Maternal instinct

In 1997, in the house of Luz Kuevos, a 25-year-old housewife from Philadelphia, wiring caught fire. Luz, her husband and two sons were able to escape, but from the burning house they did not manage to take out their newborn daughter. After conducting an examination, the police said that the girl died and her remains burned in a fire, but Luz refused to believe it. For six years, she believed that her daughter was kidnapped and found evidence. The history of the Luz is in the new issue of the weekly labor-coo-brim “cold”.

For six years, an American did not believe that her newborn daughter burned down during a fire. And it turned out to be right

On December 15, 1997, the 25-year-old housewife Luz Kuevas, getting out at home in one of the emigrant regions of Philadelphia, unexpectedly felt the smell of Gary. Luz immediately sent her sons to the street and ran upstairs to pick up a newborn daughter from the crib, but already on the stairs the eyes of the puddles were caught from the smoke. Having risen to the second floor, she discovered that the nursery was embraced by a flame.

The Luz in a panic burst into the room and tried to find her daughter, but she was nowhere. The face of Luz was very burned, and, feeling that she could no longer be inside, she rushed into the street to call for help. One of the neighbors came running to help. Taking a fire extinguisher, he tried to break into the second floor, but could not. Inside, he heard a children's cry.

A suspicious visit

Luz and her husband Pedro, emigrants from Puerto Rico, have lived in the USA for several years and raised two sons: five-year-old Wilfredo and four-year-old Israel. In early December 1997, they had a daughter Dalimar. The girl had brown eyes, dark brown hair and dimples on her cheeks. When a fire occurred, she turned only 10 days.

The rescuers who arrived to the house extinguished the fire in 14 minutes. They found that the cause of the fire was a faulty extension cord connected to the heater near the crib.

Luz did not know English well. She tried to explain to the rescuers that her child could be kidnapped, but no one listened to her.

Luz had reasons for such suspicions.

On the morning of December 15, a cousin Pedro, 36-year-old Caroline Korea, came to visit them. She asked Pedro to help her check the brake system of her car. While he was engaged in repairs, Caroline entered the house.

Luz was engaged in cleaning and reluctantly talked with the guest. During a short conversation, Caroline mentioned that recently she had a daughter too.

While Caroline was waiting for Pedro, Luz laid Delimar in the bedroom on the second floor and returned to work around. As soon as the car was ready, Caroline went outside, but a few minutes later returned , saying that she had forgotten her bag in the girl’s bedroom. Soon after her departure, Luz felt the smell of Gary.

Death without evidence

Firefighters suggested that Delimar was completely burned during the fire - she was still too small so that her teeth could grow, and this is often the only thing that remains of a burned person.

The team of forensic experts examined the conflagration for two days. “Unfortunately, the child’s body was completely destroyed by fire,” the police told parents.

Since experts did not find human remains, the death certificate of the family of Delimar did not give out. Luz could not come to terms with the official version of what had happened and insisted on the investigation, but the police closed the case.

The LUZ was heavily experienced by the loss of the child and fell into deep depression. She went to a psychotherapist and hoped that sooner or later there was a Delimar. She wanted to hire a private detective that would help her start searching, but Luz and Pedro barely made ends meet and could not afford to pay for their services.
In 1999, the spouses had another child - a boy who was called Samuel. Pedro believed that it was time for a loss to come to terms with the death of Delimar, but this only worsened their relationship and caused frequent quarrels. In 2002, they divorced.

Beautiful daughter

On January 24, 2004, Evelyn Vera, the older sister of Pedro, arranged a party in honor of the birthday of her three -year -old granddaughter. They had a good relationship with Luz, and Evelyn invited her to a holiday.

Caroline came from New Jersey for a birthday from New Jersey, with whom the Luz did not see each other since the fire. She arrived with her six -year -old daughter Alia.
According to the memoirs of Luz, during the party, Evelyn brought Aliya to her: "Look, what a pretty daughter of Carolin." Luz peered into the girl’s face and felt that her smile was very familiar to her.

“I realized that this is my daughter. I wanted to hug her and run away with her, ”Luz later recalled that moment.

Thanks to the criminal show that the Luz watched on TV, she knew that the police could determine the relationship with the DNA test. She decided to go to the trick. Pretending that Aliya's hair was stuck in the hair, the beam went up to her and carefully cut a small strand of hair.

One hundred percent similarity

A few days after the party, Luz turned to the local deputy from the Democratic Party for help from the Democratic Party, who represented its Spanish -speaking region. Initially, Cruz was skeptical of the history of Luz, but then he nevertheless agreed to help her. He called the police department and demanded an analysis of DNA.

Investigators used an aliya hair and took analysis from Luz. The examination showed that their DNA coincides one hundred percent. The expert group confirmed that Luz was right and Aliya was actually her daughter, who all this time was considered the deceased in a fire.

