Police: Missing baby reunited with family, woman in custody
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities say a Texas woman who faked her pregnancy kidnapped a baby whose mother was found shot to death at her Kansas home.
Wichita police said Monday that the 34-year-old Dallas suspect is believed to have known the baby's mother for years.
The baby's mother, 27-year-old Laura Abarca-Nogueda, was found shot to death at her home Thursday, setting off a search for missing baby Sophia. The baby was six days old when she was reported missing.

The suspect is being held in Dallas on suspicion of first-degree murder and kidnapping. The case is expected to be presented to the Sedgwick County district attorney's office later Friday for charges and extradition to Kansas.
