Megan McCormic, mugshot 12/25/08
Miami police say a 6-month old baby boy who was reported missing was never really gone -- and didn't exist.
A Miami woman named Megan McCormic, 22, told police that a baby sitter never returned her 6-month-old. Police said Friday that McCormic was lying and used the fake existence of the baby to lure an ex-boyfriend from Boston, who had traveled to Miami to meet his supposed son. McCormic suffered a miscarriage in March, but lied to the baby's father and told him she carried to term. McCormic sent baby pictures to him that she had obtained off the internet.

Missing Baby Never Existed
McCormic was arrested Friday morning on charges of giving false information to police officers. It is not clear whether she has an attorney.
Miami Police want McCormic to pay for the resources that were used to locate the supposed missing child.
Nearly 20 detectives worked the case throughout all of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Restitution for these charges are likely.
Casey Anthony: "The Nanny took her.."
Casey Anthony was first charged in July, 2008, with Felony Child Neglect and Making False Statements to Law Enforcement to hinder a case. Anthony was later charged with First Degree Murder and is in the Orlando County jail without bond. Her daughter, Caylee Anthony, remains were found six months after she was last seen, one quarter mile from Anthony's home. Law enforcement, FBI, as well as other searchers and resources, clocked almost six months total investigative and search time before Caylee's remains were found December 11, 2008, without any assistance from her mother, Casey.
George and Cindy are planning a memorial for Caylee Anthony for after the holidays and after defense experts conduct a second autopsy.
The Anthony's have removed all the "Have You Seen Caylee" and "Help Find Caylee Marie Anthony" posters that were attached to their front door since July, 2008.
