A man who was robbed in 1951 when he was just 6 years old has been found safe and sound more than 7 decades later, thanks to an online heritage test and old newspaper photos.
Luis Armando Albino, a Puerto Rican who lived in California as a child, was discovered by his granddaughter Alida Alequin, on the other side of the United States, where he had spent his entire life. Albino had become a parent and grandfather, had worked as a firefighter and had also been part of the US Navy and had even fought in Vietnam.
On February 21, 1951, while playing with his younger brother in an Oakland park, Albino was enticed by a woman to go for a walk with him after she promised to buy him candy. But she kidnapped the little boy and sent him to the shores of the United States, where he ended up living with another family, who raised him as if he were their own child.
For more than 70 years, Albino remained a missing person and all his family members never stopped looking. The mother died in 2005, but other family members continued the search.
In 2020, his niece, Alequin, took an online DNA test and found she had a 22% match with a man who turned out to be her uncle. But it took another 4 years of investigations by the FBI for the parties to finally meet and Albino's identity to be confirmed.
