Missing children who turned up alive years later often returned with stories more unbelievable than fiction. Some escaped after years of captivity, others discovered through DNA testing that the families who raised them had kidnapped them as babies. A few survived for decades under different names while their real relatives continued searching.
These extraordinary cases include Steven Stayner, who escaped after seven years and rescued another child, reunited with his parents after 32 years. Zephany Nurse, discovered when her biological sister noticed their resemblance at school. Saroo Brierley used Google Earth to find the Indian hometown he had lost as a child, while Paul Fronczak uncovered a shocking identity mystery involving two missing babies.
You’ll also hear about Alex Batty, Natasha Ryan, Susan Gervaise, Heather Robinson, and Luis Albino, who was found alive 73 years after being kidnapped from an Oakland park.
In each case, one unexpected clue, DNA match, or chance encounter finally revealed what happened to a child who had seemingly vanished forever.
