A 5-year-old girl has passed away after she was kidnapped by her mother and taken on an intense police chase in Florida. According to police via Action News Jax, on Thursday night the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a kidnapping in progress. Pamela Cabrera, a 32-year-old with a history of mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, had kidnapped her daughter Vanity, whom she had not had custody of in two years.
While police were on the way to the scene, an officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle stopped at a traffic light. They say they tried to pull her over, but the woman sped off onto the I-95, resulting in a 30-mile police chase reaching 90 MPH.
