SALEM, N.H., March 14 (UPI) -- "America's Most Wanted" has joined the hunt for a man who took donations earmarked for a baby's bone-marrow transplant from a New Hampshire shopping mall.
The theft occurred last week at a mall in Salem, N.H., where high school students set up donation containers for the 7-month-old child with a rare genetic disorder, the Boston Herald said Wednesday.
A mall employee said a man in his late 30s with olive skin and dark hair, wearing a light-blue shirt and khaki pants, strolled up to a store counter and took the bucket, saying he was there to collect the donations.
"It was such a despicable thing to do to an infant in such a heartbreaking situation," program producer Jon Lieberman said. "Anything we can do to help, we will."
No date had been scheduled for the broadcast.
A Vermont man whose own daughter underwent a bone-marrow transplant offered a $1,000 reward and Baby Giovanni's father, Michael Guglielmo of Belmont, N.H., is matching that amount.
Meanwhile, Baby Giovanni began another round of chemotherapy Monday at Children's Hospital Boston.
