Around 9:15 a.m. on Aug. 21, Worcester police responded to a report of a woman missing her 4-day-old baby. The victim said she had been in contact with an acquaintance on Facebook.

The acquaintance — identified as Kassidy Lauziere-Cuevas, 19 — and the victim were just friends on social media and had not yet met in person, according to Worcester police. But, they decided to meet for coffee and Lauziere-Cuevas picked up the woman and her newborn.
