Description

In 2002, an armed stranger snatched Baby Kahu from her stroller and held her for ransom for nine long days.

Wellington lawyer Donna Hall was walking her dog with two nieces and eight-month-old baby Kahu, when a stranger brandishing a gun grabbed the baby and drove off.

The next day the family was sent a ransom note demanding $3 million dollars.

For nine terrifying days the family had no idea where Baby Kahu was or if she was safe.

NZ Herald senior crime and justice reporter, Anna Leask, who also hosts a podcast series A Moment In Crime, recalls the case.
