BIOGRAPHY OF CARLINA WHITE

Carlina White is an American who solved her own kidnapping case and reunited with her biological parents 23 years ago.

She had been abducted as a child from Harlem Hospital Center in New York. The case represents the longest known gap in a non-parental kidnapping where the victim was reunited with family in the United States. For years, Carlina lived with a woman she believed to be her mother, who was actually her captor. She was portrayed by Keke Palmer in the film Lifetime Abducted: The Carlina White Story.

CARLINA WHITE AGE

Carlina Renae White, also known as Nejdra “Netty” Nance, is an American who has solved her own kidnapping case. She was born on July 15, 1987 in Harlem, New York, United States. Carlina White turns 32 in 2019.

DAUGHTER OF CARLINA WHITE | SAMANI WHITE | AGE OF CARLINA WHITE’S DAUGHTER

Carlina Whites daughter is Samani White. In 2005, when White was pregnant with her daughter, she asked Pettway to get her birth certificate so she could get health insurance. Pettway acquired a fake Connecticut birth certificate, which White attempted to use as proof of identity so she could obtain health insurance, but officials told her the document had been forged.

At 23, she turned to sites such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, where she discovered that images of kidnapped Carlina resembled child photos of herself as Nejdra. and those of his daughter, Samani.

ABDUCTION OF CARLINA WHITE

Carlina was 19 days old when her parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, took her to the hospital with a fever of 104°F (40.0°C) on August 4, 1987. Carlina swallowed fluid during childbirth and had an infection. A woman said to have been dressed as a nurse had comforted the parents at the hospital, but was not a hospital employee. The kidnapper had been seen around the hospital for three weeks prior to the kidnapping.

The baby disappeared early in the morning, around 2 a.m., when shifts changed. The hospital’s video surveillance at the time was not working. They had no way of knowing what the woman in white looked like except for the description given by Joy White and Carl Tyson. The baby was receiving intravenous antibiotics when, between 2:30 a.m. and 3:55 a.m., someone pulled out the IV line and removed it.

A guard said a woman matching the suspect’s description left the hospital at 3:30 a.m. and no baby was visible, although the baby could have been hidden in the woman’s lab coat.

It was the first case of infant abduction from a New York hospital. A $10,000 reward was offered by New York City in 1987 for Carlina’s return. The flyers with the baby’s picture were distributed nationwide, but it was not possible to locate her. Her parents sued the hospital for $100 million in 1989 and won a $750,000 settlement in 1993. Carlina’s parents separated the year after the kidnapping and remarried.

CARLINA WHITE LIFE AS NEJDRA NANCE

Carlina White was raised as Nejdra “Netty” Nance by Annugetta “Ann” Pettway in Bridgeport, Connecticut, just 45 miles from where her parents had lived. She attended Thomas Hooker School and graduated from Warren Harding High School in Bridgeport. Pettway and White then moved to Atlanta, Georgia. During her teenage years, White grew suspicious that Pettway was not her biological mother, due to her failure to provide a birth certificate.

When White was pregnant with her daughter in 2005, she asked Pettway to get her birth certificate so she could get health insurance. Pettway acquired a fake Connecticut birth certificate, which White attempted to use as proof of identity so she could obtain health insurance, but officials told her the document had been forged.

In a state of shock later that evening, White confronted Pettway, who broke down and confessed that she was not White’s birth mother. It was quite surprising to reveal this to White as she had begun to notice that she didn’t share any physical traits with Pettway. The kidnapper lied and told White that she had been abandoned by a drug addict.

White turned to sites such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at age 23, where she discovered that images of kidnapped Carlina resembled infant images of herself as Nejdra and those of his daughter, Samani. White contacted the center’s hotline and was able to contact his birth family. A DNA test confirmed in January 2011 that she was in fact the missing Carlina White.

CARLINA BLANC INVESTIGATIONS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 1987, New York City Police Department detectives interviewed a woman in Baltimore, whom witnesses had identified as having been seen in the hospital, with no apparent result.

When it was confirmed that Nejdra Nance was really Carlina White, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began a search for Ann Pettway. The statute of limitations for state kidnapping law has expired in New York, but there is no statute of limitations for federal kidnapping law. They issued an arrest warrant for Ann Pettway was issued by the North Carolina Department of Correction on January 21, 2011, for violating her probation of an attempted embezzlement conviction.

White said, “I just hope the officials can get her into their hands, so we can just hear her side of the story now.” On the morning of January 23, 2011, Pettway transformed into the FBI office in Bridgeport. She had driven from North Carolina to Connecticut to get her biological son taken care of. Pettway told federal investigators she abducted White after suffering multiple miscarriages due to stress over whether “she could ever be a parent.”

