POLICE said an eight-year-old girl in Ecuador is believed to be a Panamanian kidnap victim who was taken from her home as a baby in 2003.
Police Colonel Enrique Jacome said Ecuadorean woman Maria del Carmen Medina is suspected of kidnapping the girl when she was 18 months old and registering the child as her own daughter.

He says Medina later moved to Spain and left the girl with her sister.

Panama state attorney Ana Matilde Gomez said police located the girl after receiving an anonymous tip-off from someone in Madrid.

She was found in a suburb of the coastal city of Guayaquil in the care of a neighbour of the sister.

Panama officials were flying to Ecuador to confirm the girl's identity through DNA testing.

What a shocking thing to do. Why would anyone steal another person's child?
