Mom: 'They kidnapped my newborn from Hospital!' Couple fake kidnap and death to foil hit-man, pregnant mom begs for help

A Texas man plotted to have his ex-girlfriend and his new girlfriend's husband kidnapped and killed, but Leon Jacob chose a "hit man" who was an undercover cop. Instead, police staged the pretend kidnapping of Meghan Verikas and murder of Mack McDaniel in a sting. Nancy Grace looks at the case with psycho analyst Dr. Bethany Marshall and lawyer Jason Oshins. Nancy also questions how police and hospital officials handled a custody dispute over a Miami newborn. They allowed Miccosukee Tribe rep to take the infant from her mom soon after birth based on a questionable warrant issued by a tribal court. Lawyer & psychologist, Dr. Brian Russell, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, and reporter Paul Chamber join the discussion. They also hear the plea of a pregnant widow for help in finding whoever dropped a boulder on her car, killing her husband.
