Guilty plea in baby's kidnapping

A woman who disguised herself as a hospital worker in order to take a 3-day-old baby from its mother has pleaded guilty to second-degree felony child kidnapping.

Elizabeth Marie Alarid, 39, of Salt Lake City, originally faced a first-degree kidnapping charge, but agreed to a plea deal for the lesser count. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 22.

Alarid told police she took the baby from LDS Hospital because she lost her own fetus two months earlier.

Wearing hospital scrubs and a fake hospital badge, Alarid told the boy's mother, Tina Archuleta, she was taking her baby to be circumcised. Alarid left the hospital with the baby, but was found shortly after in a nearby supermarket. The baby was unharmed.
