It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: You turn your back for a second, and your child is gone, snatched up by someone with ill-intent that you are powerless to stop. That’s what happened to Oklahoma mom Alice Keating in an area Walmart. She was in the store shopping with her two daughters, ages 12 and 2, when the incident occurred in 2013.
She turned away, and in a flash, her youngest, Zoey, was snatched out of the shopping cart by Sammie Wallace, a felon with a history of erratic and violent behavior. Like the woman who kidnapped this day-old baby from a hospital, he probably also suffered from mental illness. He held the little girl at knifepoint, whispering to Keating, "Hey little mama, you see this knife?" before beating a rapid retreat out of the store.
Fortunately, his escape route was blocked by a brave shopper. Thinking quickly, like this woman who rescued a baby from a hot car, a local pastor threw his own shopping cart in Wallace’s path. The police arrived while he was temporarily hemmed in and began negotiating little Zoey’s release.
Wallace only became more emotional, and finally, one bold police officer was forced to throw himself in the path of danger in order to rescue the little girl.
