On an August day in 1909, a woman and three men snatched a five-year-old girl from a home in Topeka, Kansas. It was at least the second time the child had been kidnapped, and would open the last chapter of a series of custody cases and actions going back to 1904, when the same little girl was a baby on display in the baby incubator exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.

In this episode we explore this remarkable case that emanated from a landmark event from the beginning of the 20th century and hinged on questions of paternity and evokes fears of human trafficking.
