So here's the happy ending: Eventually, this depressed mom of a nine-month old was found on Baltimore's Skid Row and returned to safety in Rhode Island.
Unfortunately, the rest of the story will make you want to bite someone.
Katie Corcoran had been missing for nine weeks after she walked out of Providence, R.I., hospital where she was getting treatment for post-partum depression. Through some stroke of providence, a shopkeeper in Baltimore found a website about Katie set up by her husband Rob and this mom-of-two made it home.
I'm still surprised at how little coverage this story has gotten,
however. Corcoran's disappearance and discovery all happened at the end
of last year and few major news outlets covered it.
You'd think this would have been a cause the Nancy Grace's of the media would have been hyping the heck out of. Pretty, fairly young, white woman goes missing. Oh, but she's a mom who is depressed. Right. Not nearly as sexy as a sorority girl on a tropical island. Or am I too cynical?
At least it ends well.
