Abbie Humphries, also known as 'Baby Abbie', captured the attention of the nation in 1994 when she was taken from her hospital cot in Nottingham. It was a shocking and terrifying event that left her family and the community in a state of disbelief and fear. But sadly, after 30 years of life, Abbie has passed away due to a brain tumour diagnosis.
Her husband Karl Sundgren shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, expressing that Abbie was surrounded by loved ones when she passed. He also acknowledged her strength and grace in fighting for over 4 years before finally being able to rest. Abbie's infectious smile will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Abbie's abduction as a three-hour-old baby in July 1994 caused an intense search that lasted 16 days before she was eventually found. The police had received a tip about a former dental nurse named Julie Kelley, who had returned home with a baby boy. Neighbours had become suspicious of Kelley's pregnancy, as she had told them she was expecting a baby girl. Eventually, Kelley pleaded guilty to abducting Abbie and was later diagnosed with a severe personality disorder.
The abduction was not the only tragedy that struck Abbie's family. Her mother, Karen, was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away in 2020, one year before Abbie's own diagnosis. Karen had previously stated that their family had faced a lot of bad luck, but she always chose to focus on the positive to make everyone feel better.
Despite the hardships and challenges Abbie faced in her life, she remained a strong and resilient individual. Her smile and spirit will be remembered by all those who were lucky enough to know her. May she rest in peace, and may her loved ones find comfort in the memories they shared with her.
