Perfect life shattered by kidnapping charge in Williamson
In Williamson Kentucky Nancy Matthews recounts a month of happiness with her granddaughter Sheila Matthews who later faced a federal kidnapping charge for allegedly abducting 16 month old Jasmine Anderson from Chicago on Christmas Eve. Jasmine was later found unharmed and returned to her mother Marcella Anderson. Sheila appeared before a federal magistrate in Charleston waiving her right to Chicago for initial appearance. Police say Teddy Harris aided the cover story. Nancy urges help over punishment and notes Sheila’s past guilty plea in a 1988 Washington kidnapping case.
