Marlene Santana was three days old when she was taken at gunpoint from Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn on October 21, 1985. Her mother, Francisca Santana, had been visited in the hospital by a woman who admired the infant during visiting hours. As Francisca left with Marlene, the woman approached, threatened her with a gun and demanded the child. They walked several blocks before the abductor removed Marlene at a junkyard and fled in a white Chevrolet Malibu driven by an accomplice.

Marlene had a distinctive foot deformity that made her feet appear C-shaped. The abductor was described as a woman in her mid-20s, possibly Caucasian or Hispanic, with reddish blonde hair that may have been dyed or a wig. Neither Marlene nor the woman who took her has been found. The family now lives in the Dominican Republic and continues to hope for answers.

Did anyone who lived or worked near Brookdale Hospital or the junkyard in October 1985 see a white Chevrolet Malibu or a woman matching that description?
