Atlanta kidnapping case echoes Alabama abduction from years past

Police say Lakesha Brown, the suspect in the Atlanta kidnapping of two young children, previously faced a nearly identical allegation in Alabama in 2021: she befriended the mother of a 4‑day‑old infant in Fairfield, the child disappeared, Brown was charged with first‑degree kidnapping, and a $100,000 bond was set. Authorities note an outstanding warrant from that Alabama case as they investigate the Atlanta incident involving a 4‑year‑old and an 11‑month‑old.
