In the United States, fetal abduction accounted for 6% of the recorded 302 cases of infant abduction between 1983 and 2015. This phenomenon is so rare that most people would never expect it to happen to them. At the age of 18, Angelique Cruz was only weeks shy of delivering her baby boy when a friend made an attempt at stealing him. We had the privilege of hearing the story from Angelique directly, so join us as she takes us through the ups and downs of that fateful night.
You can follow her on Instagram (@angelique.monet92) and TikTok (@angeliquemonet0 to keep up with any future progress on her case.
