A newborn girl abducted from a hospital 18 years ago by a woman posing as a nurse has been found alive.
Kamiyah Mobley was taken from her mother at a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1998.
Police say in the 18 years since, they have followed up more than 2,500 leads and tips relating to the case.
Two new leads last year from the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children led cold-case detectives to Walterboro in South Carolina, where Kamiyah was eventually found.
"Please remember she was abducted as a newborn and she's going to need time and assistance to process all of this and we are respecting her privacy and we ask that you do the same.
"She appears to be a normal 18-year-old woman. She's taking it was well as you can imagine. She has a lot to process."
Police say Gloria Williams, aged 51, has been charged with kidnapping and interference in custody. She will appear in court in Jacksonville.
Sheriff Williams said he has spoken with Kamiyah's biological family.
