In a shocking twist to a 70-year-old mystery, a boy kidnapped from an Oakland playground in 1951 has been found alive on the East Coast. Six-year-old Luis Armando Albino was lured away by a woman who promised him candy, leaving his family devastated. Despite relentless searches, Luis was never found, and his mother visited the police station for years, hoping for answers.
Fast forward to 2020, when Luis’ niece, Alida Alequin, took a DNA test on a whim. The results led her to a man she believed might be the long-lost uncle. After years of silence, a DNA test finally confirmed her suspicions—this man was Luis. He had spent decades on the East Coast, unaware of his true identity.
In June, Luis was reunited with his family, including his brother Roger, who tragically died two months later but at peace knowing Luis had been found. The mystery behind his abduction remains, as Luis believed he was the son of another couple. Sadly, their mother passed away in 2005, never knowing her son had survived.
