An Ardmore woman charged with kidnapping a newborn was ordered to remain in federal custody after a court appearance in Tennessee.
Tammy Renee Silas, of 29920 State Line Road, Ardmore, is charged in the Sept. 29 abduction of 4-day-old Yair Anthony Carillo-Gurrolla, taken after his mother was stabbed at their Nashville home. The baby was found unharmed with Silas in Ardmore by FBI agents at 9:40 p.m. Friday.
Investigators were led to Silas after reviewing Walmart parking lot surveillance tapes, which captured the image of a Kia Spectra rented by Silas following Gurrolla’s car out of the parking lot.
A magistrate said Wednesday that the 39-year-old defendant must remain in jail and set a bond hearing for Oct. 27.
Public defender Isaiah Gant asked for an interpreter for the case, explaining that while Silas speaks English and Spanish she needs an interpreter to fully understand the legal complexities.
Gant couldn’t immediately comment after court because of another hearing.
Prosecutor Phil Wehby declined to comment.
