Stolen baby back in Lubbock

BY ERIC FINLEY

Four-day-old Mychael Darthard-Dawodu is safe and back in Lubbock - thanks to a tip to Lubbock police - and the woman police believe kidnapped her from a local hospital has been arrested in New Mexico.
The infant was found early Sunday morning in a house in Clovis and later taken to the hospital by Clovis police.

"All indications are the baby is in fine health and doing well," said Lubbock Police Lt. Scott Hudgens. Mychael was jaundiced when she was taken from the hospital early Saturday morning and in need of medical care, police said.

Rayshaun Parson, 21, of Clovis and the woman police believe kidnapped Mychael, is being held as a fugitive from justice in Clovis. A hearing to determine whether she will be returned to Texas is set for 10 a.m. today.


Hudgens said an extradition process could take several days. When returned, Parson faces state kidnapping charges.
The FBI is also looking into filing federal kidnapping charges, said FBI Agent Lori Bailey in Dallas.

The story has garnered national attention.

But the parents, mother Caisha LaShae Darthard, 20, and father Michael "Mike" Anuoluwapo Dawodu, both of Lubbock, declined to talk with reporters for a second straight day.

They scheduled a press conference for 10:30 a.m. today at the hospital, where they are expected to make a statement but have chosen not to take questions, a hospital spokeswoman said.

"The mommy has requested her privacy right now to be with the little one ... that's certainly her call," said Gwen Stafford, Covenant Health System vice president.

"Certainly they are relieved and happy, and the next chapter is to have the mother hold the baby in her arms," she said.

Mychael was taken from the hospital shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday.

Police say Parson posed as a nurse and told the parents she needed to take Mychael for tests. Security cameras later caught her leaving the hospital, possibly with the five-pound infant stuffed in a purse or under a large winter parka.

Hudgens said the Lubbock Police Department received a tip "that finally paid off, thank goodness," shortly after midnight Sunday. The tipster reported a woman, who fit the description of the one caught on video leaving the hospital, was in Clovis.

Mychael was found around 3 a.m. Sunday at a residence, where she was found with an unidentified woman.

From there, police were able to locate Parson. Hudgens said the connection between Parson and the house where the infant was found is still being investigated.

It's unknown whether the woman at the house faces any charges.

Witnesses at the hospital reported seeing a male accomplice, but Hudgens said police have yet to find him.

It's possible the woman had a medical background, and the scrubs she wore were similar to those nurses wear. It's still unclear whether she was a current or former employee of the hospital or if she knew the family.

"This individual was pretty sophisticated or at least knowledgeable of what happens at health care institutions," Stafford said.

The Associated Press reported Sunday that Parson has had run-ins with the law before. In May 2004, a protective order was issued against her in a domestic violence incident involving a boyfriend, according to the AP.

In January 2005, she was charged with fraud, the AP reported.

Clovis phone listings, which may have belonged to Parson, were disconnected Sunday.

Hudgens also said he did not know what Parson's intent would have been, nor do police know if she intentionally targeted Mychael. Clovis police referred questions about Parson to the FBI.

Agent Bailey said she could not comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

The house supervisor at Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis said she could not provide any information about whether Parson has ever been employed there. Workers at several nursing homes in Clovis said they did not recognize Parson's name.

Greg Bruce, a spokesman with University Medical Center in Lubbock, said Parson has never worked there.

Stafford said the security system at the hospital worked: the security bracelet on Mychael's ankle activated alarms when it was removed and allowed hospital officials to get a description of a red Dodge pickup Parson is believed to have driven away in.

"We've got to do better," Stafford said. "Not just this hospital, but all hospitals is this world today."

"When somebody impersonates and has some intentions, it makes it more difficult," Stafford said. "But that's no excuse. We've got to do better."

I spell the RIGHT way, having abandoned respect
for illogical tradition that requires inefficiency and stupidity.

I spelled the RONG way ( as u do ) for quite a few decades
b4 I repented my errors and began spelling correctly.

It is idiotic
to put an L into wud, cud or shud, or to use ph instead of F,
or to add UGH to the word THO.

I am an iconoclastic supporter of sound reasoning.
I offer to lead by example.
