Mom Charged With Attempted Murder After Throwing ‘Kidnapped’ Baby Down 75-Foot Ravine: Police
The Daily Beast ^ | 5-10-19 | Pilar Melendez

Seven-week-old Shaylie was found alive Thursday night. Her mom, Krista Noelle Madden, had claimed she and the newborn were kidnapped by masked attackers.

The North Carolina mother who claimed she and her 7-week-old baby had been kidnapped by masked attackers was charged with attempted murder Friday after her child was found alive at the bottom of a 75-foot ravine, police said.

“We believe she was thrown over,” Henderson County Sheriff Lowell Griffin said at a press conference on Friday morning. “When the child was discovered, the child was out of the car seat, however, the indications lead us to believe the child went over the bank in the car seat and after it hit the ground, subsequently, it rolled out of the car seat.”

The infant, 7-week-old Shaylie, was found safe Thursday night, hours after her mother, 35-year-old Krista Noelle Madden, told police that a man and a woman wearing ski masks had kidnapped her child, according to police. On Friday morning, Madden was charged with attempted first-degree murder, and she’s currently being held in Henderson County on a $750,000 bond.

“By the grace of God we are standing here with a child that’s been discovered and is alive,” Griffin said.

Authorities said Madden called police around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, claiming she and her infant had been kidnapped in Biltmore Park by two suspects and were taken away in a silver 2014 Mazda CX-5 that was later located in Henderson County.

Madden told police that she was able to get away from the kidnappers, but her infant, who was wearing “a pink onesie with horizontal white stripes,” was still with the masked assailants. She described the suspects as a thin “male and female” wearing ski masks, but did not offer details on how she managed to escape, cops said.

Put the baby in a good home.
Throw that sub-human off the same cliff.

“...Madden, who is a registered nurse anesthetist at Mission Health...”
*****************************
Well, if she’s a nurse anesthetist, she shouldn’t be poverty stricken unless she has a drug problem. I guess postpartum depression is also a possibility. She sure looks depressed in her booking photo.

Why are there so many people trying to win the “Wing Nut of the Year” award lately?

The story is written up in a slap-dash, jig saw kind of manner. It wasn’t till late in the article that we discover the mother is a Nurse of anesthesiology, and that she has a second young child. Anyone in charge of administering anesthetics has to be disciplined enough not to start taking the drugs themselves. This may lead to explain her motivation or her state of mind on that day.

Yesterday it was the baby in the dumpster.
Day before, McDonald’s bathroom.
Today, this.

Why don’t the mothers just put the child up for adoption? I’m sure lots of couples would like a baby.

He put “suspects” in quotes, meaning he didn’t believe her story.

Jackass.

The mental health professionals have been failing society for a number of years now and that failure is now being manifested in what we are experiencing. They seem to have made their mission to be giving credence to the progressive liberal changes in society.

We need to find a way to get the psychopaths off the streets.

Perhaps democrat politicians have reached “full occupancy” so homeless demons are finding other hosts.

Either the photos are a lie, or something went wrong along the way.

Wonder if the husband noticed her behaving strangely.

This happened in my area. The Woman is married to a heart surgeon so they are no doubt very wealthy. Her story seemed sketchy from the start. Two thin, presumably white people,a read headed man and a black headed woman, wearing ski masks supposedly tried to kidnap her, but she escaped. They made off with the baby instead.

This was reported in uber-liberal Asheville, but the crime happened a county over in Henderson county which is the heart of Mark Meadow’s district. The baby was found by a man I know.

Her story seemed fantastical at best, given it was 80 degrees here yesterday and she was in a very populated area. Surely someone would have noticed two people in ski masks, even in weird Asheville, the Portland of the east.

Where she threw the baby was a very rural mountainous place. That baby could have been eaten by Bears, Coyotes or even possums and raccoons at her young age.
