That is GREAT news! This story really bugged me a lot. I hope that crazy that took the baby spends the rest of her miserable life locked up!

Great news! I was thinking it was like that one nut-job from about 10 years ago who said that a stanger kidnapped her babies ... each only a couple months after they were born. She ended up killing them all herself. I like this ending much better.

UNION, Mo. — A family spokesperson says that little Abigale Woods has been found and is safe and well, FOX News has confirmed.

The news comes nearly a week after the infant was stolen when a suspect rushed into a rural Missouri home, told a young mother "I'm here to take your child," then slashed the mother's throat and left with her now nearly two-week-old baby.

The child's mother Stephanie Ochsenbine, 21, said she did not know her attacker, and is now doing fine following surgery.

The attacker had gained entry to the family's home last Friday afternoon by asking to use Ochsenbine's telephone. Ochsenbine's boyfriend, James Woods, who is Abby's father, was at work at the time, police said.

They fought after the woman told Ochsenbine "I'm here to take your child," and Ochsenbine was stabbed several times and her throat was slashed.

Ochsenbine's 1-year-old son, Connor, also was in the house but was unharmed.

Ochsenbine passed out and police aren't sure how long she was unconscious.

When she regained consciousness, she picked up Connor and went for help, trying two houses where no one was home before arriving at neighbor Pat Bearden's home.

"She was standing there with blood all over her and said 'Somebody stole my baby,'" said Pat Bearden, 69.

Praise God!!!

We have been praying for Baby Abby and her family and am so happy news is postive.

This is one of the most sick and saddest stories I've ever heard ! What kind of woman would break into your home by pretense, cut your throat, leave you for dead, and steal your 2 wk old baby ?! Thankfully, the mother is healing and baby is being checked thoroughly and appears healthy. God Bless Abigale Woods and her family!! Prayers and positive thoughts as they put this behind them.

BTW - Sadly, they now discourage proud parents from putting "Welcome Baby" signs in yard.

Thank God!! What an ordeal this poor family has been through.

I was wondering how the woman knew that there was a newborn in the house. Was it because of a new bwby welcome flag?

praise God!

I heard the grandmother interviewed and she said she and another family member had made a sign that said 'welcome baby' she was urging other families to never advertise a new baby.

Very good advice I think. I never did understand that concept, maybe Im just overly cautious when it comes to stuff like that. I know they advised us at the birth of our first child to not put those up for that very reason.

This is WONDERFUL news.

ITA about the New Baby signs. When we had DS 9 years ago, the RN teaching our childbirth class advised against them, and my regular nurse who cared for us did the same. That's what's so sad.

I think this is the best possible outcome. (bit of an understatement, huh?)

What GREAT news....I have been following the story and I am just so happy that the baby has been found.

I'm so glad this had a happy ending. I wonder what is really wrong with people like that.
