An FBI agent saved a newborn baby who was kidnapped from his mother's hospital room 22 years ago. They were reunited for the first time at the agent's retirement ceremony.
An FBI special agent often thought about a case in which he rescued a newborn baby, who had been kidnapped from his mother’s hospital room, early in his career. On the day of his retirement ceremony 22 years later, his colleagues surprised him with a visit from the same newborn — now a young Marine — to thank him and wish him the best.
Sowers was assigned to the kidnapping case in 1997 in Lakewood, Wash., when he had been in the field for barely two months. According to the FBI, he participated in an “agonizing” 19-hour search for the infant after a woman posing as a doctor took Rembert as a newborn, and later abandoned him in a cardboard box behind a convenience store. Sowers managed to return the baby to his “grateful” parents.
“I’m completely surprised they pulled this off,” Sowers said. “I did not know it at all — I’d wanted something very simple. I asked for coffee and donuts, and they shocked me.”
