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
