SOLVED by DNA: Luis Armando Albino Missing 73 Years - Found Alive

In 1951, 6-year-old Luis Armando Albino vanished from a park in Oakland, California, after a woman lured him away with the promise of candy. His family searched desperately, but the trail went cold. For 73 long years, his mother never gave up hope—even until her death in 2005. Then, in 2020, a simple ancestry DNA test taken "just for fun" by his niece, Alida Alequin, changed everything.
This is the incredible true story of how modern DNA technology reunited a family separated by decades, leading to an emotional reunion in June 2024 with his brother Roger (who sadly passed away just two months later). Luis, now a retired firefighter, Marine Corps veteran, father, and grandfather, was living on the East Coast with no idea of his true origins.
A heartwarming tale of hope, persistence, and the power of science in solving cold cases. The kidnapping investigation remains open, but for the Albino family, the miracle is complete.
