There's so many extra layers to this. Was she released from the psych ward? Assumedly so, but wouldn't there be records of her being released? Were there and they just didn't mention it? And how was she admitted to the psych ward without them identifying her as the woman who kidnapped her son, and thus identifying him rather than putting him up for adoption. It's like even beyond the original mystery of the missing child being solved, there are even more mysteries.

[@collybeans586]

Yeah appearently no one cares that something horrible most likely happened.. We're just accepting the premise that she was crazy are we...?!?! A costody case from the 70s... It strikes me as very odd that they didnt touch on it MUCH more... Especially when she went through the trouble of changing her sons name and then she "mysteriously" dissappears from a psychiatric facility(in the 70s!).. I like how they used that word "mystery" like its a fucking fairytales and not a horror story with too many loose ends and this poor mother they all say was crazy.. something went down for sure.

Listen to the video again. So many reasons! It wasn't his first thought. The fact that his birth certificate was created a year after his birth, he was 4 years old when adopted, he was told he is half Native Hawaiian, but looks Euro, so he already knew his case was odd. Then, he saw a news story about a woman who found herself by looking on Missing Children websites, and the possibility of accurate age-progression images sparked him, made him consider the possibility.

[@lynnhexler-haan3357]

@ Sophie Gregory His mother I believe did " a runner" no warning, no reason, no note, but rather self serving. Father went to work returned home & both were gone The plan was to disappear, hence all the double dates of birth & skullduggery, anything to prevent the father accessing the infant despite desperately searching & the police being informed. Information gleaned later added to the story pre- adoption, this I found on another website ( short & sweet)
