I am not sure if any of you are up on this story. Its resurface has been big news here in Tampa, as the child disappeared from here.
Here's a link with the current developments: Baby Sabrina (http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Central/05/02/missing.girl/index.html)
Do you think it's her? At the time of the original story, there was implication that the parents either killed her or sold her. What do you think?

These are some strange cases - young'uns popping up everywhere. It doesn't sound as though Texas authorities tried very hard to find out who this girl was, in the first place.

I suppose it's possible - somebody stole her, and then got cold feet when it was time to start thinking about registering her for school, etc.. So many kids disappear, and I imagine there is a lot of wishful thinking as far as any resemblance is concerned. It's good that there's now such a thing as DNA fingerprinting - that was an incredible scientific breakthrough. I was watching a rerun of "Medical Detectives" the other night, where they covered two cases solved/proven because of pet DNA, one involving a cat in Canada, the other a dog in the U.S..

Yes, I remember this story. I would like to think that this child is Sabrina. The alternative to kidnapping is too terrible to think about.

Well, the parents were suspect for a very long time, and I am not so sure of their innocence. Now the story is saying that it is doubtful the DNA will be a match.
