ST. LOUIS — Recently discovered medical files further dispute a St. Louis woman’s allegations that her baby was stolen from a hospital here five decades ago and a federal investigation into the case has now been closed.

U.S. Attorney Richard Callahan said during a news conference Friday that the medical records show Melanie Diane Gilmore, who was named Diane Jackson at birth, was born at a different hospital than the one the mother claimed.

Adoption and child welfare records previously obtained by The Associated Press also say Gilmore was born at City Hospital No. 1, and abandoned there.

That contradicts the story of Gilmore’s mother, Zella Jackson Price. Gilmore’s children tracked down Price earlier this year, saying she may be Gilmore’s biological mother.

Price said she had been told her child died soon after she gave birth at Homer G. Phillips hospital.