Pettway did not plead during her arraignment in the United States District Court for Southern New York in Manhattan, where she faces between 20 years and life in prison for kidnapping. A federal grand jury indicted Pettway on the kidnapping charge on February 17, 2011.

Pettway pleaded guilty on February 10, 2012 to a federal kidnapping charge. Prosecutors agreed to recommend to the judge a prison sentence of 10 to 12½ years as part of a plea bargain. Judge P. Kevin Castel sentenced Pettway, then 50, to 12 years in prison on July 30, 2012.

CARLINA WHITE CONSEQUENCES

After finding her birth parents, Carlina White’s attorney advised her to ask them about the hospital’s cash settlement. Both Joy White and Carl Tyson confirmed that most of that money was spent in the years leading up to their reunion. Additionally, a trust fund that had been created could only be obtained if Carlina was found before she turned 21. The mother later said there was an argument over money.

Robert Baum, the public defender, said he met Carlina White during preparations for Ann Pettway’s trial and that White agreed to testify on Pettway’s behalf in May 2011. White became estranged from her biological parents in following July. However, several months later, she contacted both of her birth parents individually, having had a bit more time to process the situation; she later publicly stated that the issue of settlement funds was “just a misunderstanding.”

Although “Carlina White” is her legal name, as it appears on official documents, she says she will continue to go by “Netty” in public, because technically that was neither the name her biological parents gave her, nor was the name given to her by the woman who raised her, but rather “the name I gave myself”.

Carlina White’s birth mother fears she won’t be closer to her abducted daughter even after being reunited

Joy White: Birth mother shares her pain

NEW YORK — The elevator doors open on the sixth floor of a Bronx apartment building, revealing a long, thin banner hanging on the opposite wall.

The banner is framed by identical photographs of Nejdra Nance, a 2005 Harding High School graduate, in a sleeveless t-shirt, her young daughter by her side.

“Welcome home Carlina Renae and Samani,” reads the banner.

But is this his house? And will Nance embrace her true identity and biological family? Or is she Carlina White in name only – Nejdra Nance, the girl shaved by Ann Pettway in Bridgeport.

DNA testing confirmed she was Carlina White, and that allowed the woman living in the Bronx apartment a dozen yards down the hall to hang that banner and others. That woman is Joy White, who gave birth to Carlina Renae White in July 1987, endured the baby’s abduction from Harlem Hospital 19 days later and was reunited with Carlina Renae White in New York last month.

Appearing on NBC’s ‘Today Show’ on Tuesday morning, Joy White described her fears of losing Carlina Renae White again. Nejdra Nance has since returned home to Georgia, started responding to the nickname “Netty” again, and started asking Joy White about legal money and rewards.

“It’s so hard to explain,” White said, tears flowing. “I am her mother and it hurts not to have a relationship with her. It really hurts. And I want my daughter back.

COMPLICATED FROM THE START

The longest reunification of a kidnapped child in modern American history was never going to be easy.

“I don’t care how long it’s been,” said John Rabun, director of operations for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which helped connect family members. “If you’re a parent, you know it’s been 23 years. But when your child is returned to you, you still expect to get it back.

This, of course, was not going to happen. What’s more complicated is that Carlina’s closest confidante was – and still is – Cassandra Johnson, the sister of alleged kidnapper Ann Pettway.

A former Bridgeport resident, Johnson, 43, helped Carlina phone NCMEC in December, which helped unravel the biological mystery.

Carlina White flew to New York on Jan. 15, Joy White said Monday, and stayed with her birth family for four days.

“I was on a big part of a high,” White said. “You couldn’t tell me anything else. I was floating in the air. I was so happy with the family.

Then Carlina White flew to Atlanta, where she lives in suburban Snellville with her daughter, Samani, not far from Johnson. When Carlina returned to New York on Jan. 19 — reportedly paid for by the New York Post — her demeanor was different, Joy White said Monday.

“I think it has a lot to do with the Pettway family,” White said. “She has been with them for 23 years. It’s his family. And I think that might be a lot of pressure on her now, given that she’s found her mother…and, uh, it really hurts. It is a moving and overwhelming situation. ‘

Carlina White has not returned to New York since. This is something that Rabun and NCMEC have tried to prepare parents for.

“She’s an adult,” Rabun recalls telling Carl Tyson, the biological father. “She has her own family. His mother has her own family. His father has his own family.

