WOMAN ON TV:

..reportedly abducted Cara Minetti

from Exuma Hospital

and led local authorities

on a grisly chase...

...cancer patient Cara Minetti

is resting comfortably

at Exuma General tonight

after a harrowing

kidnapping ordeal

that led to the death

of a Monacan County sheriff

as well as numerous

life-threatening injuries

to local law enforcement

and hospital staff.

...outside the Exuma

County Courthouse

where we're just now

finding out that Deborah Logan

was found medically unfit

to stand trial

for the murder

of Sheriff Linda Tweed.

Logan's physical condition

has deteriorated rapidly

in the months since the violent ordeal

and child abduction,

leaving her barely able

to speak or communicate.

I'm standing in front

of the Minetti house.

This is the home

of little 10-year-old Cara

who's celebrating

a special birthday today

and for good reason.

She's in full remission

from leukaemia

in what many are calling

a miracle.

- MAN:
Get it, get it! Yay!

- WOMAN:
Go, go, go, go! Yay!

WOMAN:
We're celebrating

her birthday and we're moving on.

- She's happy and...

- It's a celebration.

MAN:
You rather have this

or hospital food?

Oh, my God. You're not

giving her that huge piece.

I'm tired of hospital food.

- (HOOTS)

- (ALL LAUGH AND CHEER)

REPORTER:
What are you

looking forward to doing

in your ripe old age?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

- No.

- Well, you better make a plan.

I have one.

You do? What is it?

- It's a secret.

- Oh. Hah!

Well, thank you for letting us

come to your

wonderful party, honey.

You're welcome.

You're looking at

the healthy and happy face

of a remarkable

10-year-old girl.

It's an unbelievable story

with such a happy ending.
