Story highlights Wichita police identify woman suspected of killing a mother and kidnapping her newborn

Police found the baby in Dallas on Saturday after a two-day search

(CNN) A Texas woman faked a pregnancy then traveled to Kansas, killed an acquaintance and kidnapped her baby, Wichita police said Monday.

Yesenia Sesmas, 34 of Dallas, was arrested Saturday and charged with killing Laura Abarca-Nogueda, 27, last week and kidnapping her newborn, Wichita Police Lt. Todd Ojile said.

"We believe they knew each other for a few years," Ojile said.

Eight-day-old Sophia Victoria Gonzalez Abarca was returned to her relatives in Wichita on Saturday.