“I said, ‘Remember: she has her own personality now,'” Rabun said. ‘He’s his own person. Reach out to her, God loves you but don’t smother her. You can over parent without even realizing it. »

MORE MONEY

On the ‘Today Show,’ Joy White was asked about the $750,000 settlement she and Tyson received as part of a settlement with Harlem Hospital in the early ’90s. The birth parents each took about $163,000 home and put the remaining $424,000 in a trust fund for Carlina – should she be found at age 21.

In July 2009, Carlina turned 22. What happened to his trust fund?

“He’s gone,” White said. “We both had to live. We put that money for her ourselves. And at the time, things were really difficult for me in terms of a life situation and stuff like that. And I have two other children, a son and a daughter, and I had to take care of myself. I had to live.

Nance also reportedly asked about the $10,000 return reward – and refused to give media interviews unless she was paid, said Meredith Vieira, a presenter on the Today show. today. The statement drew nods from White.

When asked on the show if she was mad at Nance for this, Joy White said yes.

“I’m disappointed because it was a miracle that happened,” she said. “It’s breathtaking; it is breathtaking. I just wanted to get this out, that we found our daughter. Were happy; we got together. I wanted to share this with the world. It really hurts me that it’s about money.

“And that’s what kids are,” she added. ‘This is understandable.’ great expectations

The Bronx building’s elevator shuttles downstairs. The journey is slow and disorienting. There is no signal indicating which floor you are on, or even if you are making progress. Eventually, the doors open, spilling out into a wide hall.

Here there is another banner. It is framed by two photographs of Joy White, Carl Tyson and their biological daughter, Carlina, reunited after 23 years. “Reunited and it feels good,” says the banner.

Right next to the door, there are several papers taped to a window. A few announce news from the apartment. Then there is a Santa Claus, superimposed on a green wreath, which bears the words: “Ho Ho Ho”.

A third banner hangs above. Joy White squeezes her 23-year-old biological daughter’s cheeks to one side and they both smile. The other end has a photo of Carlina White, or possibly Nejdra Nance, all by herself. In between, it reads: ‘Back together at last.’

CARLINA WHITE IYANLA

Iyanla Tried To Fix Abducted Teen Kamiyah Mobley’s Life And It Happened

Iyanla returned his beloved ones and one person who was not there to fix his life was Kamiyah Mobley. Ms Vanzant tried to help the 19-year-old, who made national news after discovering that a woman posing as a hospital worker had abducted the child from a hospital in Jacksonville, FL and raised her as his own.

Stuck with the reality of her new life and torn between loving the woman she is known as mom and trying to bond with her biological family who have suffered for nearly two decades, things came to an explosive end after Kamiyah exploded on Iyanla and her crew following a misunderstanding on a mission given by Iyanla. It was an uncomfortable episode to watch. Kamiyah often appeared disinterested, defensive, and rarely even making eye contact. Let’s take a look at 3 of the revelations that unfolded during the Season 5 premiere of Iyanla Fix My Life!

CARLINA WHITE NOW 2019

Abducted baby…alive and well 23 years later

Too often, the stories we hear about missing children end in tragedy. But it’s the happy endings that Jess Kimball focuses on.
As the author of the Jess Kimball thriller series, I keep myself informed and motivated by the cases of children found alive.

In 1998, Kamiyah was kidnapped in Florida, just eight hours after she was born. Eighteen years later, the true crime case has been solved by Kamiyah herself. Today I’m going to look at the Carlina White case, which has many striking similarities. These two cases can teach Jess a thing or two about hope.

Just three weeks after her birth, Carlina White developed a high fever. Her concerned parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, brought Carlina to Harlem Hospital in New York City where they left her overnight. During a shift change, a woman dressed as a nurse kidnapped little Carlina. Unfortunately, the hospital surveillance cameras were out of order that night and did not identify Carlina’s kidnapper.

For the next twenty-three years, Carlina’s parents continued to search for their daughter. Meanwhile, Carlina’s lovely Ann Pettway had renamed her Nejdra Nance. Carlina grew up in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Ann eventually gave birth to a son. As she got older, Carlina began to wonder why she didn’t look like the rest of her family. After becoming pregnant, her suspicions grew when the woman she called her mother was unable to provide her with a copy of her birth certificate.

In 2010, Carlina was browsing the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s website and came across a picture that looked like herself as a baby. A DNA test confirmed that Ann Pettway was not his biological mother and that his true identity was Carlina White. While the discovery ended the harrowing search for Carlina’s biological parents, it was the start of a puzzling journey for Carlina.

While Carlina’s biological parents strongly pressured Ann Pettway to serve a twenty-year sentence, Carlina expressed mixed emotions and a desire to maintain a relationship with the family that raised her. In 2012, Ann Pettway pleaded guilty to kidnapping Carlina and was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
