\n<\/span><\/p>\nA US woman who raised child-kidnap victim Carlina White, who went on to solve her own abduction, has pleaded not guilty to taking Ms White when she was an infant.<\/p>\n
Ann Pettway was indicted on a charge of kidnapping Ms White, now 23, from hospital in New York City in 1987.<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old surrendered to officials last month in Connecticut.<\/p>\n
Ms Pettway’s lawyers said they were searching for evidence that another person took the infant.<\/p>\n
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has said in court papers that Ms Pettway kidnapped the baby after her efforts at childbearing failed.<\/p>\n
Reunited family<\/span><\/p>\nDNA tests last month confirmed Carlina as the daughter of Joy White and Carl Tyson in a case that has made headline news in the US and internationally.<\/p>\n
Ms White, taken at just 19 days old, has since been reunited with her true mother.<\/p>\n
An arrest warrant had been issued in North Carolina in January for Ms Pettway, as officials believed she had violated a probation requirement.<\/p>\n
FBI agent William Reiner said last month that Ms Pettway was required not to leave North Carolina as part of her probation following a conviction for attempted embezzlement. She is on parole until 2012.<\/p>\n
Ms Pettway has been held without bail since she was arrested last month.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
