Abduction Charges Against Mother Dismissed

(Providence, RI)  --  Rhode Island is dismissing charges against a mother charged with abducting her daughters from their Warwick home more than 30 years ago.  Elaine Yates was arrested last week on a kidnapping charge in Houston, Texas, where she was living under the name Liana Waldberg.  She pled not guilty in Kent County Court last week and returned back to Texas.  The district attorney's office dismissed the charges after reviewing the case and the laws in existence at the time of the 1985 abduction.
