Excerpt: A frantic two-day search for a six-month-old child ended Friday as a hoax -- with police arresting the 22-year-old woman who spun the tale.

Meagan McCormic had told police her child, Riley Archer Buchness, had disappeared Tuesday afternoon with a nanny named Camille.

But McCormic never had a child -- she had a miscarriage six months ago, police said. And the nanny with a heavy French accent never existed.
