McKenia Braelyn Wright

Jasmine Layre WrightUpdate 2: McKenia Wright has her child back and is now left perplexed as to why Jasmine Wright had taken the child. The mother suggested she took the child so she could sneak out of the house.

Jasmine shared a room with the infant and likely couldn't leave home without waking the child, so she brought McKenia with her.

The Post and Courier quotes the child's mother as saying about her relationship with her cousin Jasmine Wright:
Everything yesterday (Saturday) was normal. I've not had any problems with that child. She is a sweet girl, that's why I'm kind of confused about why she's done what she's done.

Police used cell phone records to track down the pair of girls.
