Nun arraigned on new charge in girl's kidnapping

TAVARES, Fla. (AP) — A nun accused of taking a 2-year-old girl and fleeing the country is scheduled to be arraigned in central Florida for a related charge of witness tampering.

Laura Caballero is accused of attempting to “alter” the testimony of a woman who notarized a power-of-attorney that Caballero used to take the girl to Argentina. Her arraignment is Monday.

She has already pleaded not guilty to interfering with custody and false imprisonment.

Authorities say Caballero bullied a family in the U.S. illegally, taking their daughter to Argentina for six months.

Caballero was known as Sister Mary at the St. Filumena Catholic Church in Eustis. The church is not a Roman Catholic church affiliated with the Orlando Diocese or the Vatican, nor are its clergy and nuns.
