Looking for update for Unsolved Mysteries - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I am looking for an update on a show were a little girl named Savannah Todd was abducted by her mother from her father who had physical custody. I think she aslo was known by another last name as well (Savannah). Her mother was bipolar and just took off with her when she came to get her for her visitation day. I just wanted to know if she had ever been found. I think she was under a year old and this happened around '92 or'93. I think the show I watched aired in '93 originally. I felt so bad for her father and just want to know if he ever got her back. I hope someone knows, I can't find any info anywhere. Thanks Much!!!

I think you got things a little backwards. Savannah was kidnapped by her father, not her mother.

But, thankfully, she has been returned to her mother.

But there was a case where a bipolar mother DID kidnapp her little daughter and the father whom had custody appeared on either UM or AMW. There are lots of these cases so they are easy to get tangled!

Yes. The case you are talking about (with the bipolar mother) is MERLE MARIE VANDERHEIDEN who is wanted for abducting her daughter Therese.

Here is a link....

Thanks, Dynoguy! What a shame they havent ever caught this woman. If only they would air it on AMW I'm sure she would get caught.
