ABOUT THIS BOOK:
The whole world was fascinated by the harrowing story of Ernest and Regina Twigg, grieving parents of a mortally ill daughter. They discovered shortly before her death that she had been switched with their own healthy newborn in a small Florida hospital nine years earlier. Having searched out their birth child, the Twiggs battled to win custody of her from Bob Mays, the single parent who claimed that, regardless of biology, the Twigg's effort to separate him from his beloved little girl, Kimbery was cruel and unethical. In the Baby Swap Conspiracy, award winning investigative journalist Loretta Schwartz-Nobel reveals extraordinary new information about the case. She is the only journalist to whom Bob May's former wife, Cindy spoke. The shocking interview borne out by her sworn depositions and those of a highly respected psychiatrist who counseled the troubled May's family, form the basis for a previously unrevealed portrait of this “model” husband and father. Rather than the sympathetic figure depicted by the press, Bob Mays is portrayed in the book as a smooth, charming, and affable person on one level but a controlling and explosive sociopath on another. Schwartz-Nobel brings to light long buried documents that have led to new witnesses and takes us closer than ever before to unraveling the desperation that produced a deliberate criminal act and cover-up.
