Abducted: The Carlina White Story

My name is Joy White... I'm here to see Ann Pettway.

Does she know you're coming?

No.

Park over there... I'll put you through security.

I was on my way to school and my water broke.

We almost didn't make it.

What's your name, honey?

Joy. Joy White.

- And, Joy, how old are you? - She's 16.

And this is your first pregnancy?

Yes!

- Name? - Ann Pettway.

You want to tell me what happened, Ann?

I started having pains, so I came here.

- Is this your first pregnancy? - No!

Is there anybody you want us to call?

- No. No! No! - A family member?

Scalpel.

Push!

- Push, now... come on! - You're almost there!

Scissors...

Forceps...

and suction, please.

Big push!

- I told you it was a girl. - But I was sure!

Your mom owes me a chocolate cake now.

- I always wanted a baby girl. - Yeah?

Don't nobody love a guy like his baby girl.

Isn't she beautiful?

She looks just like you.

She's got your eyes.

What are we gonna call her?

I am not naming her after your mom.

I guess Carl Jr.'s out of the question.

Who says?

Carlina Renae White.

Daddy's little girl.

We love you.

No! I did everything right.

Everything right!

I didn't drink... I didn't smoke!

- Why did this happen again? - The blood work shows

some abnormalities with your hormone levels.

What?! I don't even know what you sayin'!

It is unlikely that you could sustain a full-term pregnancy.

Mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. I don't even believe you.

Stop lying! Stop lying! Nurse!

Stop lying... what you do with my baby?!

Nurse! You need to calm down.

What'd you do with my baby... I'll find her myself!

I'll find her myself! Get some Ativan!

- I want to know where it is! - Hold her down!

What did you do with my baby?!

This is my grandbaby,

Carlina Renae White.

Oh, precious.

Why she's named after her father instead of me, I don't know,

but the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Can we bow our heads?

Heavenly Father, we'd like to thank you

for bringing this healthy little girl into our family.

May she always know how it feels to be loved.

Amen. Amen.

- Amen. - Amen!

What's that Carlina... I think she said, "Let's eat!"

Let's eat.

She's gorgeous.

Welcome home, sweetie pie.

How is she?

She hasn't eaten in days... she just lays there.

We need the bed.

Should we try the psych ward?

Nah, there's no beds there, either.

Miss Pettway...

Your vitals look good.

We can have you out of here this afternoon.

How's that sound?

Have you thought of other alternatives?

You can foster a child, you can adopt a baby...

My wife and I adopted just last year.

Nobody's gonna give me no baby.

Are you ready?

To try on shoes?

No, you know... for the baby.

Because you look like you're about ready to drop.

You're carrying it high... like it's a girl.

Is this your first?

I had one last year.

You won't sleep, but you'll love it.

You'll see.

Now how do those feel?

Ma'am?

I think they're kinda tight“ can I get a size up?

I'll go check.

Good morning, Doctor.

Her history?

The patient's had three miscarriages,

and according to her blood work,

it appears her body is too weak to have a child.

But, like I told her, there's a cure for everything

if you're willing to take matters in your own hands.

Yes, Doctor?

I knew you'd have a solution.

I just took it again... it's 104!

I'm leaving right now.

No, Carl... tell your boss you're leaving now.

Meet me at the hospital?

Okay, bye.

Uh, the children's ward... where is it?

I never should have took her to the park.

It was too soon. It's not your fault.

No, no... maybe I'm not ready to take care of a child.

I'm just... I'm just too tired.

You are a great mother.

It's gonna be fine, right?

Our baby is gonna be fine.

Oh, girl, yeah!

I see this all the time.

Babies bounce back faster than us.

See?

What's your baby's name?

Carlina.

- Your name Carl, right? - Yeah.

That's cute... I like that.

Okay, we're giving her antibiotics now,

and the fever should break by morning.

Did you want to stay the night with her?

I may have to get back to work.

- I'll make a call. - - Okay.

Okay.

You're gonna be okay.

On hold, line two... on hold, line two.

Hey...

Hey. Hey.

- What's your name? - It's Joy.

I just want to tell you I overheard you earlier,

and you're a good mother, Joy. You think so?

- Yeah, girl, I can see it. - Thank you, Miss...

- You know what else I can see? - What's that?

- You tired! - I am.

The baby keeps me up. Oh, she keep you up, right?

The baby keeps me up.

Why don't you go home and rest for a few hours?

I should stay here.

Girl, don't be silly... for what?

All you're gonna be doin' is sittin' round here waitin'.

We got your number... if anything happen, we'll call you.

I don't want to leave her here alone.

Joy, the baby don't cry for you.

You cry for the baby.

I tell you what... I tell you what.

I'll watch her myself.

Okay...

Maybe a quick shower, just...

I'll just go home and pick up a few things.

I got you, I got it... I tell you, I got it.

I gotta get back to work.

Can you run me home on your way back?

Let's go.

I'll be back soon.

Please look out for my baby.

I got you... I got you.

Go on... go. Okay.

To radiology, please.

To radiology.

Oh!

Oh no!

I haven't seen you around before.

- I just started. - That explains it.

The only way to survive the late shift

is by making sure you get plenty of sleep on your day off.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Have a nice night.

Just keep the meter running... I'll be right back.

It's okay!

It's okay!

It's okay.

I got you... I got you now.

I got you.

Hello?

Yes, this is Carlina White's mother.

No, I left her at the hospital.

Wh-What's wrong?

Missing?!

What do you mean she's missing?

What the hell happened?!

Detective Dalton, N.Y.P.D.

Between 2:30 and 3:30 a.m.,

medical personnel, or someone posing as medical personnel,

removed your daughter from the ward.

Will she hurt my baby?

I can't answer that, Miss White.

Security cameras... there's gotta be something on those.

Unfortunately, cameras aren't working today.

Fingerprints!

We can only match them if the perpetrator

has committed a crime in New York.

We believe the kidnapper worked at the hospital

or pretended to work at the hospital,

so we're scouring files. How long is that gonna take?
