Love. our passion online
1:58
at diamonds direct dot Imagine
2:01
googling your name and
2:03
finding your own missing persons page. One
2:05
that presumes you died after disappearing as
2:08
an infant. This actually
2:10
happened to Steve Patterson. And
2:13
then I searched my name and
2:16
found the missing persons report. And
2:19
the next thing you did was call me. He
2:21
picked up the phone. I mean it was just
2:24
one in a billion I guess. I said I don't blame
2:26
you if you don't believe it. Cuz
2:28
this just sounds crazy. But
2:31
it didn't sound crazy to me. I've
2:34
been looking for him and another missing boy
2:36
in Steve's family for decades. Steve
2:38
calling me out the blue was only
2:41
the first part of this unbelievable story.
2:44
Because right around the time he was born,
2:46
Steve's birth mom married a serial killer. This
2:49
man was like a buzzard that circled the whole
2:51
family. And he kidnapped Steve's
2:53
sister when she was just six years old. And
2:57
that's when he took her and that
3:00
was the last time that she was
3:02
seen. If I'd have went with him,
3:04
I wouldn't be here. We started
3:06
tracing the wreckage of the serial killer through
3:08
his blood relatives. Steve was
3:10
just now discovering at 49 years
3:13
old all the kin he didn't know. Like
3:16
the mother who gave him up. What did
3:18
you find Steve? And
3:20
they said, who's Steve? And
3:22
sisters who wanted Steve in their lives.
3:24
So I keep saying it, I wanna
3:26
hold him. He's my
3:28
brother. Together,
3:33
we'd find out what really happened to his
3:36
older sister who disappeared. I
3:38
had thought he would take care and he just wanted her. I
3:41
never thought it would be the nightmare. And
3:44
we'll hear from the investigators who unraveled
3:46
the case. I show a picture of
3:49
Franklin Floyd and she says without any
3:51
hesitation, he stole my daughter Susie.
3:54
Suddenly, Steve had a lot of new people
3:56
on his birth mother's side and
3:58
a lot of heartache too. It
4:00
was a very big deal. It
4:02
changes a person when you find out so
4:04
many crazy things.
4:07
And he found common ground with long
4:09
lost sisters. She'll tell you like it
4:12
is too now. She don't should have cut anything. I
4:14
thought I'd connect Steve with his birth family and be done.
4:17
But then I fell down a rabbit hole
4:19
with him. We're FBI agents.
4:21
I said I've reopened the investigation. And
4:24
he looked at me and says, well I'd appreciate if you'd close it.
4:29

a family, and a serial killer. The
4:42
