The Empty Nursery The Disappearance of Haley Hardwick Jaclyn Weldon White A unique dual perspective on one of the most famous Atlanta kidnappings On July 3, 1992, seven-month-old Haley Hardwick was reported kidnapped. Her father Kenny Hardwick told police that he had stopped to assist two stranded motorists and, upon returning to his own vehicle, discovered his daughter missing. The case became a media sensation overnight. People in the metropolitan Atlanta area became obsessed with the mystery of the baby's disappearance. Huge searches by hundreds of volunteers produced no trace of the child. Although they spent hundreds of man-hours following up leads about the kidnapping, the police began to believe that the father was responsible and, with the media, began a campaign to pressure him into revealing the truth. Numerous interviews with the lead investigators and the child's mother have provided in-depth insight into the case from two very different perspectives. While the police followed one lead after another, the child's mother was torn between believing a husband she loved and the authorities who kept telling her he was responsible for the baby's disappearance. As the investigation dragged on, Haley Hardwick became everybody's baby. Jaclyn Weldon White is a retired juvenile court administrator who worked in law enforcement for more than twenty years. Her first book, Whisper to the Black Candle: Voodoo, Murder, and the Case of Anjette Lyles is a bestseller and has earned her fans from all over the globe.
