“It's All Lies”: Kidnap Suspect Interrupts Hearing

A woman accused of posing as a daycare worker and kidnapping a baby interrupted a court hearing Tuesday repeating over and over "It's all lies."

Talia Gore was arrested May 4 at a South Bay trolley station - miles from San Diego City College where she originally met a teenager mother and her then-2-month-old baby, according to police.

Gore identified herself as a San Diego City College Child Development Center employee the mother told police.

After interviewing the teenage mother, buying her some food and some clothes for the baby, Gore allegedly encouraged the mother to go to the campus of Garfield High School to get some paperwork while she took the baby to the daycare.

The mom went to get some papers to get enrolled into the program and when she returned she realized the gravity of her mistake police said.

It was as the teenager was recalling this part of the story for Gore's preliminary hearing in a downtown courtroom that the defendant interrupted saying "It's not true. It's all lies."

The judge immediately suspended the hearing and ordered testing to see if Gore is mentally fit to stand trial.

Earlier in the hearing Gore's attorney had described her client as "fragile" to the judge saying that Gore was afraid of how the court case would affect her children. 

The defendant will return to court on Sept. 9.

The baby, now 5-months-old,  was not injured and was reunited with her mother when Officer Michelle Hansen recognized the baby and the stroller at the Iris Ave trolley station in Otay Mesa and took the suspect into custody.

Gone faces several charges including kidnapping, child abduction and child endangerment. Charges will not be affected by today's disruption, prosecutors said.

Ed. Note: Gore has no affiliation with San Diego City College according to school officials.
