The couple who took the baby were arrested for human trafficking.
A Kentucky mother traded her newborn son for a truck, according to the Laurel County Sheriff's Office.
Heather Kaminskey, 30, handed her baby to Jamie and Jeremy Brown in January and then sold the truck for $800 plus some meth, according to police.
Police said they discovered the
scheme when Kaminskey tried sell the vehicle. They arrested the Browns
and charged them with human trafficking. The baby boy appeared to be
well taken care of, investigators said.
Kaminskey, police said, might be in
Florida and they are hoping to obtain warrants for her arrest. She
apparently called neighbors of the Browns on Thursday and told them that
she’s distraught over what happened and that she wants to return to
Kentucky.
