An FBI agent who helped rescue a baby kidnapped from a Washington hospital in 1997 got quite the surprise at his retirement party.
The now-grown Stewart Rembert came to wish Troy Sowers well.
The News Tribune reports Sowers retired Friday as a special agent in charge of an FBI field office in Knoxville, Tennessee. He says seeing Rembert, who’s in the Marines, was a great way to leave the agency.
The infant Rembert was taken from his mother’s hospital room in Lakewood, Pierce County. The ensuing investigation led to a trash bin, where Rembert was found in a box.
A woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping.
Rembert says he was game when Sowers’ colleague asked him to attend the party. He called meeting Sowers a privilege.