I gave birth to a child and regretted this reality was not at all the same as on blogs on Instagram. I often cry at my daughter and miss the society of 11 minutes of reading in my last life

On March 2, the New Jersey police invited Caroline to hand over the DNA test to check their relationship with Aliya. Caroline agreed and paid for the test herself. Her lawyer later said that Caroline, by that time, convinced herself that Aliyah was really her child. After the results of the examination, the police detained her. Aliya was sent to the foster family during the investigation, where the guardianship service was watching her.

Investigators found that previously Caroline was already accused of arson. For some time she worked as an accountant at the medical center, where she stole banking checks. In November 1996, she realized that her boss found out about the scam, and set fire to the office to hide the evidence.

Then Caroline was accused of arson and fraud. She made a deal with the investigation and pleaded guilty. In August 1998, she was sentenced to five years and public work. This information was enough for the police to make an accusation against Caroline of arson of the Luz house and the theft of the child.

Caroline version

Caroline denied the accusations of arson and assured that she had taken her daughter Luz at the request of Pedro. According to Caroline, she denied the charges of arson and assured that she had taken her daughter Luz at the request of Pedro. According to Carolin, on December 15, she came to Pedro, her ex -husband’s lousa, so that he helped to repair her car. Entering the house, Caroline saw Luz and Mother Pedro, who was visiting them.

It was dark on the street, and Pedro soon returned to the house. He asked Caroline to take him to his girlfriend, supposedly to buy drugs. Soon he left the house with Delimar in his arms and put her in Caroline's car.

Caroline drove up to her girlfriend Pedro and remembered that she had forgotten her bag. While Pedro was visiting, she and Delimar returned back to the Luz house.

“His mother stood in the doorway and said that she felt the smell of smoke,” said Caroline.

When the fire flared up, they managed to withdraw Israel and Wilfredo from the house. Then Pedro's mother allegedly asked Caroline to return after him and say that a fire had begun in their house. Pedro allegedly repeated the whole way back that the fire occurred through his fault.

At that moment, Pedro allegedly asked Caroline to pick up his daughter and leave. However, she insisted that she wanted to make sure that no one was injured in a fire.

Having risen to the house of Pedro and the Luz, Caroline saw a pocket sitting in the back seat of an ambulance.

“I asked her if everything was in order with her,” said Caroline. “But she never mentioned the child.” The only thing that bothered her was a burn on her face. ”

Caroline allegedly remained at the place of fire for some time, and then left with Delimar. Then she began to tell her relatives that Delimar was her newborn daughter, and interrupted all the ties with the Pedro family. Caroline already had their own children - two sons and a daughter, and shortly before the fire, she tried to get pregnant again, but she did not work out.

“She treated this little girl better than her three other children,” said Evelyn Vera, cousin Pedro and Caroline. “She sent her to a private school and did everything possible for her.”

At the same time, some acquaintances suspected that Aliyah was not her own daughter Caroline, because the girl was not like a “mother”.

In March 2004, the court sentenced Karolin Correra, sentencing her to 30 years in prison and depriving her of parental rights.

Family reunification

Aliya was in shock, learning that her “mother” is not the one for whom she gives himself. She screamed and cried when she was taken to the foster family.

The first meeting of Luz and Aliyah took place on March 4, 2004. Luz was very afraid that Aliya would be shy and did not want to communicate with her. But as soon as they first met, Aliya jumped out from under the table andexclaimed joyfully: “Surprise!” She kissed the Luz andcalled her a mother.

“At heart, I knew that it would be so,” said Luz. “I'm going to give her everything she wishes.”

Her father Pedro also came to meet Alia. He was very glad that his daughter was finally found, and said that he had not stopped thinking about her for many years.

However, Luz claimed that he did not want to be a father: "Once he said that he would like Delimar not to be born." At the trial, Luz showed a copy of the birth certificate of Delimar, which indicated that the father was unknown, and achieved that Pedro could see her daughter only in her presence.

On the same day, the court approved the LUZ right of guardianship over Delimar. Gradually, Luz began to call Aliya Delimar and learn English in order to better understand her daughter, who did not speak Spanish.
“I am finally at home,” Delimar said , smiling, when the journalists asked her about well-being. - I'm happy".

The last meeting

A year and a half after the arrest, Caroline was allowed to meet with Delimar. They had to communicate through the glass - they were not allowed to hug each other.

“When you get used to the fact that the child is always there, it becomes very sad that you cannot hug him. She told me that she liked how I cared for her, ”Caroline shared .

According to the prosecutor, Delimar, who was already seven years old, herself asked for a meeting. “We wanted to give her the opportunity to say goodbye to Caroline,” he said . The date lasted about 45 minutes. Later, Caroline said that she recalls this meeting every day.

“I feel terrible,” said Caroline during an interview in prison. “They think I am a monster, but I am actually a very loving person.”
Delimar is now 27 years old, in August 2023 she married and raises his adoptive son. She travels a lot and plans to publish a book about her story.
