospital due to her having high fever on August 4, 1987. Unfortunately, they realized that Carlina had swallowed fluid during her delivery and had developed an infection. A woman had overseen Carlina while she was in the hospital however; she was not a hospital employee. This mysterious lady seemed to be normal and had then comforted the parents of Carlina three weeks before the abduction. Baby Carlina disappeared early one morning while the shifts were changing. Unfortunately, the cameras in the hospital where not operating, so the police had nothing to go on but a description from Joy and Carl. The baby was receiving antibiotics when the IV line was cut and she was abducted. One of the hospital guards said that she did recognize the same lady that Joy and Carl described; however, there was no baby with her. The police assumed that the baby could well have been hidden in her smock. This case became the first well known infant abduction from the New York hospital. The city of New York offered a $10,000 cash reward for the return of Carlina. The parents Joy and Carl quickly filed a 100 million dollar suit against the hospital in 1989, and received a 750,000 settlement in 1992. Carlina was raised by Annugetta Pettway in Bridgeport, Connecticut as Nejdra Nance. Throughout the years Carlina grew suspicious because she had no social security card and a forged birth certificate by her assumed mother Annugetta. Carlina also…

    The value of this story is, not everything seems as it appears. The theme is still relevant. Evil does not sleep, it is always seeking for its next victim. It comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and forms. Children and young adults are the most vulnerable and can fall easy preys to these predators. For example, the Ariel Castro Kidnappings. The three young girls who disappeared were Michelle Knight was 21 years of age, Amanda Berry 17 years old and Gina de Jesus only 14 years old. The first victim to be kidnapped by Ariel Castro was Michelle Knight. She went missing on August of 2002.

    The Police Department of Alamance County had never seen a victim so composed, so determined and so sure. Just a few hours after her horrifying ordeal, after the emotionless doctor swabbed her vagina for semen samples at the hospital, Jennifer sat down at the police station with Detective Mike Gauldin. "The first comment I remember her making was that, “I'm going to get this guy that did this to me.” She said, “I took the time to look at him. I will be able to identify him if I'm given an opportunity," Gauldin remembered her saying (Hansen, 2001). She began combing through photos, trying to help come up with a composite of her rapist.…

    Crt 205 Deductive Reasoning

    The important part of knowing and understanding the facts before making a decision is to make the right decision with the information that you already know. Without this, you can easily make a rash decision that could have consequences you did not think of before. For example in the third argument Mark was looking at a new Jeep as it would let him get his dream car and have room for a new baby. One factor to consider however; is if they plan on having more than one kid in the future. If they decide to have more kids then they will easily run out of room in a Jeep and they would be in the same predicament as they are currently in. Looking at the fifth argument Jenna is in a situation where she can cheat to keep up with her schooling or try to complete all of her work on her own. It is important for her to know that cheating could get her removed from school and possibly loose financial aid money if she has applied for any. It is important for her to weigh these options before considering taking the low road and using other peoples work to aid her.…
