Biological mother accused of kidnapping adopted girl, taking her to N.C.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A kidnapped baby has been found unharmed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, after being abducted from her adopted home in Mississippi.

Authorities say two women and an armed men stormed the home wearing masks and took the infant. One of the women, say officials, had given up the baby for adoption.

Investigators plan to file kidnapping charges against the child’s biological mother, Jamie Kiefer, and related charges against the child’s biological aunt, Rikki Swann.

An FBI spokesman says authorities are seeking a man who had a gun during the invasion and a third woman who raided the northern Mississippi home. The spokesman says Swann did not directly take part in the kidnapping.

Investigators believe the three took Madison Erickson at gunpoint and tied up her adoptive mother at the rural home in Itawamba County about 200 miles north of Jackson.
