Her Online "Friend" From a Mom Group Was Planning to Kidnap Her Kids All Along

What started as a supportive online mom group quickly turned into a nightmare. In May 2021, new mother Gabrielle Rogers welcomed a woman she knew as “Kathleen Daniels” into her Savannah, Georgia home, someone she believed was a friend bringing baby formula. Instead, within minutes, that visit turned violent. The woman pulled out a gun, shot Gabrielle multiple times, and kidnapped her six-week-old twin boys.Despite her injuries, Gabrielle was able to help police from her hospital bed, giving them critical details that led to a breakthrough. Detectives soon realized “Kathleen Daniels” didn’t exist. The suspect was actually Angela Montgomery, a local woman living under a different identity. When police located her home, they found her hiding inside—with the twins alive and unharmed.As the investigation unfolded, a disturbing motive emerged. Angela had been lying about being pregnant with twins, even telling friends and family she had just given birth. When confronted, her story spiraled into false claims about a mysterious twin sister, none of which were true. In the end, she was found guilty but mentally ill and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Gabrielle and her sons survived, but the randomness and deception behind the attack make this case impossible to forget. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
