Los Angeles arrest of a carnival dancer on a federal kidnapping charge tied to the abductions of two children and a 1953 case. Barbara Lee Collins, also known as Barbara Lee Grimm, faces arraignment today before a U S commissioner. Officials say a Brock boy found safe after being missing for months and a second child from Live Oak, Florida, were among those abducted. Mrs Collins said she intended to care for the children better than their parents. The Brock boy was taken from Live Oak, Florida, by Collins during a visit to a Jacksonville fair. Mrs Gill, mother of one abducted child, voiced worry and noted her husband is serving a prison term.
