Go. Wed been in the mall all day. He was sleepy. And when he gets emotional i was trying to comfort him and when i turned my back just for a second i didnt even have a chance to wipe the food off his face and my son was gone. Reporter there is so much more to this conversation that were going to bring you, the message she has to you the public, what she learned from this incident. Well have all of that coming up on nbc 10 news at 5 and 6. Reporting live, aundrea clinethomas. Have to ask you what was it like to hear that mom tell her story that gripped the area for under 24 hours now . Reporter it was something more relatable than what you would have thought being out at the mall yesterday because everybody was asking how this could happen. But after she tells the story she was being a prudent mom trying to tend to her boy you could see that it could happen to anyone. Thanks so much. We appreciate it. Now we turn to the suspect, 32yearold cherry amoore who wore a red hooded sweatshirt to face kidnapping charges. Police say she went to the king of prussia mall where she met the family she would later terrorize. According to investigators the suspect snatched the baby in the food court and left by the bone fish grill. She drove home to her acht where police would later find her and the child. Nbc 10s Deanna Durante joins us now with more on that suspect and how she got close to her alleged victim. Deanna. Reporter well, amoore told police according to court papers she did not go to the mall to steal a baby. When she walked into the courtroom here she glanced over, saw her mother and relatives and began to sob and said im sorry. She says nothing to dozens of reporters and shows little emotion as she is shackled and chained but police say cherry amoore told them plenty. When they discovered the 7 week old in her apartment. She has told our investigators that she did not go to the mall with the intention to steal a baby. She also told investigators that she gave birth to a baby boy on february 11th which died a few hours later. We have not been able to confirm any of that story. A public defender answered questions outside of court on her behalf. She had on line a baby registry for december. Was she pregnant . Cant answer that right now. We found two separate baby registries on line with amoores name and a december due date. Those appear to be for a baby boy. Police began searching, a woman and her family shopping, say they were befriended by a woman they didnt know, who went with them to the food court, police say amoore was that woman who wanted to hold the baby. At first that request was refused by the mom, but then amoore was allowed to try to calm the child. When the mother began tending to another child amoore grabbed the baby and took off from the mall. Video was released of amoore leaving. Once on the air and on line tips came in leading them to amoore and the baby nearly six hours after the abduction. Police do say that this is an active investigation, when we asked about that pregnancy claim they say they are investigating all parts of this case but they dont want people to lose sight of the fact that the mall security, the video, it got out quickly, tips came in and the baby is back home safe with his mother. Reporting live in king of prussia, Deanna Durante, nbc 10 news. Cherie amoores mother is well known to many in the area, renee amoore is the deputy chair of the Republican Party in pennsylvania. And in fact, nbc 10 has interviewed renee amoore many times in the past. She was in the courtroom to support her daughter. Brandon hudson has more on that part of the story. Reporter rosemary and jim, what makes this case even more interesting is that the suspect is from a wellconnected well known family in philadelphia politics. We waited outside this court to talk to the suspects mom but this time she did not want to see our nbc 10 camera. Before Police Brought amoore in for a Court Hearing we tried talking to her mom renee about kidnapping charges against her daughter. Renee didnt say anything but the family pastor did. Just support her and keep her in prayer and also to keep the other family in prayer. The amoores pastor said his heart goes out to the babys family. Were keeping everything in prayer.
