ES Folk just reached Virginia Voiers, the baby-Jesus nabber of national repute.
She is going to be on TV this evening, December 5, 2008, either the 5 or the 6 o’clock news on KY3. Interviewer Linda Russell said she didn’t know which time, although it would probably be at 6.
With her usual liveliness, Voiers said, “I think it’s funny they’re interviewing me for something I didn’t do.” –This year, at any rate.
Voiers nabbed the baby Jesus three years ago from the nativity scene at Basin Park; and although she wasn’t the first– there had been quite a tradition that had grown up of nabbings– she was the first to get national attention.
It was too much– a granny-nabber no less– and Voiers made her national TV debut– along with being fined $75.
She’s given up nabbing she says, but “I know a really good lawyer,” she tells us.
Voiers also says she hopes the baby is returned. “They should take the baby back,” she says. “Nabbing is one thing, stealing is another. It’s meant to be a prank.”
‘Tis the season to be jolly.

Virginia was also featured on 40/29 morning and evening.
Since Morris lost the tapes in the Hell’s Angel case, can’t pull up the latest theif….but can send Virginia’s shots to 2 news stations, well, maybe we have a problem of selective memory, as in hard drive.
Things just get weirder and weirder….
