Brunette
woman looking like Augusta Lockridge (she often wears wide hats and
seems to have a strong personality), Marsha Connors is at the head of an
illegal network of children's adoption on a national scale : for proof,
Johnny Wallace kidnapped in Santa Barbara will be welcomed by a family
in Illinois. Several States, indeed, have a Toddlers
agency
which allows parents in lack of children to adopt in exchange for strong
amounts of money.
Marsha
pushes, one day, the door of Keith Timmons's office, with the firm
intention to obtain from him a more or less legal help. Avid to settle
in the Santa Barbara district, an office of the Toddlers
agency,
Marsha comes to appeal to the district attorney to obtain assistance and
legal advice (in the bypassing of the law), in exchange for a consequent
financial support.
Marsha
crosses the road of Johnny Wallace in his father's bar and, at once, she
understands the financial potential of this child. As a professional,
she organizes the kidnapping of the little boy by playing on Jane Wilson's
fears : it is by the way of false ambulance drivers that she manages to
deceive the young woman's vigilance.
She
also plans other children kidnappings, and even goes as far as hiring
Gina DeMott to escort the children towards their new families. Helped by
her brother, Paul Marshall, she intends to kidnap Chip Capwell; what
will be her big mistake. Very fast, the suspicions of Cruz Castillo turn
towards her association. Left by Keith Timmons (who has to face Jane
Wilson's harassments), Marsha eventually
gives to the district attorney a phone number : the one of Johnny
Wallace's new family.
Marsha
leaves then the stage, only her brother stays in town, to concentrate
completely in other crimes, in other States of the country.
