Baby kidnapped from Paineville church nursery
Four month old Mark Allen Heath, son of Mr and Mrs Gregory Heath, was abducted yesterday from the First Church of Christ in Paineville Township while parents attended services. A woman about 25 to 30, 5 ft 2 in, 130 pounds with blond hair and in a red white dress, claimed to be the mother and left in a dark Monte Carlo or Cutlass with the baby. Police noted no ransom contact and questioned whether another incident at nearby United Methodist Church was related. The Heaths’ other children were nearby in the nursery room.
