They Found the Real Tanya Diane Brown...see it wasn't me!

For those of you that know the story of that frightning night when 12 marshals came to my door at midnight, well here's the end of the story. You can see my full story on my December 2007 post.

Tanya Diane Brown
Capture #975, Feb 13, 2008
AMW Capture #975
The End Of The Line For Tanya Diane Brown
On Dec. 1, 2007, AMW aired the story of a fugitive mom, Tanya Diane Brown, who police say kidnapped her five kids and went on the run in March 2005. That very night, AMW hotline operators got a tip that would eventually bring Brown to justice.

Authorities tell AMW that thanks to one of our tipsters, they discovered that Tanya Diane Brown was living in a mountainside community near the central Californian town of Tehachapi. Cops learned that she had been living there since just after she hid out with her children at a San Ysidro, Calif. motel in 2005.

Police say that Tanya Diane Brown settled in this new community and even started a new life with a new common law husband. Cops say the couple had a child together and were expecting another. But Tanya's life on the lam wouldn't last.

Local authorities did surveillance on the area and took photos of the woman and children they believed to be Tanya and her five kids. When Tanya's estranged husband, Charles, saw the pictures, he knew that cops had the right woman.

On Feb. 13, 2008, AMW caught up with Tanya's common law husband and he was arrested near the home they shared. Tanya was brought into police custody without incident shortly thereafter. Cops say that all of Tanya's children are in Child Protective Services.

My Sweet Jaiden Turns Nine

George just had to get a picture with party pony the minute we got home from the hospital. He was so excited to have a little girl. The first ten weeks of Jaiden's life she spent most of it in the arms of her daddy. George held her every day all day long and would rock her in the rocking chair. He would be so proud of her and I know he would show her off to everyone.

I find it hard to believe that nine years have gone by since I held my precious baby girl in my arms. What an angel! Jaiden has brought so much joy in my life. I remember as a newborn she would go with me and Marshall to his "music together" class where the children sang and played different instuments. All the mothers would comment on how Jaiden would move her little foot to beat to the music. She was right on the beat!
