Today Oprah Winfrey’s show was all about missing children and the hopes to find them. One of the main stories was about Sabrina Aisenberg’s abduction when she was only 5 months old. Sabrina was abducted from her crib back on November 24, 1998 in her Florida home. Parents, Marlene and husband Steve were automatic suspects in the disappearance of their child. What’s not right in this situation is how the media over exaggerates or looks for a story to write. Apparently back when the abduction occurred that Steve was found smiling with investigators and Marlene was not as hurt as a mother should be in the medias eyes. That’s just wrong! Everyone handles situations differently and the cameras don’t show how she is behind the scenes. That’s just not right how the police and media made that family feel like in this very tough moment in their lives.

Here’s a photo of Sabrina Aisenberg at 5 months old and what she may look like at 12 years old.

 
Sabrina Aisenberg would be 12 years old today and yet the police still consider Steve and Marlene Aisenbergs suspects in the case. Police did say as well, it’s an on going case and this is not a cold case. Think of it, how could a new parents do anything to their new baby? They already had a 4 year old daughter and an 8 year old son at the time the abduction happened. They were not first time parents! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know what happened here. I believe that Sabrina was taken by a woman who could not have kids or recently lost one. If you think of it, its the perfect crime as the baby would not know the difference as they can not speak at this age. Years would go on and the child would not know anything different. Her abductors would be her parents in her eyes. What’s unfortunate is how Steve and Marlene are still considered suspects after so long. I liked the comment that Steve made, he said ” The police were looking for a body rather then a person.” Great point! If more time would have been put out in around the city looking at newborns at malls, recent mothers in around the Aisenbergs home who may have lost a child etc.. they may have found her. The first 24 hours in a missing child case is crucial and seems like the police were too busy looking for a body in rivers etc.. rather then patrolling the neighbourhood for young babies.

I strongly think that Sabrina Aisenberg is still alive today! To me it sounds like a mother wanting a child so bad that she kidnaps a baby girl. I find that young babies being abducted have a much better chance at a positive outcome then older kids being kidnapped. I do look forward and pray that the Aisenbergs family will some day reunite with their missing child. If anyone is gonna be able to do it, it’s Oprah and John Walsh who can. You may have seen earlier shows last year when Oprah and John Walsh teamed up to find some of today’s Most Wanted Criminals and the success was overwhelming. I hope that Oprah’s TV Show popularity can somehow reunite all these missing children with their families. Lets bring these missing children home and put these child abductors behind bars where they should be.
