UNREAL STORY Updated: 08:48 AM EST Girl Thought to Have Died Found Alive By JOANN LOVIGLIO, AP PHILADELPHIA (March 2) - A 10-day-old girl thought to have died in a 1997 fire was actually kidnapped by a woman who set the blaze to cover her tracks, police said Monday. The biological mother contacted authorities after seeing the now 6-year-old at a birthday party and recognizing the child as her own. Delimar Vera was thought to have perished in the 1997 blaze in her family's home, consumed by the heat and flames of a fast-moving fire blamed on an extension cord for a space heater. No body was ever found. In January, the child's mother spotted a little girl at a birthday party and was certain she was her daughter, police Capt. John Darby said. A subsequent investigation prompted DNA tests that confirmed the mother's suspicion, police said. After the DNA confirmation, the child's mother "didn't know whether to cry, to yell or to scream," Officer Manuel Gonzales said. "She just stood in shock. She was just in total shock." Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Carolyn Correa, 41, of Willingboro, N.J., on charges of arson, kidnapping and conspiracy. She remained at large Monday; a telephone listing for her could not be found. "This child, now 6 years old, who has been raised by Carolyn Correa as her own, is not her own," Darby said. The girl's mother, Luz Cuevas, told WPHL-TV she recognized the child from a dimple on her face. "I said to my sister, `Look, she's my daughter,"' Cuevas said. It was unclear what brought the child and her biological mother to the same party. State Rep. Angel Cruz, who helped the woman contact and work with police after she spotted the little girl, credited "motherly instinct" for connecting mother and child. Ever since the blaze, the mother held on to the belief her child was somehow alive - partly because it didn't make sense a window in the infant's room was found to have been open even though it was the middle of December, Cruz said. The little girl was placed in the custody of New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services. It was not immediately clear when she would be reunited with her biological mother. 03/01/04 23:14 EST Copyright 2004 The Associated Press.

Bodies of Missing Family Found Cousin Charged With Capital Murder; Held Without Bail By SHELIA HARDWELL BYRD, AP Click Here Broadband Only YAZOO CITY, Miss. (March 2) - More than two weeks after a family of three vanished on Valentine's Day, authorities found their bodies in a wooded area and charged the father's cousin with capital murder. Earnest Lee Hargon, a 43-year-old truck driver, was arrested on unrelated drug charges Friday, and authorities rushed to the search area in southern Mississippi on Monday morning. AP The Hargon family: Michael, 27; Rebecca, 29; and son James Patrick, 4 Teams of law officers using portable lights searched through scattered rain and into the evening hours. What they found there ended an intense search that began Feb. 14 when Michael Hargon, 27, his 29-year-old wife Rebecca and their 4-year-old son, James Patrick, went missing. District Attorney James Powell told The Associated Press late Monday that the bodies had been identified. An autopsy was scheduled for late Monday night or Tuesday. ''It's awful. You deal with bad stuff all the time but rarely where the whole family was killed,'' Powell said. Bill Hirtz, Rebecca Hargon's father, said the discovery gave him a measure of solace. ''At least I know where they were at,'' he said Monday night by telephone. In a Yazoo County courthouse, while authorities were still searching for the bodies about 100 miles away, Earnest Lee Hargon - a cousin of Michael Hargon - heard the three capital murder charges read and was ordered held without bond. Friends and relatives of the family, many visibly shaken, attended the brief court appearance. Blood and spent bullet casings were discovered at the family's home in Yazoo County after their disappearance. Investigators have not found a .22-caliber weapon that apparently was fired in the house. Prosecutor James Powell said the slayings occurred during the kidnapping of one or more of Michael Hargon's family. He said Hargon had acted alone. ''We've been saying all along since we've anticipated filing these charges that our case is rock solid,'' said Warren Strain, spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Investigators have been checking a piece of land that Michael Hargon recently inherited from his uncle, Charles Hargon, to determine if it is linked to the disappearance, said Jennifer Hargon, Michael's sister. Earnest Hargon, Charles Hargon's adopted son, was not included in the will, she said. Strain said the property is a consideration in the case, but not necessarily a motive. Talk About It · Post Messages ''It could be a potential motive, but it's not the only one,'' Strain said. Family members at the hearing declined to discuss the deaths. Louis Fischer, Michael Hargon's first cousin, screamed a profanity at Hargon after being turned away from the crowded courtroom. ''It's been a long, emotional 17 or 18 days and I let my emotions get the better of me,'' Fischer said later. ''I promised my aunt (Michael Hargon's mother) that I wouldn't do that.''' Minutes before lawmen were to bring Hargon into the courtroom Monday, Strain announced a delay due to ''profound new developments'' in the county where the search is being conducted. State troopers and deputies closed entrances to the land while helicopters and state Crime Lab trucks moved in to assist in the ground search. The property consists mostly of pine woods. Intense searches of Hargon's home and 160 acres around it were carried out over the weekend by teams using horses, off-road vehicles, a helicopter and tracking dogs. Families in the area said the land being searched was owned by Tony Moran, whose family lives about a mile from the property. Family members at the Moran home would not comment on the search. The Moran property is several miles way from Earnest Hargon's home near Taylorsville. 03-02-04 0425EST Copyright 2004 The Associated Press.
