Istanbul Nightclub Terror Suspect Caught
SCIUTTO: "BREAKING NEWS" now here on THE LEAD. After a two-week manhunt, police in Istanbul have arrested the suspected terrorist who killed dozens of people at a packed nightclub on New Year's Eve -- that, according to Turkish media. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 39 people, injured some 70 more, including an American who was rushed out on a stretcher into an ambulance. You're seeing him there. He said that he was shot in the hip and played dead, fearing that the gunman might finish the job. And now, back here in the U.S. today, we are learning how a young woman started to figure out that she was kidnapped at birth, some 18 years ago. This as the woman she always thought was her mother, sits in a South Carolina jail, waiting to be taken back to where it all started in Jacksonville, Florida. The Sheriff there tells CNN the big break came when Kamiyah Mobley started applying for jobs. CNN'S Polo Sandoval joins me now. So Polo, this young woman finding herself torn between her newly discovered biological parents, but also the only family she's ever known.</s>POLO SANDOVAL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, absolutely Jim. This has been an emotional weekend for this young woman. She faces a slew of very difficult questions, some of which include exactly how will she get to know this new family and where will she live, and then -- well, what actual name will she use next?</s>CRAIG AIKEN, KAMIYAH MOBLEY'S BIOLOGICAL FATHER: First meeting was beautiful. It was wonderful. It couldn't went no better.</s>SANDOVAL: 18-year-old Kamiyah Mobley finally reunited with the birth parents. Investigators say she was stolen from in 1998.</s>AIKEN: We were trying to process it, man. 18 years. You know, it's going to be hard to make that up, know what I'm saying? I can't -- I can't -- like I said, I just can't describe it.</s>SANDOVAL: Overjoyed that their child is alive and well after years of uncertainty. But 18 years after Mobley's alleged kidnapping from one mother --</s>SHANARA MOBLEY, KAMIYAH MOBLEY'S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER: That would be -- that would be the happiest thing in the world to me right now is to hold my baby.</s>SANDOVAL: The teen could now be separated from the only mother she's ever known, her alleged abductor.</s>MELISSA NELSON, FLORIDA STATE ATTORNEY: Kidnapping is a first-degree felony punishable by up to life. Interference with custody is a third degree felony with a maximum of five years.</s>SANDOVAL: Investigator say Gloria Williams posed as a nurse and stole the hours-old infant from this Florida hospital before raising her as her own in South Carolina.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She took the baby out of the room and disappeared.</s>MELISSA HIERS, FRIEND OF GLORIA WILLIAMS: They were always happy, always together. Never anything -- I mean, negative, at all from either one of them.</s>SANDOVAL: According to the Sheriff, Mobley only just began to discover her complicated past as she recently started applying for jobs.</s>MIKE WILLIAMS, JACKSONVILLE SHERIFF: She had fraudulent identification. So her Social Security card and her Birth Certificate were both, you know, fraudulent. And that began to raise questions.</s>SANDOVAL: Now, apart from the daughter she raised into adulthood, Williams is awaiting extradition to Florida on kidnapping charges.</s>WILLIAMS: As far as motive, I mean, that's something that we're still going to have to get into. This is still really in the early stages of this investigation. We have lots of questions left to be answered.</s>SANDOVAL: Well, the Jacksonville Sheriff expects that that extradition will likely happen sometime this week. She faces life in prison if convicted. Legal experts are going to be very closely watching the prosecution of Williams. As the Criminal Defense Attorney that I spoke to tells me that this could be a textbook case of jury nullification, which would allow a jury to acquit even if the evidence clearly shows guilt. Defense attorneys could argue that Williams gave this young woman a normal childhood after the alleged kidnapping, Jim. So this will be obviously an interesting to watch -- an interesting case to watch if it makes its way to trial.</s>SCIUTTO: No question. Remarkable argument there. Polo Sandoval, thanks very much. More than 30 days on the run. The suspected cop killer, Markeith Loyd, is still at large after allegedly murdering his pregnant ex- girlfriend as well as an Orlando Police officer. Investigators say that 17-year-old Orlando Police veteran, Debra Clayton, was killed as she tried to apprehend Loyd. Over the weekend, Clayton was laid to rest in an emotional funeral service where she received the final honor from the Orlando Police Department, a promotion to Lieutenant. Another funeral service was held yesterday for fallen Orange County Deputy First Class Norman Lewis, he was killed in a traffic accident while helping search for Clayton's killer as well. $100,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to Loyd's arrest. Just four days left until the inauguration, and there's still a lot of work to do. We'll talk to a member of the Trump transition team, that's right after this.
