Abbie Humphries, Abducted as a Newborn in 1994, Dies at 30 from Brain Cancer

Humphries, who gained national attention after being kidnapped as an infant in the UK, passed away in New Zealand following a four-year battle with a brain tumor.

Abbie Humphries was abducted from a Nottingham hospital in 1994, just three hours after her birth, by a woman posing as a nurse.
She was found and reunited with her parents 16 days later after a nationwide search and public appeals from her family.
Humphries moved to New Zealand with her family at age 10 and later became a champion swimmer and earned a degree in psychology and criminology.
In 2020, she was diagnosed with a grade-4 brain tumor shortly after her mother passed away from breast cancer; she fought the illness for over four years.
Her husband, Karl Sundgren, announced her death on December 9, 2024, and a memorial service is planned in Auckland on December 14.
