Speaker 1: Imagine good Glenn your name and finding your own missing
Speaker 1: person's page, one that presumes you died after disappearing as
Speaker 1: an infant. This actually happened to Steve Patterson.
Speaker 2: And then I searched my name and found the missing person's.
Speaker 1: Report and the next thing he did was call me.
Speaker 1: He picked up the phone.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just one in a billion, I guess,
Speaker 2: I said, I don't blame you if you don't believe it,
Speaker 2: because this sounds crazy, But.
Speaker 1: It didn't sound crazy to me. I've been looking for
Speaker 1: him and another missing boy in Steve's family for decades.
Speaker 1: Steve calling me out the blue was only the first
Speaker 1: part of this unbelievable story because right around the time
Speaker 1: he was born, Steve's birthmon married a serial killer. This
Speaker 1: man was like a buzzer that circled the whole family,
Speaker 1: and he kidnapped Steve's sister when she was just six
Speaker 1: years old, and that's when he took her in. That
Speaker 1: was last time she was seen.
Speaker 2: If I'd have went with him, I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1: We started tracing the wreckage of the serial killer through
Speaker 1: his blood relatives Steve, but just now discovering at forty
Speaker 1: nine years old all the Kenny didn't know, like the
Speaker 1: mother who gave him up, Well did you find Steve?
Speaker 1: And they said, who's Steve? And sisters who wanted Steve
Speaker 1: in their lives, Like I'll keep saying that, I just
Speaker 1: I want to hold them, He's my brother. Together, we'd
Speaker 1: find out what really happened to his older sister who disappeared.
Speaker 2: I had thought he would take care and he just
Speaker 2: wanted her. I never thought it would be the night Frette.
Speaker 1: And we'll hear from the investigators who unraveled the case.
Speaker 3: I show a picture of Franklin Floyd and she says,
Speaker 3: without any hesitation, he stole my daughter, Susie.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, Steve had a lot of new people on his
Speaker 1: birth mother's side, and a lot of heartache too. Was
Speaker 1: a very big deal.
Speaker 3: Changes a person when you find out so many crazy.
Speaker 1: Things, and he found common ground with long lost sisters.
Speaker 2: She'll tell you like it is too now, she don't
Speaker 2: should have could anything.
Speaker 1: I thought I'd connect Steve with this birth family and
Speaker 1: be done, but then I fell down a rabbit hole
Speaker 1: with him.
Speaker 3: We're a f theie agents. I said, I've reopened the investigation,
Speaker 3: and he looked at me and says what I appreciate it,
Speaker 3: if you'd close it.
