Global News published this video item, entitled “Texas family reunites with daughter who went missing 51 years ago” – below is their description.
A U.S. woman who was allegedly kidnapped by her babysitter more than 50 years ago made an emotional and joyous reunion with her birth family over the weekend.
According to a report from news station WCIV, Melissa Highsmith was found by her family with the help of a DNA test and police assistance.
Melissa was just 22 months old when she was allegedly kidnapped in August of 1971 by a babysitter her mother had found after taking out a newspaper ad asking for help with child care.
Melissa’s family said they never stopped looking for her, and their diligence paid off just last week when the results of a DNA test linked their family to Melissa’s children.
